 2 Pref2|      Christ Himself instituted, Baptism~and the holy body and blood
 3 Pref2|         and sent them forth.~OF BAPTISM. ~Go ye and teach all nations,
 4 Pref2|       the Scriptures~concerning Baptism. In like manner, also, concerning
 5    3 |         Thyself. For as much as Baptism and the Lord's~Supper appointed
 6    4 |                 Part Fourth. OF BAPTISM. ~We have now finished the
 7    4 |         first place, we take up Baptism, by which~we are first received
 8    4 |       well the words upon~which Baptism is founded, and to which
 9    4 | institution, lest we doubt that Baptism is~divine, not devised nor
10    4 |        so also I~can boast that Baptism is no human trifle, but
11    4 |       importance that we esteem Baptism excellent, glorious, and~
12    4 |         of sects clamoring that Baptism is an external thing, and~
13    4 |          establish, and confirm Baptism. But what God institutes
14    4 |       seals, we ought to esteem Baptism much more highly~and more
15    4 |        regard this, and because Baptism does not shine~like the
16    4 |        answer the question what Baptism is, namely thus, that it
17    4 |         new spirits, to mock at Baptism, omit from it God's Word
18    4 |      the difference, then, that Baptism is quite another thing~than
19    4 |       more even, you must honor Baptism and esteem it~glorious on
20    4 |       be called a bath-keeper's baptism. But when it is~added, as
21    4 |          since we know now what Baptism is, and how it is~to be
22    4 |       profit, fruit, and end of Baptism is~this, namely, to save.
23    4 |       precious we should esteem Baptism,~because in it we obtain
24    4 |       such power is imparted to Baptism that it is a laver of~regeneration,
25    4 |         and believes that it is Baptism, in which there is~pure
26    4 |      else do they refer than to Baptism, that is, to~the water comprehended
27    4 |    follows that~whoever rejects Baptism rejects the Word of God,
28    4 |         thither and binds us to Baptism. ~In the third place since
29    4 |      great benefit and power of~Baptism, let us see further who
30    4 |       person that receives what~Baptism gives and profits. This
31    4 |      they are accustomed: Still Baptism is itself a~work, and you
32    4 |    avail nothing for~salvation; Baptism, however, is not our work,
33    4 |       away from a bath-keeper's~baptism). God's works, however,
34    4 |       you~have not yet received Baptism in such a manner that it
35    4 |         Christian has enough in Baptism to learn and to~practice
36    4 |        find access! But here in Baptism~there is brought free to
37    4 |     alive. ~Thus we must regard Baptism and make it profitable to
38    4 |    these two things are done in~Baptism namely, that the body, which
39    4 |     water and the Word, are one Baptism,~therefore body and soul
40    4 |        soul and also apprehends Baptism as it is able to apprehend~
41    4 |    nature, blessing, and use of Baptism,~for it answers the present

43    5 |      first (as we~did regarding Baptism) what is of the greatest
44    5 |          And as we have said of Baptism that it~is not simple water,
