Article I. Notice Concerning Baptism
Baptism shall be given to all those who have been taught repentance
and the amendment of life and [who] believe truly that their
sins are taken away through Christ, and to all those who desire
to walk in the resurrection of Jesus Christ and be buried with
Him in death, so that they might rise with Him; to all those
who with such an understanding themselves desire and request
it from us; hereby is excluded all infant baptism, the greatest
and first abomination of the pope. For this you have the reasons
and the testimony of the writings and the practice of the apostles.[46] We wish simply yet
resolutely and with assurance to hold to the same.
