CHAPTER THIRTEEN. On baptism.

Thus far Old Testament sacraments; there follow those of the New, divinely instituted for the Christian people, which through an earthly thing exhibit at once a heavenly thing, that they may seal and confer Gospel grace on believers.

II. New Testament sacraments are two: BAPTISM and the LORD'S SUPPER. Baptism is the sacrament by which a human washed with water in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit is received into the covenant of grace, sealed with remission of sins, regeneration, and adoption (Matt. 28:19; Acts 2:38; Tit. 3:5).

Latin

CAPUT DECIMUM TERTIUM, De baptismo. Atque haec de sacramentis V.T.: sequuntur N.T. quae pro populo Christiano divinitus instituta per rem terrenam exhibent simul rem coelestem, ut credentibus gratiam Euangelii obsignent & conferant. II. Sacramenta N.T. sunt duo: BAPTISMUS & COENA DOMINI. Baptismus est sacramentum quo homo aqua in nomine Patris & Filii & Spiritus Sancti ablutus in foedus gratiae recipitur, peccatorum remissione, regeneratione & adoptione obsignatus (Matth. 28:19; Acts 2:38; Tit. 3:5).
