by_o some_o extremity_n of_o time_n as_o he_o can_v have_v the_o sacrament_n of_o batisme_n minister_v unto_o he_o and_o there_o follow_v a_o other_o canon_n which_o say_v that_o if_o a_o learner_n

such_o as_o have_v not_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n have_v not_o want_v it_o through_o pride_n or_o disdain_n but_o through_o enforcement_n of_o necessity_n in_o likewise_o it_o be_v

therefore_o exclude_v from_o salvation_n it_o follow_v well_o that_o no_o necessity_n can_v be_v great_a enough_o to_o dispense_v with_o woman_n for_o intermeddle_v themselves_o with_o the_o administration_n of_o the_o sacrament_n and_o true_o in_o old_a time_n 4._o as_o the_o canon_n do_v witness_n baptism_n be_v not_o minister_v ordinary_o but_o only_o at_o two_o time_n in_o the_o

4._o likewise_o it_o do_v also_o appear_v by_o the_o canon_n that_o baptism_n be_v not_o minister_v to_o the_o infidel_n but_o only_o to_o such_o as_o have_v faith_n and_o do_v make_v confession_n thereof_o when_o they_o be_v of_o age_n to_o do_v it_o and_o as_o touch_v the_o forementioned_a ceremony_n in_o deed_n there_o be_v some_o canon_n how_o be_v it_o of_o the_o worst_a stamp_n which_o do_v allow_v they_o but_o the_o best_a and_o most_o ancient_a canon_n do_v utter_o dissallow_v they_o for_o by_o the_o ancient_a canon_n man_n be_v permit_v to_o baptise_v in_o river_n in_o the_o

of_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o holy_a supper_n the_o seven_o chapter_n the_o difference_n betwixt_o the_o romish_a catholic_n and_o the_o protestant_n concern_v the_o supper_n of_o the_o lord_n
