that_o it_o will_v have_v be_v in_o vain_a to_o have_v have_v faith_n without_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n for_o than_o he_o can_v not_o be_v save_v and_o that_o it_o be_v unprofitable_a to_o

after_o these_o answer_n he_o say_v in_o general_a that_o the_o canon_n have_v just_o ordain_v to_o baptize_v the_o sick_a although_o they_o can_v themselves_o give_v a_o account_n of_o their_o

which_o relate_v to_o discipline_n the_o first_o be_v concern_v the_o baptism_n of_o st._n john_n whether_o it_o be_v from_o heaven_n or_o from_o earth_n he_o say_v that_o it_o be_v from_o heaven_n

that_o possible_o they_o may_v have_v be_v baptise_a though_o we_o find_v no_o mention_n of_o it_o and_o in_o the_o second_o place_n that_o that_o familiarity_n which_o they_o have_v with_o jesus_n christ_n the_o greatness_n of_o their_o faith_n and_o the_o ardency_n of_o their_o charity_n may_v supply_v in_o they_o the_o defect_n of_o baptism_n since_o jesus_n christ_n have_v promise_v the_o

if_o a_o man_n be_v not_o bear_v again_o of_o water_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n he_o can_v enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n do_v invincible_o establish_v the_o necessity_n of_o baptism_n the_o three_o question_n be_v whether_o one_o may_v baptise_v more_o than_o once_o he_o say_v express_o that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o baptism_n that_o it_o never_o ought_v to_o be_v reiterated_a he_o except_v however_o the_o baptism_n of_o heretic_n who_o say_v he_o be_v not_o able_a to_o give_v it_o because_o they_o have_v it_o not_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o we_o have_v a_o rule_n

those_o who_o be_v to_o receive_v baptism_n he_o say_v that_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v administer_v rash_o and_o that_o it_o be_v good_a sometime_o to_o put_v some_o stop_n to_o it_o that_o those_o

christ_n will_v never_o have_v divorce_v they_o and_o mary_n will_v never_o have_v forsake_v a_o husband_n this_o suppose_n that_o st._n joseph_n be_v yet_o alive_a when_o jesus_n christ_n upon_o the_o cross_n speak_v thus_o to_o his_o mother_n if_o this_o matter_n of_o fact_n be_v not_o certain_a the_o argument_n be_v nothing_o worth_a beside_o suppose_v there_o be_v a_o true_a marriage_n

but_o i_o doubt_v this_o answer_n have_v more_o it_o it_o be_v plain_a from_o the_o 2d_o chapter_n of_o st._n luke_n that_o our_o saviour_n live_v with_o joseph_n when_o he_o be_v 12_o year_n old_a
