[ 2] And as concerning your argument made vpon the history of the insti∣tution of Christes supper,* 1.1 like fonde reasoning might vngodly men make of the sacrament of Baptisme, and so scoffe out both these high mysteries of Christ. For when Christ said these wordes after his resurrection, Goe into the whole world, and preach vnto all people, baptising them in the name of the Father,* 1.2 the Sonne, and the holy Ghost: Here might wicked blas∣phemers say: What point of faith is in these wordes, but to beleue the sto∣ry, that Christ did institute such a sacrament, wherin he commaunded to geue water for a token: which is now after this vnderstanding, no secrete mysterie at all, or any ordinaunce aboue reason: so as in the ordinaunce of this sacrament after this vnderstanding, Christ shewed not his omnipo∣tency: For he sayd not then, Whosoeuer receiueth this token of water, shall receuie remission of sinne, or the holy ghost, or shall haue any profite of it in especial, but, Do this.
