Moses' seat, etc. Matt. 23, 2. Both the Sacraments and Word
are effectual by reason of the institution and commandment of
Christ, notwithstanding they be administered by evil men.

They condemn the Donatists, and such like, who denied it to be
lawful to use the ministry of evil men in the Church, and who
thought the ministry of evil men to be unprofitable and of
none effect.



Article IX: Of Baptism.

Of Baptism they teach that it is necessary to salvation, and
that through Baptism is offered the grace of God, and that
children are to be baptized who, being offered to God through
Baptism are received into God's grace.

They condemn the Anabaptists, who reject the baptism of
children, and say that children are saved without Baptism.


Article X: Of the Lord's Supper.

Of the Supper of the Lord they teach that the Body and Blood
of Christ are truly present, and are distributed to those who
eat the Supper of the Lord; and they reject those that teach
otherwise.
