And Iesus saieth vnto him Verily I say vnto thee that this day euen in this night before the cocke crowe twise thou shalt deny me three times But hee spake more vehemently No if I should die with thee I wil not deny thee Likewise also sayd they all And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane he said to his disciples Sit ye here while I goe aside pray And he taketh with him Peter Iames and Iohn and began to ware abashed to be in an agonie and sayd vnto them My soule heauie euen vnto the death tary yee here and watch And he went foorth a little and fel downe flat on the ground and praied that if it were possible the houre might passe from him And he sayd Abba Father al things are possible vnto thee take away this cup from me neuerthelesse not as I will but that thou wilt be done And he came and found them sleeping and faieth to Peter Simon sleepest thouâ— Couldest not thou watch one houre Watch ye and pray least ye enter into temptation the spirite truely is ready but the flesh is weake And againe hee went aside and praied and spake the same words And hee returned and found them asleepe againe for their eyes were heauie neither wist they what to answere him And he came the third time and sayd to them Sleepe hencefoorth and take your ease it is ynough The houre is come behold the sonne of man is betraied into the hands of sinners Rise vp let vs goe loe he that betrayeth me is at hand And immediatly while he yet spake commeth Iudas which was one of the twelue and with him a great number of people with swords and staues from the high Priests and Scribes and Elders And he that betrayed him had giuen them a generall token saying Whomsoeuer I doe kisse the same is he take and leade him away warily And assoone as he was come hee goeth straight way to him and sayth vnto him Master Master and kissed him And they layd their hands on him and tooke him And one of them that stoode by drew out a sword and smote a seruant of the high Priestes and cut off his eare And Iesus answered and sayd vnto them Yee bee come out
beloued forasmuch as all men bee conceiued borne in sinne and that our Sauiour Christ faith None can enter into the kingdome of God except hee bee regenerate and borne anew of water and of thr holy Ghost I beseech you to call vpon God the Father through our Lord Iesus Christ that of his vounteous mercie hee will graunt to these children that thing which by nature they cannot haue that they may bee baptized with water and the holy Ghost and reciued into Christes holy Church and be made liuely members of the same Then shall the Priest say Let vs pray ALmightie and euerlasting God which of thy great mercy diddest faue Noe and his family in the Arke from perishing by water and also diddest safly leade the children of Israel thy people through the red sea figuring thereby thy holy baptisme by the baptisme of thy welbeloued sonne Iesus Crist diddest sanctifie the flood Iordan all other waters to the mysticall washing away of fsainne we beseech thee for thine infinite mercies that thou wilt mercifully looke vpon these children sanctifie them and wash them with the holy Ghost that they being deliuered from thy wrath may be receiued into the Arke of Christs Church and being stedfast in faith ioyfull through hope and rooted in charitie may so passe the waues of this troublesome world that finally they may come to the land of eueriasting life there to raigne with thee world without ende through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen ALmightie and immortall God the aid of all that need the helper of all that slee to thee for succour the life of them that beleeue and the resurrectiō of the dead we call Vpon thee for these insants that thay comming to thy holy Baptisme may receiue remission of their sinnes by spirituall regeneration Receiue them O Lord as thou hast promised by thy melbeloued sonne saying Aske and you shall haue seeke and you shall finde knocke and it shall be opened vnto you So giue now vnto vs that aske let vs that seeke finde open the gate vnto vs that knocke that these infantes may enioy the euerlasting benediction of thy heauenly washing and may come to the eternall kingdome which thou hast promised by Christ our Lord. Amen Then shall the Priest say Heare the words of the Gospel written by S. Marke in the tenth Chapter AT a certaine time they brought children to Christ that he should touch them and his disciples rebuked those that bought them But when Iesus saw it hee was displeased and said vnto them Suffer little children to come vnto mee and forbid them not for to such belongeth the kingdome of God Verely I say vnto you whosoeuer doth not receiue the kingdome of God as a little childe hee shall not enter therein And when hee had taken them vp in his armes hee put his hands vpon them and blessed them After the Gospel is read the Minister shall make this briefe exhortation vpon the words of the Gospel FRiends you heare in this Gospel the words of our Sauiour Christ that hee commanded the children to be brought vnto him how hee blamed those that woulde haue kept them from him how he exhorteth all men to follow their innocencie You perceiue howe by his outward gestuce and deede he declare his good will toward them for he imbraced them in his armes he laid his handes vpon them and blessed them Doubt ye not therefore but earnestly beleeue that he will like wise fauourably receiue these Present infants that he will imbrace them with the armes of his mercy that he will giue vnto them the blessing of eternall life and make them partakers of his euerlasting kingdome Wherefore we being thus perswaded of the good will of our heauenly Father toward these infants declared by his sonne Iesus Christ and nothing doubting but that he fauourably alloweth this charitable worke of ours in bringing the children to his holy baptisme let vs faithfully and deuoutly giue thankes vnto him and say ALmightie and euerlasting God heauenly Father wee giue thee humble thankes that thou hast vouchsafed to call vs to the knowledge of thy grace and faith in thee Encrease this knowledge and confirme this faith in vs euermore Giue thy holy spirit to these infants that they may bee borne againe and be made heires of euerlasting saluation through our Lord Iesus Christ who liueth and reigneth with thee and the holy spirit now and for euer Amen Then the Priest shall speake vnto the Godfathers and Godmothers on this wise WElbeloued friends ye haue brought these children here to be baptized ye haue prayed that our Lord Iesus Christ would vouchsafe to receiue them to lay his handes vpon them to blesse them to release them of their sinnes to giue them the kingdome of heauen and euerlasting life Ye haue hear also that our Lord Iesus Christ hath promised in his Gospel to grant all these things that ye haue prayed for which promise he for his part will most sarely keepe and performe Wherefore after this promise made by Christ these infants must also faithfully for their part promise by you that be their sureties that they will forsake the deuill and all his workes and constantly be leeue Gods holy word and obediently keepe his commandements Then shall the Priest demaund of the Godfathers and Godmothers these questions following Doest thou forsake the deuill and all his works the vaine pompe and glory of the world with al eouetous desires of the same the carnall desires of the flesh so that thou wilt not folow nor be led by them Answere I forsake them all Minister Doest thou beleeue in God the Father almightie maker of heauen and earth And in Iesus Christ his onely begotten Sonne our Lord And that hee was conceiued by the holy Ghost borne of the virgin Mary that he susstreb vnder Pontius Pilate was crucified dead buried that he went downe into hell and also did rise againe the third day that he afrended into heauen and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father almightie and from thence shall come againe at the end of the world to iudge the quicke and the dead And doest thou beleeue in the holy Ghost the holy Catholique Church the communion of Saintes the remission of sinnes the resurrection of the flesh and euerlasting life after death Answere All this I stedfastly beleeue Minister wilt thou be baptized in this faith Answere That is my desire Then shall the Priest say O Mercifull God graunt that the old Adam in these children may be so buried that the new man may be raised vp in them Amen Graunt that all carnall affections may dye in them and that all things belonging to the spirit may liue and grow in them Amen Grant that they may haue power and strength to haue victorie and to triumph against the deuil the world and the flesh Amen Grant that whosoeuer is here dedicated to thee by our office and ministerie may also bee indued with heauenly vertues
exhort you in the name of God to remember the profession which you made vnto God in your baptisme And forasmuch as after this life there is a count to be giuen vnto the righteous Iudge of whom all must bee iudged without respect of persons I require you to examine your selfe and your state both toward God and man so that accusing and condemning your selfe for your own faults you may finde mercy at our heauenly Fathers hand for Christes sake and not to bee accused and condemned in that fearefull iudgement Therefore I shall shortly rehearse the Articles of our faith that you may know whether you doe beleeue as a Christian man should or no.
