The Dordrecht
Confession of Faith, 1632
XI. Of the Washing of the Saints' Feet
We also confess a washing of
the saints' feet, as the Lord Christ not only instituted, enjoined
and commanded it, but Himself, although He was their Lord and
Master, washed His apostles' feet, thereby giving an example
that they should likewise wash one another's feet, and do as
He had done unto them; which they accordingly, from this time
on, taught believers to observe, as a sign of true humility,
and, especially, to remember by this feet washing, the true washing,
whereby we are washed through His precious blood, and made pure
after the soul. John 13:4-17; I Tim. 5:10.
