hathe risen first of a false vnderstanding of the Scripture, and then of a false conclusion of that vntrue vnderstanding, which is, that they can not be saued whiche are not baptized, and for that the authors them selues of that errour dyd neuer seeke no remedie of the mischiefe in wo∣mens or priuate baptisme: And last of all, for that if there were any remedie, agaynst the mischiefe in suche kinde of baptisme, yet it ought not to be vsed, beeing agaynst the institution of God, and his glory. I conclude that the priuate baptisme, and by women is vtterly vnlawfull.

Io. Whitgifte.

These be all petitions of principles, or the moste of them: for I haue shewed be∣fore, that the administration of baptisme hath beene and may be committed to some, euen in the publike congregation, to whom the preaching of the word is not cōmit∣ted: and nowe in lyke maner I haue proued, that laye men in the time of necessitie maye baptise: whiche bothe are denyed by you without any kinde of proofe. I haue also showed, howe that the necessitie of baptising Infants is vehemently defended of those, that be not of S. Augustines iudgement touching their damnation, if they he not baptized, and I haue set downe their wordes, whiche conteyne their reasons. Last of all, I haue put you to proue that Priuate baptisme in time of necessitie is a∣gaynst any comma〈1 line〉〈1 line〉dement or institution of Christs: for I denie it. So that not∣withstanding I suspende my iudgement for baptizing by women: yet I am oute o〈1 line〉〈1 line〉 doubt for priuate baptisme.
