ƲƲhat is the word in Baptisme?
The word of the Gospell, the summe whereof Christs institu∣tion conteineth, beeing conioyned with the promise of eternall life, being in these words, Baptize yee in the name of the Father, the sonne, and the holie Ghost, whosoeuer beleeueth, & is baptized, shall be saued. Mat. 28.19.
And the pronunciation of this forme, plainely and clearely in our natiue speach, that all may vnderstand it, I Baptize thee in the name (or into the name) of the father, and of the sonne, and of the Holie Ghost; which words in the Schooles are called the forme of baptisme; But wee had rather call them the forme of words:
descriptionPage 708
therefore Dydimus saith, that Baptisme is vnperfect if any of th•• three persons bee omitted.
For whereas in the Act. cap. 2.38. wee read that the Apostles baptized in the name, or into the name of the Lord & of Christ, it is either spoken by Synecdoche (as Ambrose thinketh) and is of the same sence with the aforesaid forme, because the father is in Christ, & the holy Ghost also, & whosoeuer beleeueth in the Son, beleeueth likewise in the father, & in the holy Ghosta; or in the name of Christ, that is, through the name & commaundement of Christ, that is, as he had appointed and ordained, as name is of∣ten taken for commaundement, or the terme to which, that is the end and scope, and effect of baptisme is signified, but not the forme of Baptizing: so that the meaning is, that he had bapti∣zed them into the name and profession, or euen into the death of Christ, and to haue incorporated them into Christ by bap∣tisme, and to haue consecrated, and sealed them Christians vnto him, as their Mediator, but with the accustomed forme of baptisme.
