ist, to walk answerably to your Christian
calling, and as becometh the children of light; remembering always,
that Baptism representeth unto us our profession; which is, to
follow the example of our Saviour Christ, and to be made like unto
him; that as he died and rose again for us, so should we, who are
baptized, die from sin and rise again unto righteousness, continually
mortifying all our evil and corrupt affections, and daily proceeding
in all virtue and godliness of living.

_It is expedient that every person, thus baptized, should be
confirmed by the Bishop so soon after his Baptism as conveniently
may be; that so he may be admitted to the holy Communion_.

_If any persons not baptized in their infancy shall be brought to
be baptized before they come to years of discretion to answer for
themselves; it may suffice to use the Office for Public Baptism of
Infants, or_ (_in case of extreme danger_) _the Office for Private
Baptism; only changing the word_ [Infant] _for_ [Child _or_ Person]
_as occasion requireth_.

commandments, and walk in the same all the days of my life.

_Question_. Dost thou not think that thou art bound to believe, and
to do, as they have promised for thee?

_Answer_. Yes verily: and by God's help so I will. And I heartily
