to confess the faith of Christ
crucified, and manfully to fight under his banner against sin, the
world, and the devil, and to continue Christ's faithful soldier
and servant unto _his_ life's end. Amen.

* _Here the Priest shall make a Cross upon the person's forehead_.

_Then shall the Priest say_,

Seeing now, dearly beloved brethren, that _these persons_ are
regenerate and grafted into the body of Christ's Church, let us
give thanks unto Almighty God for these benefits, and with one
accord make our prayers unto him, that _they_ may lead the rest
of _their_ life according to this beginning.

_Then shall be said the Lord's Prayer, all kneeling_.

Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name, Thy kingdom
come, Thy will be done, in earth as it is in heaven. Give us this
day our daily bread; And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive
them that trespass against us; And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil. Amen.

We yield thee humble thanks, O heavenly Father, that thou hast
vouchsafed to call us to the knowledge of thy grace and faith in
thee; Increase this knowledge, and confirm this faith in us
evermore. Give thy Holy Spirit to _these persons_, that, being now
born again, and made heirs of everlasting salvation, through our
Lord Jesus Christ, _they_ may continue thy servants, and attain thy
promises; through the same Lord Jesus Christ thy Son, who liveth
and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the same Holy Spirit,
everlastingly. _Amen_.

_Then, all standing up, the Priest shall use this exhortation
following; speaking to the Godfathers and Godmothers first_.

Forasmuch as _these persons_ have promised in your presence to
renounce the devil and all his works, to believe in God, and to
serve him: Ye must remember that it is your part and duty to put
_them_ in mind, what a solemn vow, promise, and profession _they_
have now made before this Congregation, and especially before you
their chosen witnesses. And ye are also to call upon _them_ to use
all diligence to be rightly instructed in God's holy Word; that so
_they_ may grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus
Christ, and live godly, righteously, and soberly in this present
world.

(_And then, speaking to the new baptized persons, he shall proceed,
and say_,)

And as for you, who have now by Baptism put on Christ, it is your
part and duty also, being made the _children_ of God and of the
light by faith in Jesus Chr
