Tindale fol. 6. ¶ Baptime is a signe of repentance and of forgiuenesse of sinnes whereby God doth testifie that he washeth awaie or forgiueth the sinnes of them that beléeue and also wherby God doth seale and admonish vs of true repentance all the daies of our life Cheeke All we which haue bene baptised into Iesus Christ haue bene baptised into his death ¶ That is that sinne through Christs death maie be abolished and die in vs and that as wée are made cleane outwardlie with water in our Baptime so inwardlie our sinnes maie be washed awaie and cleansed by the bloud of Christ. The Bible note ¶ Baptime is an outward signe representing in vs the ●enuing of the spirit and mortifieng of our members in Iesus Christ by the which we are buried in death with him Tind ¶ Baptime is a Sacrament by the which Iesus Christ doth offer vnto vs the remission of our sinnes and our regeneration vnder the figure of the water as he doth indéed communicate the same vnto vs by his holie spirit Also it testifieth vnto vs that he receiueth vs into his Church as true members of the same And we for our part doe testifie that we acknowledge him for such a one as he declareth himselfe toward vs that we beléeue that he maketh vs partakers of all his great riches Pet. Viret ¶ By Baptime wherewith we be washed out wardlie is signified that we be washed inwardlie by the bloud of Christ the remembrance wherof all the Apostles indeuoured to worke in the mindes of the faithfull Marl. vpon the Apoc. fol. 11. How we be washed by baptime Whereas Saint Paule saith we be washed by Baptime his meaning is that GOD doth thereby both witnesse our washing and therewithall perfourme the thing that is figured For except the truth or performaunce of the thing went ioyntlie with the signe of it it were an vnproper speach to say that Baptime is the washing of the soule And by the waie we must beware that we put not ouer that thing either to the signe or to the minister of the signe which is proper to God onelie that is to saie that we thinke not the minister to be the author of washing vs cleane or the water to purge the filthinesse of our soule Which to doe belongeth onelie vnto Christs bloud Againe we must take héede that no peece of our trust do stick either to the water or to the man for as much as the onelie right vse of the Sacrament is to leade vs straightlie by the hande vnto Christ and there to staie For it is onelie the holie Ghost that renueth and quickeneth vs and no creature or outward worke is able to bring that to passe For if circumcision doe nothing auaile in Christ Gal. 5. 6. Surelie neither auaileth it anie man to bée but onelie dipt in water and to be admitted into the Church except he haue faith that is workefull by charitie which thing the powring on of water perfourmeth not for then should all that bée baptised be faithfull And therefore there is added Through the word Marl. vpon the Apoc. fol. 292.

Paule héere iudgeth of Christians as a man iudgeth but God doth not measure and iudge his faithfull onelie by outward signes but by the inwarde thoughts and heartes D. Heines ¶ Cornelius the Centurion receiued the holie Ghost before he was baptised ¶ The gelded man of Quéene Candace beléeued and therefore had grace before he was baptised Obiection The Apostles béeing commaunded to baptise in the name of the Father and of the Sonne and of the holie Ghost they notwithstanding baptised in the name of Iesus Christ onelie Aunswere To baptise in the name of Christ is to baptise according to the institution and commaundement of Christ neither do these words in the name of Christ import that Baptime was ministred in the name of Christ onelie and in none other name beside no more then these wordes Paule the Seruaunt of Iesus Christ doe import
