How art thou admonished and assured in Baptism, that thou art Partaker of the only Sacrifice of Christ?
Because Christ commanded the outward washing of Water, adjoyning this Promise thereunto, that I am no less assuredly washed by his Blood and Spirit from the uncleanness of my Soul, that is, from all my Sins, than I am washed outwardly with Water, whereby all the Filthiness of the Body useth to be purged.
