such_o a_o small_a number_n as_o it_o be_v in_o other_o for_o of_o the_o other_o sacrament_n the_o minister_n ought_v at_o least_o to_o be_v a_o priest_n save_v in_o matrimony_n which_o the_o two_o party_n may_v contract_v between_o themselves_o but_o in_o baptism_n the_o ministration_n be_v not_o only_o reserve_v to_o priest_n and_o to_o deacons_n in_o the_o absence_n of_o the_o pryeste_n but_o be_v also_o permit_v to_o lay_v man_n and_o lay_v woman_n that_o be_v faithful_a themselves_o if_o extreme_a necessity_n so_o require_v and_o if_o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n nor_o danger_n of_o the_o death_n of_o the_o child_n lvii_o and_o yet_o lay_v person_n do_v take_v upon_o they_o to_o minyster_v this_o sacrament_n which_o pertain_v not_o to_o they_o to_o do_v but_o in_o time_n of_o need_n although_o they_o themselves_o do_v sin_n in_o that_o do_n for_o their_o presumption_n where_o need_n compel_v not_o yet_o the_o child_n be_v truelye_o baptize_v and_o may_v not_o in_o any_o wise_a be_v baptize_v again_o and_o because_o it_o often_o chance_v that_o child_n new_o bear_v be_v in_o danger_n of_o death_n and_o so_o be_v baptize_v of_o the_o mydwyves_n or_o of_o other_o

for_o the_o child_n that_o be_v not_o bear_v but_o yet_o in_o his_o moother_n womb_n can_v not_o be_v bear_v again_o by_o baptism_n till_o he_o be_v once_o bear_v if_o there_o come_v a_o chance_n or_o danger_n that_o u●rely_o they_o think_v it_o will_v not_o live_v till_o it_o be_v bring_v to_o the_o solennization_n of_o baptism_n than_o a_o lie_v man_n or_o lie_v woman_n in_o that_o need_n go_v about_o to_o baptise_v the_o child_n must_v unfeyned_o intend_v to_o do_v therein_o that_o the_o catholyke_a church_n of_o christ_n do_v and_o take_v some_o honest_a name_n as_o john_n or_o thomas_n or_o some_o other_o if_o it_o be_v a_o man_n child_n and_o if_o it_o be_v a_o woman_n child_n then_o take_v jone_n or_o katherine_n or_o such_o like_a let_v the_o person_n that_o shall_v christen_v

like_v as_o the_o holy_a ghost_n come_v down_o from_o heaven_n in_o the_o baptism_n of_o christ_n i._o when_o he_o be_v baptyse_v by_o john_n and_o visiblye_o rest_v upon_o chryste_n declare_v the_o

minister_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o holy_a trinity_n the_o holy_a ghost_n descend_v from_o above_o and_o do_v invisiblye_o rest_n upon_o he_o that_o be_v baptyse_v and_o woork_v specyall_a grace_n in_o his_o heart_n to_o obey_v god_n and_o his_o commandment_n and_o as_o the_o father_n of_o heaven_n by_o his_o voice_n which_o he_o send_v from_o heaven_n testyfy_v that_o christ_n be_v his_o wellbeloved_a son_n in_o who_o he_o be_v well_o please_v so_o our_o heavenlye_a father_n in_o this_o sacrament_n testify_v to_o his_o conscience_n that_o be_v baptyse_v that_o he_o be_v his_o love_a child_n and_o that_o nothing_o be_v in_o he_o that_o be_v dyspleasinge_a to_o god_n wherefore_o good_a people_n consider_v that_o this_o sacrament_n of_o baptysme_n be_v of_o such_o necessity_n that_o no_o child_n except_o the_o case_n of_o martyrdom_n can_v be_v save_v and_o enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n but_o by_o it_o because_o everye_o one_o be_v bear_v in_o orygynall_a sin_n and_o so_o the_o child_n of_o god_n anger_n by_o his_o natyvitye_n can_v not_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o promise_n of_o saluatyon_n and_o have_v the_o meryte_n of_o chryste_n passion_n apply_v to_o he_o but_o either_o by_o his_o proper_a faith_n or_o else_o by_o the_o sacrament_n of_o faith_n and_o sing_v that_o young_a infant_n have_v not_o the_o use_n of_o their_o reason_n and_o will_n whereby_o they_o may_v understande_v the_o doctrine_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o so_o believe_v theym selue_o in_o their_o own_o person_n therefore_o if_o you_o will_v have_v your_o child_n come_v to_o christ_n
