CHAP. XXII.
1What say you then to the fourth Exception, against the Baptism received in England, taken from the false end, for which it is Administered, to wit, for the Regeneration of the present Infants? And it plainly seemeth no otherwise to me, by the prayers and Collects which are appointed to be read in the book of the Common Prayer before, and after Baptism. For before Baptism they pray, that the Infants coming to this holy Baptism, might receive remission of sins by spiritual Regeneration. And after Baptism, the Minister is appointed to give thanks upon this ground, that seeing these children are Regenerate and grafted into the body of Christs Congregation &c.
