The Explication.
1There is a double washing in Baptism: external, which is by water: and internal, which is by the blood and spirit of Christ. The internal washing is signified and sealed by the external, and in the lawful use of Baptism is joined therewith. Now this internal washing is of two sorts: §12The washing of blood, which is our remission of sins, and justification for the blood-shed of Christ. §23The washing of the Spirit, which is our renewing by the holy Ghost. Both these are at once together performed. Wherefore, To be washed by the blood of Christ, is to be justified, and to receive remission of sins for the blood of Christ shed on the Cross for us: To be washed by the holy Ghost, is to be regenerated by the holy Ghost; which regeneration is an alteration and change of evil inclinations into good, which is wrought by the holy Ghost in our will and heart, that we may have an hatred of sin, and contrariwise, a purpose to live according to the will of God.
1THere is a double washing in Baptisme: externall, which is by water: and internall, which is by the bloud and spirit of Christ. The internall washing is signified and sealed by the externall, and in the lawfull use of Baptisme is joyned therewith. Now this internall washing is of two sorts: §12The washing of bloud, which is our remission of sinnes, and justification for the bloud-shed of Christ.
