Name for the favour thy good hand has vouchsafed to shed abroad on this thy Servant who was in the most profound darkness of the shadows of Death when thou didst illuminate him causing to shine on him the saving and quickning Light of the Day Star from on high drawing him from a deplorable hardness to soften his heart and freeing him from the bands of Death to restore him to Life as Lord thou hast taken away the vail which was on his heart calling him to confess the only true God and him whom thou hast sent Jesus Christ and hast at this time inspired him with courage to make publick Confession of thy most Holy Faith and of the hope thou hast caused to spring in his Soul enabling him to present himself in thy sight to receive Holy Baptisme the Seal of thy Covenant pledge of the remission of sins and Symbole of our entrance into thy House by Spiritual Regeneration Look Lord more and more on him with the eye of thy favour forgiving all his sins sprinkling his Soul with the precious Blood of the Lamb without spot which taketh away the sins of the Woold and making him feel the powerful vertue of its propitiation let thy Spirit sanctifie and make him a new Creature to the end that dying to sin he may live unto Righteousness and laying aside the Old Man with its Lusts he may put on the New Man which is renewed in Righteousness and true Holiness And as we are about to pour on his head the water of thy Sacrament shed forth on him the Gifts and Graces of thy Holy Spirit receiving him into the number of thy Servants and honouring him with the Adoption of thy Children Enable him to offer unto thee during the whole course of his Life the Obedience and Religious Service which is due unto thee and for ever to persevere in thy Holy Covenant to the end that as now in thy Name we receive him into the Communion of thy Church Militant thou wilt vouchsafe one day to receive him into thy Church Triumphant and gather him for ever into the Assembly of the First born whose Names are written in Heaven Hear us O Father of all Mercies to the end the Baptisme we confer upon him according to thine Ordinance may produce its Fruit and Vertue as 't is revealed to us in thy Holy Gospel in thy Son our Saviour Jesus Christ who has commanded us to pray unto thee and say Our Father which art in Heaven c. Speaking to those who present the Catecuminy the Minister shall say to them Quest As you have been charitably imployed in the Teaching and Instructing our Brother and are Witnesses of the Baptisme he is to receive at this present by our Ministry Do you not promise in the presence of God and this Holy Assembly to continue more and more to strengthen him in the Faith and exhort him to good Works Answ Yes This being done speaking to the Catecumeny which waits kneeling to receive Baptisme powing the Water on his head the Minister shall say Having seen the Testimonies of your Faith N. I Baptise you in the Name of the Father of the Son and of the Holy Ghost Amen CONFORMITY There is nothing in all this formulary as large as it is which is not found in substance in what we have remaining of the Catechisms of the Antient Doctors of the Church and in what was practis'd towards those to whom Baptisme was to be conferr'd and because most part of those which converted themselves to the Christian Faith turn'd from Paganisme where they had learn'd to believe and serve several Gods the first step they were made go in the way of Salvation was to make them renounce this Diabolical Doctrine afterwards to believe and be throughly perswaded that there is but one True God which has made Heaven and Earth that supports all things by his Almighty Word who gives us our Life Being and Motion who never left himself without Witness and has manifested himself to Men not only by his Works but also by Revelation of his Will contained in the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament Tom. 1. pag. 93. The first act of Faith of the Catecumeny's saith St. Cyril of Alexandria in the third Book of Adoring in Spirit and Truth is to depart from the belief and opinion touching the plurality of Gods and to imbrace him who is the only true God by Nature Theodolphus Bishop of Orleans in a Treatise he made of the Order which is to be observ'd in the administration of Baptism establishes near hand the same practise when he writes in chap. 2. that the first instruction which is given to Catechumenies is that there is one true God to the end that leaving the worship of the creature they should Consecrate themselves to the Worship of God the Creator It 's true that when 't was a Jewish Proselite he was obliged before Baptisme to renounce particularly all legal Ceremonies to the Ancient Material and Typical Worship to the Jewish Washings and Purifications to their Feasts their New Moons and Sabbaths and generally to all that pertained to the Synagogue especially to the false Messias they yet expect and will never come Moreover they were to make open profession to believe in God the Father Son and Holy Ghost Holy Consubstantial and individual Trinity that they should admit of the Incarnation of the Eternal Word Jesus Christ our Saviour in confessing he is come into the World and that he is made Man but not ceasing to be God the Holy Virgin having brought him forth after the Flesh and by this means being become the Mother of God It is after this manner they proceeded with the Jewish Proselites Pag. 344. Par. 1647 as we find by a Catechism in the Ritual of the Greeks which in substance answers to what 's prescrib'd in our Discipline But if it was a Mahumetan that imbraced the Christian Religion the first thing that was requir'd of him was to Anathematise Mahomet his Sectators his Successors his lying Alcoran full of Impostures and Dreams especially in what regards our Saviour Jesus Christ in a Word all the impieties which depend of the Carnal Religion of this infamous Impostor of the East which being done this Proselite made this Declaration I now adhere to Jesus Christ the only true God I believe in the Father the Son and the holy Ghost holy indivisible and consubstantial Trinity I believe the Mistery of the Incarnation and the coming into the World of one of the holy Trinity that is of the Word and only begotten Son of God who was begotten of the Father before the World began by whom all things were made and I am perswaded he is true Man without being divested of his Divinity for he is true God and true Man without confusion without conversion and without alteration with two Natures in one sole Person I confess also he suffered all things voluntarily that he was crucified
