Almighty everliving God, whose most dearly beloved Son Jesus

to his disciples, that they should go teach all nations, and
baptize them in the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost:
Regard, we beseech thee, the supplications of this Congregation;
sanctify this Water to the mystical washing away of sin; and grant
that the persons now to be baptized therein may receive the fulness
of thy grace, and ever remain in the number of thy faithful and
elect children; through Jesus Christ our Lord. _Amen_.

Name; and then shall dip him in the water, or pour water upon him,
saying_,

_N_. I baptize thee, In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and
of the Holy Ghost. Amen.

_Then shall the Priest say_,

We receive this person into the Congregation of Christ's flock;
and * do sign _him_ with the sign of the Cross, in token that
hereafter _he_ shall not be ashamed
