A Doctor in the Church cannot Preach, nor administer
the Sacraments, unless he be both Doctor and Minister.
This Article is but a continuance of the former, for seeing a Doctor in quality of a meer Doctor, hath no vocation to Preach the Word, nor to administer the Sacraments; it is unquestionable, the Baptism which he shall confer, shall be no other than that which shall be administred by a Meer Lay Man, to do it Lawfully, he must not only be a Doctor, but also a Minister.
