Although I would wish baptism to be given ¹in the vulgar tongue for the peoples sake which are ⟨image 31⟩present / that they may the better understand their own profession / and also be more able to teach their children the same / yet notwithstanding there is not like necessity of the vulgar tongue in Baptism / and in the lords supper. Baptism is given to children / who by reason of their age are not able to understand what is spoken unto them what tongue soever it be. The lords supper / is / and ought to be given to them / that are waxen. More over / in Baptism which is accustomed to be given to children in the Latin tongue / all the substantial points (as a man would say) which Christ commanded to be done / are observed. And therefore I judge that Baptism / to be a perfect and true baptism: and that it is not only not needful / but also not lawful / for any man so Christened / to be Christened again. Butt yet notwithstanding / they ought to be taught the Catechism of the Christen faith / when they shall come to years of discretion: Which Catechism / who so ever despiseth / or will not desirously embrace / and willingly learn / in my judgement he playeth not the part of a Christian man. But in the popish mass are wanting certain substantials / that is to say / things commanded by the word of god to be observed in ministration of the lords supper: of the which there is sufficient declaration made before.

Althoughe I wolde wisshe baptisme to be geuē ¹in the vulgar toung for the peoples sake which are ⟨image 31⟩presente / that they maye the better vnderstande theyr owne profession / and also be more hable to teache their childrē the same / yet notwithstanding ther is not lyke necessitee of the vulgare tounge in Baptisme / and in the lordes supper. Baptisme is geuē to children / who by reason of their aege are not able to vnderstande what is spoken vnto them what tounge soeuer it be. The lordes supper / is / and oughte to be geuen to them / that are wexen. More ouer / in Baptisme which is accustomed to be geuen to children in the Latin tounge / all the substantial poyntes (as a man wolde saye) which Christe commawnded to be doone / are obserued. And therfore I iudge that Baptisme / to be a perfecte and true baptisme: and that it is not only not nedefull / but also not lawfull / for anie man so Christened / to be Christened againe. Butt yet notwithstandynge / they oughte to be tawghte the Cathechisme of the Christen fayth / whan they shall come to yeares of discretion: Which Cathechisme / who so euer despiseth / or will not desirously embrace / and willingly learne / in my iudgemente he plaieth not the parte of a Christiane man. But in the popisshe masse are wantynge certeyne substantialles / that is to saye / thinges commawnded by the worde of godde to be obserued in ministration of the lordes supper: of the which ther is sufficient declaration made before.
