XXVIII. Of Baptism.

Baptism is not onely a sign of Pro∣fession, and mark of Difference, whereby Christian men are discerned from others, that be not Christned; but it is also a sign of Regeneration, or new birth, whereby, as by an In∣strument, they that receive Baptism Rightly, are grafted into the Church; the promises of forgivnesse of sin, and of our Adoption to be the sons of God, by the holy Ghost are visibly signed and sealed; Faith is confirmed, and Grace increased by vertue of Prayer unto God. The custom of the [ 26] Church (26) for Baptising young Children is both to be commended, and by all means to be retained in the Church.
