the_o people_n to_o be_v see_v it_o be_v meet_v that_o they_o shall_v do_v it_o in_o house_n which_o otherwise_o they_o will_v have_v do_v in_o open_a place_n and_o then_o those_o house_n which_o receive_v the_o congregation_n be_v not_o as_o i_o have_v show_v for_o the_o time_n to_o be_v count_v private_a house_n and_o further_o in_o place_n where_o the_o gospel_n have_v not_o be_v receive_v nor_o no_o church_n gather_v but_o one_o only_a household_n embrace_v the_o gospel_n i_o say_v in_o such_o a_o case_n and_o especial_o in_o the_o time_n of_o persecution_n where_o shall_v the_o minister_n preach_v or_o minister_v the_o sacrament_n more_o convenient_o then_z in_o that_o house_n where_o those_o professor_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v now_o to_o draw_v this_o into_o our_o church_n which_o may_v safe_o come_v into_o open_a place_n and_o where_o the_o church_n and_o congregation_n stand_v of_o divers_a household_n be_v a_o token_n of_o great_a want_n of_o judgement_n in_o shuffel_v those_o thing_n together_o which_o for_o the_o great_a diversity_n of_o their_o nature_n will_v not_o be_v mingle_v and_o in_o the_o page_n 152._o he_o bring_v other_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o the_o sacrament_n may_v be_v minister_v in_o a_o private_a house_n whereof_o the_o first_o be_v that_z our_o saviour_n christ_n celebrate_v his_o supper_n in_o a_o private_a house_n and_o in_o a_o inner_a parlour_n the_o reason_n whereof_o be_v easy_o to_o be_v know_v for_o the_o law_n of_o god_n ordain_v that_o every_o householder_n in_o his_o house_n shall_v eat_v the_o passover_n with_o his_o own_o family_n if_o it_o be_v so_o great_a as_z that_o they_o may_v well_o eat_v up_o a_o whole_a lamb_n our_o saviour_n christ_n therefore_o with_o his_o household_n observe_v this_o law_n and_o for_o because_o he_o will_v declare_v that_o the_o passover_n have_v his_o end_n and_o that_o his_o holy_a sacrament_n of_o the_o supper_n shall_v come_v in_o place_n thereof_o he_o do_v forthwith_o celebrate_v it_o in_o the_o same_o place_n which_o if_o he_o have_v not_o do_v neither_o can_v he_o have_v do_v it_o at_o all_o the_o hour_n of_o his_o apprehension_n then_o approach_v neither_o shall_v it_o so_o lively_o have_v appear_v that_o either_o the_o passover_n be_v abolish_v or_o that_o the_o supper_n come_v in_o place_n of_o it_o be_v celebrate_v both_o at_o a_o other_o time_n &_o in_o a_o other_o place_n for_o the_o celebrate_n of_o the_o supper_n in_o house_n in_o the_o apostle_n time_n and_o in_o justins_n and_o tertullia_n time_n which_o be_v time_n of_o persecution_n i_o have_v speak_v before_o where_o also_o i_o declare_v that_o such_o house_n for_o the_o time_n be_v not_o private_a but_o public_a and_o these_o be_v his_o reason_n wherewith_o he_o will_v prove_v that_o the_o sacrament_n and_o therefore_o also_o the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n may_v be_v minister_v in_o a_o private_a house_n he_o have_v certain_a other_o to_o prove_v that_o woman_n may_v baptise_v whereof_o the_o first_o be_v in_o the._n 93._o page_n and_o that_o be_v that_z sephora_fw-it moses_n wife_n circumcise_a her_o child_n whereunto_o i_o have_v answer_v partly_o before_o that_z particular_a example_n especial_o contrary_n to_o general_a rule_n be_v not_o to_o be_v follow_v and_o will_v further_o answer_v if_o i_o first_o admonish_v the_o reader_n whereupon_o this_o baptism_n of_o midwife_n and_o in_o private_a house_n rise_v that_z when_o we_o know_v of_o how_o rot_v a_o stock_n it_o come_v the_o fruit_n itself_o may_v be_v more_o loathsome_a unto_o we_o it_o first_o therefore_o rise_v upon_o a_o false_a interpretation_n of_o the_o place_n of_o s._n john_n unless_o a_o man_n be_v bear_v again_o of_o water_n &_o of_o the_o spirit_n 5._o he_o can_v not_o enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n where_o certain_a do_v interpret_v the_o word_n water_n for_o the_o material_a &_o elemental_a water_n wherewith_o man_n be_v wash_v when_o as_o our_o saviour_n christ_n take_v water_n there_o by_o a_o translation_n or_o borrow_a speech_n for_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n the_o effect_v whereof_o it_o shadow_v out_o for_o even_o as_o 11._o in_o a_o other_o place_n by_o the_o fire_n and_o the_o spirit_n he_o mean_v nothing_o but_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n which_o purge_v and_o purify_v as_o the_o fire_n do_v so_o in_o this_o place_n by_o the_o water_n and_o the_o spirit_n he_o mean_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n which_o cleanse_v the_o filth_n of_o sin_n and_o cool_v the_o broil_v heat_n of_o a_o unquiet_a conscience_n as_o water_n wash_v the_o thing_n which_o be_v foul_a and_o quench_v the_o heat_n of_o the_o fire_n secondary_o this_o error_n come_v by_o a_o false_a and_o unnecessary_a conclusion_n draw_v of_o that_o place_n for_o although_o the_o scripture_n shall_v say_v that_z none_o can_v be_v save_v but_o those_o which_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o be_v baptize_v with_o material_a and_o elemental_a water_n yet_o ought_v it_o to_o be_v understand_v of_o those_o which_o can_v convenient_o and_o orderly_a be_v bring_v to_o baptism_n as_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o who_o so_o do_v not_o believe_v the_o gospel_n be_v already_o condemn_a mean_v this_o sentence_n of_o those_o which_o can_v 18._o hear_v the_o gospel_n and_o have_v discretion_n to_o understand_v it_o when_o they_o hear_v it_o and_o can_v not_o here_o shut_v under_o this_o condemnation_n either_o those_o that_o be_v bear_v deaf_a and_o so_o remain_v or_o little_a infant_n or_o natural_a fool_n that_o have_v no_o wit_n to_o conceive_v what_o be_v preach_v and_o hereupon_o *_o s._n augustine_n conclude_v that_o all_o not_o baptize_v be_v condemn_v 24._o which_o be_v as_o absurd_o conclude_v of_o he_o as_o that_o of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n word_n except_o one_o eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n he_o have_v not_o life_n he_o conclude_v that_o whatsoever_o he_o be_v which_o receive_v not_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o supper_n be_v damn_a upon_o this_o false_a conclusion_n of_o s._n augustine_n have_v rise_v this_o profanation_n of_o the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n in_o be_v minister_v in_o private_a house_n &_o by_o woman_n or_o lay_v man_n as_z also_o upon_o his_o other_o absurd_a conclusion_n spring_v a_o horrible_a abuse_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n while_o they_o do_v thrust_v the_o bread_n and_o wine_n into_o young_a infant_n mouth_n for_o that_o man_n be_v persuade_v that_o otherwise_o if_o their_o child_n shall_v die_v before_o they_o be_v baptize_v or_o have_v receive_v the_o supper_n they_o be_v damn_v for_o ever_o and_o what_o better_a token_n can_v there_o be_v that_z this_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o this_o blind_a baptism_n then_o that_o the_o papist_n from_o who_o this_o baptism_n by_o woman_n be_v translate_v be_v of_o the_o same_o judgement_n and_o for_o that_o cause_n bring_v in_o their_o baptism_n by_o woman_n hereupon_o may_v be_v add_v a_o other_o cause_n which_o be_v that_o as_o when_o the_o church_n begin_v not_o only_o to_o decline_v but_o to_o fall_v away_o from_o the_o sincerity_n of_o religion_n it_o borrow_v a_o number_n of_o other_o profanation_n of_o the_o heathen_a so_o also_o it_o borrow_v this_o for_o as_o the_o heathen_a have_v woman_n priest_n so_o it_o will_v have_v also_o her_o woman_n priest_n and_o that_o this_o be_v a_o other_o occasion_n of_o bring_v in_o the_o baptism_n by_o woman_n it_o appear_v by_o your_o clement_n if_o he_o can_v speak_v any_o truth_n ca._n now_o i_o return_v to_o the_o example_n of_o sephora_n and_o say_v that_o the_o unlawfulness_n of_o that_o fact_n do_v appear_v sufficient_o in_o that_o she_o do_v it_o before_o her_o husband_n moses_n which_o be_v a_o prophet_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o to_o who_o that_o office_n of_o circumcision_n do_v appertain_v so_o that_o unless_o m._n doctor_n will_v have_v midwife_n baptise_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o bishop_n
