129. Question.
Forasmuch as certain old Fathers attributed very much in this controversy to the faith of the Parents and of the Church, whence I pray you came this questioning, doest thou believe? I believe. Doest thou forsake? I forsake?

Answer. I am not ignorant how diligently Augustine studied writing too Bonifacius too excuse this kind of vowing and promising then used in the Baptism of Infants. But who seeeth not that this began from hence that that which was wont to be said and done in the Baptism of those which were grown of years of discretion, were by the negligence of the Bishops, and peradventure by the superstition of some, drawn too the baptism of infants? Of which thing God willing we will then entreat, when we shall come to the confutation of the contrary opinions.
