1In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the holy Ghost. These words, in the name, signify, §11. That Baptism was instituted by the common commandment and authority of these three: and that these three persons do command, that they, who will be members of the Church, be baptized. Wherefore, it is of like force, when the Minister baptiseth, as if God the Father, the Son, and the holy Ghost did baptize. And hereof also it is manifest, that these three persons are the three subsistents, or persons of the God-head, and are one true God, into whom we are baptized. §22. They signify that these three persons confirm unto us by their own testification, that they receive us into favour, and perform that unto us which is signified by baptism; which is, salvation, if we believe, and be baptized: where is noted the principal end of Baptism. §33. To be baptized in the name of the Father, the Son, and the holy Ghost, is, That he which is baptized be bound to the knowledge, faith, worship, trust, honour, and invocation of this true God,2 who is the Father, and the Son, and the holy Ghost. This is the second end of Baptism, which Paul also in these words declareth: were ye baptized into the name of Paul? As if he should say: Ye ought to be his, to whom ye have given your name, and bound your selves in Baptism. §44. Baptising them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the holy Ghost, that is, baptising them by invocation of the three persons, invocating the name of the Father, the Son, and the holy Ghost upon them. Which three persons, receive us into favour: And the Father verily receiveth us into favour, for the Son, by the holy Ghost, whom the Son giveth us from the Father.
