¶ Of the Council of Carthage, concerning the Baptism administered by heretics.
¶ Of the Councell of Carthage, concernyng the Baptisme administred by heretikes.
D. IT is no marvel since that the Romish Popes have usurped tyranny over the Church, and especially sith the time of the Emperor Phocas, if that there hath been small reason to be found in any of the Councils, but I will allege you others more ancient. It was concluded in the Council of Carthage (at the which S. Cyprian was present 1with. lxxxvi. Bishops, to wit in manner with all the Bishops of Aphrike, Numidia, and Mauritania) that the Baptism administered by heretics, should have no place, but that those which had been Baptised by them, should be Baptised again. The which sentence was afterward condemned, as appeareth. Dist 5 quare.
