CONFORMITY.

In all Antiquity there is few or no Examples to be found of a Woman that presented a Child to be Bapti∣zed without a Godfather, and much less of an unbelie∣ving Woman; in effect, we have seen on the Seventh Article, That those which presented Children should be believers. What I alleadged of the Council of Metz on the same Seventh Article, not destroying what I say on this, if one reads all the Cannon, besides that it has sometimes been suffer'd amongst us upon some Conside∣rations as appears by the National Synod of Poictiers in the Year 1560, that's to be understood in regard of believing Women, though this sufferance is not at pre∣sent in use.
