Calvin: is he serious?

Whilst reading Calvin on baptism, he makes an interesting argument as to why re-baptism is wrong. Now, what I want to know is - is this his sense of humour coming through? Or has his teaching that baptism has continuity with circumcision, blinded him to a certain...well...ahem...biological fact? His reasoning is: we do not baptise a second time because OT Jews, even if originally processed by an unfaithful priest, were never required by God to later undergo a second or re-circumcision...

Err...
