The Ministration of Publick Baptism of Infants, To be Used in the Church

Dearly beloved, forasmuch as all men are conceived and born in sin:¹ and that our Saviour Christ says, None can enter into the kingdom of God, except he be regenerate and born anew of Water and of the Holy Ghost:²

I beseech you to call upon God the Father, through our Lord Jesus Christ, that of his bounteous mercy he will grant to this Child that thing which by nature he cannot have;³

that he may be baptized with Water and the Holy Ghost, and received into Christ's holy Church, and be made a lively member of the same.⁴
