Two branches in this exception.* 1.1 The first of these against such as thinke God worketh not at all by his holy spirit in children baptized. The Catechisme not meaning that they haue au actuall faith, namely a féeling that they doe then beléeue, for so they doe not, that they liue, yet they doe liue. But they beléeue (that is) they haue the spirit of faith and repentance. As for the second branch namely that they performe faith and re∣pentance by their sureties, is to be vnderstood of that present pro∣fession and promise then made, whereby the God-children are bound, as effectually in baptisme, as if themselues were then pre∣sently able, and did actually beléeue: Luther disputing of this point. Here I say as all else doe that children are succoured by the faith of others, that offer them to Baptisme, &c. Againe afterwards. As the word of God is mightie, when it soundeth, able to change euen the hart of a wicked man, which is no lesse deafe and vncapable then any childe, so by the prayer of the Church offring the childe in baptisme, the little one is clen∣fed, changed, and renued by faith infused into it. But for answere to the doubts herein looke the first part, cap. 30. pag. 173. &c.
