Prov. 23. 23. Buy the truth, and sell it not.

Acts 8. 36, 37, 38. And the Eunuch said, See here is water, what doth hinder me to be baptized? And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, thou maist, or it is lawfull. And he answered, and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. And he commanded the Charet to stand still, and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the Eunuch, and he baptized him.

Bernard. Serm. 66. in Cantica. Irrident nos quia baptizamus infantes, quòd oramus pro mortuis, quòd sanctorum suf∣fragia postulamus.

Joan. Lodovic. Vives Comment in Augustin. tom. 5. de civit. Dei. lib. 1. cap. 27. Nemo olim sacro admovebatur baptisterio, nisi adulta jam aetate, & cum idem ipse & sci∣ret quid sibi mystica illa vellet aqua, & se ablui illa peteret, nec semel peteret. Cujus rei imaginem adhuc in nostris infantium baptismis videmus. Nam rogatur etiam, num in∣fans eo die natus, vel pridie, velitne baptizari, id{que} ter: pro quo susceptores respondent, velle. Audio in quibusdā Italiae urbibus morē veterē magna ex parte adhuc conservari.
