Because Christ hath commanded the outward washing with water q Math 28. 19. with this promise that I am so certainly washed by his bloud and spirit from all vncleanenesse of sinne r 1 Cor 12. 13 as I am outwardly washed with water by which the filthinesse bodily is clensed Q.

God speaketh this not onely to teach vs that as the filth bodily is cleansed by water so our soules are by the bloud and Spirit of Christ but also to assure vs by this diuine pledge that we are as verilie washed from our sins inwardlie as wee are outwardly by water y 1 Pet 3 21. Q. Are infants also to be baptised A. Yea for fithence they belong to the couenant of grace z Gen. 17. 7. and church of God a Phil 2. and sith remission of sinnes is promised also to them b Gen 17 7. they are to haue the seale thereof c Rom 4 11. and to be distinguished from the children of Infidels d 1 Cor 7. 14. as in the old Testament was done by circumcision e Col 2 11 12 to which Baptisme hath succéeded f Col 2. 11. 12 Of the holy Supper Q. How art thou in the holy Supper admonished and warranted that thou art partaker of Christ crucified with all his benefits A. Because Christ hath commaunded me to eate of this bread broken and to drinke of this cupp g Luk 22 19. with promise that so certainely as I behold this with my eies so was his body broken and bloud shed for me h 1 Cor 11. 24. 25.

What is it to eate the body of Christ crucified and to drinke his bloud that was shed A. It is not onlie to embrace with sure confidence the whole passion of k Gal 3. 27.

Q. Are then the bread wine made the very body and bloud of Christ A. No verilie but as the water of Baptisme is not turned into the bloud 1 Cor 11. 26. 27. 28. of Christ so the bread and wine of the holy Supper are not the naturall substance of Christs bodie and bloud but the signes and pledges onlie k Rom 4. 11. Q. Why doth Christ then call the bread his body and the cuppe his bloud and Paul calleth the bread and wine the Communion of the body and bloud of Christ A. Christ speaketh this to assure vs that through the holie ghost wee do as verilie pertake his bodie and bloud as we bodiliwise receiue into vs the signes thereof l 1 Cor 10 3. 4.
