Q. What meaneth the sprinkling or dipping in water?
A. lIt seals unto us remission of sins, and sanctification, by the obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Christ.
Q. How cometh it to pass, that many, after their Baptism, for a long time feel not the effect and fruit of it, and some never?
A. The fault is not in God, who keeps his Covenant, but the fault is in themselves, in that they do not keep the condition of the Covenant; to receive Christ by faith, and to repent of all their sins.
