It is written (Ezekiel 36:25): "I\xa0will\xa0pour upon you\xa0clean\xa0water, and you shall be cleansed from all your filthiness."

I answer that,\xa0As the\xa0Apostle\xa0says (Romans 6:3), "all we, who are\xa0baptized\xa0in\xa0Christ Jesus, are\xa0baptized\xa0in His death." And further on he concludes (Romans 6:11): "So do you also reckon that you are dead to\xa0sin, but alive unto\xa0God\xa0in\xa0Christ Jesus\xa0our Lord." Hence it is clear that by\xa0Baptism\xa0man\xa0dies unto the oldness of\xa0sin, and begins to live unto the newness of\xa0grace. But every\xa0sin\xa0belongs to the primitive oldness. Consequently every\xa0sin\xa0is taken away by\xa0Baptism.

the\xa0Passion of Christ\xa0is communicated to every\xa0baptized\xa0person, so that he is healed just as if he himself had suffered and died. Now\xa0Christ's Passion\xa0. . .\xa0\xa0is a sufficient satisfaction for all the\xa0sins\xa0of all\xa0men. Consequently he who is\xa0baptized, is freed from the\xa0debt\xa0of all punishment due to him for his sins, just as if he himself had\xa0offered\xa0sufficient satisfaction for all his\xa0sins.

As\xa0Augustine\xa0says in the book on Infant\xa0Baptism\xa0(De Pecc. Merit. et Remiss. i) "the effect of\xa0Baptism\xa0is that the\xa0baptized\xa0are incorporated in\xa0Christ\xa0as His members." Now the fulness of\xa0grace\xa0and\xa0virtues\xa0flows from\xa0Christ\xa0theHead\xa0to all His members, according to\xa0John 1:16: "Of His fulness we all have received." Hence it is clear that\xa0man receives\xa0grace\xa0and\xa0virtues\xa0in\xa0Baptism.\xa0
