Propositions and principles of divinity propounded and disputed in the university of Geneva, by certain students of divinity there, under M. Theod. Beza, and M. Anthony Faius ... Wherein is contained a methodical summary, or epitome of the common places of divinity. Translated out of Latin into English, to the end that the causes, both of the present dangers of that Church, and also of the troubles of those that are hardly dealt with else-where, may appear in the English tongue.Propositions and principles of diuinitie propounded and disputed in the vniuersitie of Geneua, by certaine students of diuinitie there, vnder M.

8 Those vain questions that have risen from that false absolute necessity of Baptism, as whether it be lawful to baptize with distilled water, with urine or stale, or with sand where natural water cannot be gotten; we reject, as absurd and ridiculous: neither think we, that any contention ought to be made, whether the water is to be once or thrice applied.
