No Godfather coming from another Church, shall be suf∣fer'd to present a Child to Baptisme, without bringing a Certificate from his Church.
Anciently no Stranger was received without a Testi∣mony from his Church, it is the Order of the Seventh Cannon of the Council of Antioch in the year 341. Let no Stranger be received, without Pacifick Letters, It is what appears also by the Fifty Eighth chap. of the Second Book of Apostolical Constitutions, where we
read, that neither Brother nor Sister of another Church, was to be received without Letters of Recommen∣dation.
