To this end is the Sacrament of Holy Baptism ordained
that the church may give welcome and blessing to each
soul which comes to this world of pilgrimage, and that
the soul may dwell in a body purified from the taint
of evil, sanctified for service of our eternal nature.
Therefore, brethren and sisters, I pray you to join with
me in this baptism, whereby this (soul . . . . )
shall be made partaker of heavenly gifts

your Selves then …..you will be aware that you are
