Beside this Baptism is an exterior and solemn profession of the Christian religion by the which we all do bind our selves to accept and take Jesus Christ for our only Saviourb, and to live in brotherly charity, as being all together but one body baptised with one Baptism and by one spirit united and knit in him. The word cthat is to say: the ordinance of Jesus Christ joined with the promise sincerely as God spake it, is this, to Baptise in the name of the father, the son and the holy Ghost, whosoever shall believe and be Baptised, shall be saved.
