All they who are partakerrs of the grace both signified and exhibited to us in baptisme, may and ought to receive the signe and sacrament thereof: this is the basis and foundation upon which S. Peter himself builds, Acts 10. 47. Can any man forbid water,* 1.1 that these should not be baptized which have recei∣ved the holy Ghost as well as we? And it may be further con∣firmed both by an argument drawn à majore ad minus, after this manner: if God bestow upon children that which is greater, the inward grace; why should we denie them the les∣ser, the outward element? Or by an argument drawn à relatis, they to whom the land is given ought not to be denyed the sight and keeping of the deeds and evidences thereof, neither ought we to sever those things which God hath joyned, to wit, the signs and the things signified: they divide the signe from the thing signified who denie them to have grace ordinarily, modo non ponant obicem, who receive the outward sign; and they again sever the thing signified from the sign who allow unto children the grace of remission of sinnes, and regenera∣tion, and yet denie them the sign and seal thereof, to wit, bap∣tisme.

But children receive the grace signified and exhibited in baptisme;* 1.2 for the Apostle teacheth us, they are not unclean but holy; and therefore have both remission of sins and sanctifica∣tion.
Ergo, children ought to receive the sign and sacrament there∣of, to wit, baptisme.
