before_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n many_o mo_z effect_n of_o baptism_n i_o may_v rehearse_v unto_o you_o sing_v all_o other_o grace_n take_v their_o beginning_n here_o &_o be_v build_v upon_o it_o but_o in_o these_o four_o which_o i_o have_v rehearse_v they_o may_v be_v consider_v as_o how_o in_o baptism_n we_o be_v make_v free_a from_o sin_n
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

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

together_o after_o the_o manner_n before_o say_v moreover_o you_o must_v note_v that_o there_o may_v not_o two_o person_n do_v these_o two_o foresay_a thing_n that_o be_v to_o say_v one_o may_v not_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
