Almighty everliving God, whose most dearly beloved Son Jesus Christ, for the forgiveness of our sins, did shed out of his most precious side both water and blood; and gave commandment to his disciples, that they should go teach all nations, and baptize them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Regard, we beseech thee, the supplications of thy Congregation; sanctify this Water to the mystical washing away of sin; and grant that _this Child_, now to be baptized therein, may receive the fulness of thy grace, and ever remain in the number of thy faithful and elect children; through Jesus Christ our Lord. _Amen_. _Then the Priest shall take the Child into his hands, and shall say to the Godfathers and Godmothers_, Name this Child. _And then naming it after them_ (_if they shall certify him that the Child may well endure it_) _he shall dip it in the Water discreetly and warily, saying_, _N_. I baptize thee in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen. _But if they certify that the Child is weak, it shall suffice to pour Water upon it, saying the foresaid words_, _N_. I Baptize thee in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen. _Then the Priest shall say_, We receive this Child into the Congregation Of Christ's flock, * and do sign him with the sign of the Cross, in token that hereafter _he_ shall not be ashamed 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. [Margin Note:] * _Here the Priest shall make a Cross upon the Child's forehead_. _Then shall the Priest say_, Seeing now, dearly beloved brethren, that _this Child_ is 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 _this Child_ may lead the rest of _his_ life according to this beginning. _Then shall be said, 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. _Then shall the Priest say_,
