From the rebuke of Christ against this church,1 we gather that it is not warrantable by Gods word for a woman to administer the Sacrament of baptism. For baptism is a seal of the covenant in the public ministry, and so a part thereof, and must go with the preaching of the word, and may not be administered by women, who are not allowed to preach, no not in time and case of necessity when men are wanting. And although ⟨p. 139⟩they may not teach publicly, yet they may teach at home, and in the absence of their husband it is her duty to teach her children. Proverb. 31, Lemuel, that is, Solomon is taught many worthy things of his mother. And Timothy was brought up of a child in the scriptures by his grandmother Lois, and his mother Eunice, 2. Tim. 1.5.
