14. Open Infidels, wicked ones, and blasphemers, ought not to be baptised: For they ⟨p. 485⟩ought not to be baptised, who believe not with their whole heart. Wherefore, Philip saith to the Eunuch, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest be baptised. 1So John also baptised none but such as confessed their sins. Now if blasphemers and unbelievers are not to be baptised, it followeth that they are to be shut out of the Church, and not to be admitted to the receiving of the Sacraments. They who ought not to be baptised, neither ought they to be admitted unto the Supper: for there is one and the same reason in both.
