Then shall the Priest demand of each perfon to be baptized feverally, looking towards the West,

DOST thou renounce the devil and all his works, the vain pomp and glory of the world, with all the covetous defires of the fame, and the carnal defires of the flesh, so that thou wilt not follow them nor be led by them?

Then the person to be baptized shall stretch out his or her hands, and fay aloud,

I renounce them all.

Then the person to be baptized shall turn to the Eaft, and the Priest shall proceed thus.

Doft thou afsociate thy felf to Christ, and enter into covenant with him?

And the person to be baptized lifting up his or her hands and eyes towards heaven, shall anfwer,

Pr. Dost thou believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth?

And in Jesus Christ his only-begotten Son our Lord? And that he was conceived by the Holy Ghoft; born of the Virgin Mary; that he suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; that he went down into Hades, and alfo did rife again the third day; that he afcended into heaven, and fitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; and from thence shall come again at the end of the world to judge the quick and the

dead?

And

And dost thou believe in the Holy Ghost; The Holy Catholick Church; The Communion of Sants; The remiffion of fins; The refurrection of the fleth; And everlasting life after death?

And the person to be baptized lifting up his or her hands and eyes towards heaven, shall anfwer,

All this I stedfastly believe.

Pr. Wilt thou be baptized in this faith?

And the Person to be baptized bowing shall anfwer, That is my defire.

Pr. Wilt thou then obediently keep God's holy will and commandments, and walk in the fame all the days of thy life?

And the Perfon to be baptized lifting up his or her hands and eyes towards heaven, shall answer,

I will.

Then the Priest asking the Sponsor the name, shall anoint each person to be baptized feparately with the Holy Oil, making the sign of the Cross upon his or her forehead, breast, and the palms of the hands, Saying: (the person to be baptized kneeling)

N. the servant of God is anointed with Holy Oil, and signed with the fign of the Cross, in token that hereafter he may not be ashamed to confefs the faith of Christ crucified, but may have courage and strength to fight manfully under his banner against fin, the world, and the devil, and to continue Christ's faithful foldier and servant unto his life's end. Amen.

Then

Then shall the Priest fay,

Merciful God, grant that the old Adam in these perfons may be so buried, that the new man

may be raised up in them. Amen.

Then shall the Priest confecrate the Water, Saying,

W

E bless thee, we glorify thee, O Lord God Almighty, the Father of the only-begotten God; we give thee thanks for that thou hast sent thy Son to be made Man for us and for our falvation, and for that he vouchsafed during his incarnation to be obedient in all things, to preach the kingdom of heaven, the remiffion of fins, and the resurrection of the dead. We also adore thee, O thou only-begotten God the Son, and give thanks to thee, and through thee to the Father, for that thou didst submit to fuffer death upon the cross for all men, appointing the baptifm of regeneration as the type or symbol thereof. We farther praise thee, O God, thou Lord of the universe, through the name of Christ, in the Holy Ghost, for that thou didst not utterly caft off mankind, but at different seasons didst exercise different dispensations of thy providence over them. At

At first thou gavest to Adam in Paradise that Paradife for an habitation of pleasure, and on account of thy providence didst lay a command upon him; which when he had tranfgreffed, thou didst justly expel him; yet in thy goodness thou didst not abandon and reject him, but didst instruct and chastise his posterity in various manners, and at last didst send thy Son to be made Man for the fake of men, and to take upon him all the paffions of human nature, fin only excepted. Do thou therefore, O Lord God, look down from heaven, and sanctify Here the Prieft is to make the fign of the cross over the water this Water; give it grace and power, that they whơ are to be baptized therein, according to the command of thy Christ, may be crucified with him and die with him, may be buried with him, and rife again with him to the adoption which cometh by him, that so they may die unto fin and live unto righteousness, through Jesus Christ our Lord; by whom and with whom, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, all honour and glory be unto thee, O Father Almighty, world without end. Amen.

Then the Priest shall withdraw, and the perfons to be baptized shall be decently put into the water by one or more Deacons or Deaconesses. After which the Priest shall come, and shall dip each person in the water three times, once at the distinct name of each Person of the Blessed Trinity, Jaying:

N. the servant of God is baptized In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.

Then

Then shall the Prieft withdraw again, and the perfons baptized shall be decently taken out of the water by one or more Deacons or Deaconesses, and with their assistance shall put on their white garments, and the Priest shall draw near and say to them ftanding,

TAKE these white garments for a token of the

innocency, which by God's grace is given you, in the holy mystery of baptifm, and for a fign whereby ye are admonished so long as ye live, to give your felves to innocence of living: And may ye bring them forth without spot before the tribunal of our Lord Jesus Christ, and be partakers of the rewards of holiness and purity in the life everlasting. Amen.

Then shall each person's Sponsor give him or her the kiss of peace, and the Priest shall give them a little of the confecrated Milk and Honey, and shall fay,

E ye admitted into the congregation of Christ's

Milk and Honey in token of your spiritual infancy, and of your entrance into the true land of promife, the church; and may ye at the last day enter into the land of eternal rest, the kingdom of heaven, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
