1Once only: for they are here charged to administer Baptism, not Baptisms: And although in the Hebrews there be made mention of Baptisms;2 yet that is not to teach that one ought to be often baptized; but to declare the outward baptism of the water, and the inward of the spirit, which we receive at one time.3 Secondly, it is said the Church continued in prayer and breaking of bread, not in baptizing. Thirdly, it is a pledge of our new birth; now a man being borne but once, hath no need of this Sacrament but once.
