II. which places of scripture proue, that Iohn did baptize openly, and that the Lordes Supper was ministred in the publike congregation, but neyther of them bothe conclude, that these Sacramentes may not also be ministred vpon any occasion in priuate houses: for what sequele is there in this reason, al the c〈1 line〉〈1 line〉 un∣trey of Iudea, and they of Ierusalem, went out vnto him and wer* 1.2 baptized of him in the riuer of Iordan, confessing their synnes: Ergo baptisme may not be ministred vpon any occasion in priuate houses? you may as well conclude, that none ought to be baptized but in the riuer of Iordan, and none but such as be able to confesse their sinnes, and so you shoulde seclude children from Baptisme, as the Ana∣baptists doe.
