"I understand it (baptism) to be a figure, but still so that the reality is annexed to it; for God does not disappoint us when he promises us his gifts. Accordingly, it is certain that both pardon of sins and newness of life are offered to us in baptism, and received by us." "It is not necessary that faith and repentance should always precede baptism. They are only required from those whose age makes them capable of both.
