for which they are much to be condemn'd, because they violate the engagements they had before enter'd into:

thus baptism, which corresponds to the deluge, does now save us, not as it is a cleansing from external filth, but as it is an engagement to lead a divine life, from the belief of the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

again, if any one swear by the altar he is under no engagement but if he swear by the gift that is upon it, he is bound thereby.
