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

if_o they_o do_v then_o be_v the_o child_n not_o christen_v and_o therefore_o it_o must_v be_v but_o one_o person_n that_o must_v both_o say_v the_o word_n without_o any_o long_a interruption_n or_o pause_n and_o pour_v on_o the_o water_n twelve_o and_o where_o as_o the_o water_n of_o baptism_n have_v be_v use_v ever_o since_o the_o time_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o chryste_n church_n to_o be_v

clean_o yet_o in_o the_o time_n of_o need_n and_o of_o sudden_a danger_n when_o such_o hallow_v water_n can_v not_o be_v have_v other_o clean_a and_o common_a water_n will_v suffice_v furthermore_o 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 fullness_n of_o all_o grace_n to_o be_v in_o he_o and_o all_o grace_n to_o proceed_v from_o he_o even_o so_o we_o be_v teach_v that_o always_o when_o this_o sacrament_n be_v du_o receyve_v and_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 as_o he_o command_v they_o shall_v be_v bring_v to_o he_o x._o and_o rebuke_v they_o that_o forbid_v theym_a to_o be_v bring_v and_o promise_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n to_o the_o only_a follower_n of_o thinnocencye_n of_o child_n who_o he_o embrace_v and_o lay_v his_o hand_n upon_o theym_n you_o must_v procure_v with_o all_o your_o diligence_n to_o have_v your_o child_n bring_v to_o baptysme_n and_o to_o receyve_v the_o sacrament_n of_o faith_n whereby_o they_o be_v set_v in_o the_o state_n of_o salvation_n and_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o chryste_n meryte_n let_v not_o your_o child_n for_o your_o negligence_n accuse_v you_o in_o the_o last_o day_n for_o the_o loss_n of_o their_o salvation_n which_o they_o may_v have_v have_v by_o baptism_n if_o you_o have_v show_v your_o full_a

although_o the_o true_a sacrament_n of_o christ_n may_v be_v minister_v and_o receive_v out_o of_o the_o catholic_a church_n among_o heretic_n and_o schismatics_n yet_o they_o can_v not_o be_v

the_o holy_a sacrament_n of_o baptism_n be_v the_o first_o gate_n or_o entrye_n into_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o ground_n of_o all_o the_o other_o sacrament_n which_o can_v not_o be_v

of_o it_o and_o what_o fruit_n you_o receyve_v by_o it_o first_o it_o be_v to_o be_v know_v that_o our_o saviour_n christ_n do_v institute_v and_o ordain_v this_o sacrament_n when_o after_o his_o resurrection_n appear_v to_o his_o disciple_n he_o say_v to_o they_o all_o power_n in_o heaven_n and_o in_o earth_n be_v give_v unto_o i_o xxviii_o go_v you_o therefore_o and_o teach_v all_o nation_n and_o people_n baptise_v they_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n and_o of_o the_o son_n and_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o teach_v they_o to_o keep_v and_o observe_v all_o thing_n which_o i_o have_v command_v you_o and_o i_o be_o with_o you_o always_o to_o the_o world_n end_n by_o which_o word_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n we_o learn_v that_o power_n be_v give_v only_o to_o he_o to_o institute_v and_o ordain_v sacrament_n which_o the_o church_n receyve_v of_o he_o and_o of_o his_o spirit_n do_v faithful_o delyver_v unto_o we_o to_o be_v observe_v and_o use_v and_o also_o we_o learn_v that_o the_o form_n and_o manner_n of_o baptise_v be_v to_o do_v as_o he_o command_v and_o in_o so_o do_v to_o say_v these_o word_n i_o baptise_v the_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n and_o of_o the_o son_n and_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o we_o learn_v also_o that_o christ_n do_v by_o his_o promise_n assist_v the_o do_v of_o his_o minister_n and_o woork_v the_o same_o effect_n by_o baptism_n when_o it_o be_v due_o minister_v of_o a_o man_n as_o if_o he_o do_v minister_v it_o himself_o and_o last_o of_o all_o we_o learn_v that_o baptism_n be_v not_o a_o idle_a ceremony_n but_o that_o everye_o person_n which_o be_v baptize_v and_o be_v of_o age_n and_o discretion_n ought_v to_o be_v teach_v before_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n and_o to_o believe_v the_o same_o and_o than_o after_o baptism_n ought_v diligent_o to_o observe_v and_o keep_v all_o thing_n which_o christ_n have_v command_v and_o if_o they_o that_o be_v baptize_v be_v infant_n or_o other_o wise_n can_v not_o believe_v themselves_o lack_v the_o use_n of_o their_o reason_n nineteeen_o sing_v our_o saviour_n christ_n say_v that_o child_n perteyne_a to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o the_o door_n into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v baptism_n at_o which_o door_n no_o person_n can_v enter_v in_o ordinary_o but_o such_o as_o be_v bear_v again_o of_o the_o water_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n therefore_o such_o be_v offer_v to_o be_v baptize_v in_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o church_n and_o in_o receyve_v baptism_n they_o be_v make_v faithful_a by_o the_o sacrament_n of_o faith_n but_o of_o this_o thing_n i_o shall_v god_n willing_a speak_v more_o a_o other_o tyme._n secondarilye_o it_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v that_o baptism_n ought_v to_o be_v minister_v in_o water_n as_o christ_n have_v ordain_v and_o in_o no_o other_o liquour_n and_o that_o be_v because_o baptism_n be_v a_o sacrament_n of_o necessity_n and_o water_n be_v a_o common_a element_n throughout_o the_o whole_a

for_o lack_v of_o baptism_n and_o also_o it_o be_v ordain_v to_o be_v in_o water_n for_o sygnification_n of_o theffect_n that_o man_n may_v learn_v in_o this_o sacrament_n as_o they_o do_v in_o all_o
