What is Baptism to this ingrafting?
VVhat is Baptisme to this ingrafting?
A Seal and a pledge of it, wherein is grace exhibited, and not the ingrafting or incorporation it self; considering that we are baptized in the right only of being members of Christ before: though ordinarily we are actually ingrafted by the Sacrament, not by force simply of the work done, but as it is Gods ordinance and a seal of his covenant.
