Touching the Objection of Frantic Persons, and madmen, in what sort, and how far Absolution taketh place in them, for as much, as it is an extraordinary case,1 I think it neither needful, nor easy to define. In deed a question is moved by Pope Innocentius the third, whether, and in what sort a man, either in his madness, or in his sleep may be Baptized. And S. Augustine seemeth to witness, that Children sometime were Baptized in their Mothers Womb. Likewise he writeth of a friend of his own, Cùm jaceret sine sensu in dolore laetali, 2& desperaretur, Baptizatus est nesciens: Whereas he lay in a Trance, without sense, in deadly pain, and was despaired of, he was Baptized, and knew not of it.
