We say that the person to be Baptised ought to be a a Christian: by which name we vnderstand not onely men of yeares, lately conuerted to the Christiā faith, but also young b infants the children of Chri∣stian parents: whereby may appeare that the speach of the common people is erro∣neous, when as desiring Baptisme of the
Pastour of the Church for their infants, they say, God hath giuen me a child, I pray you make it a Christian soule. For Baptisme doth not make a Christian, but signifieth and marketh vs for Christians.
