A discourse of the religion anciently professed

That the Britons used another manner in the administration of the Sacrament of Baptism than the Romans did: appeareth by the proposition made unto them by Austin the Monk;ⁿ that they should perform the ministry of baptism, according to the custom of the Church of Rome. That their form of Liturgy ⟨p. 34⟩was the same with that which was received by their neighbours the Galls, is intimated by the Author of that ancient fragment before alleged: who also addeth, that the^o Gallican Order was received in the Church throughout the whole world. Yet elsewhere do I meet with a sentence alleged out of Gildas; that^p the Britons were contrary to the whole world, and enemies to the Roman customs, aswell in their Mass, as in their Tonsure.
