Part II — Instruction for Those Preparing for Baptism
Baptism
Baptism
And about baptism, baptize this way. After you have said all these things first, baptize into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, in running water. If you do not have running water, baptize in other water; and if you cannot in cold, then in warm. If you have neither, pour water on the head three times, into the name of Father and Son and Holy Spirit. Before the baptism, let the one baptizing fast, and the one being baptized, and any others who can; and tell the one being baptized to fast a day or two beforehand.
