Master D. requireth that it should be proved unto him / that by private baptism is meant baptism by women. First it is meant / that it should be done by some other then the minister / for that the minister is bid to give them warning / that they should not baptise the child at home in their house without great cause and necessity. Secondarily / I would gladly ask him who they be that are present / when the child is so shortly after it is borne in great danger of death. And last of all M. Doctor doth not see / how he accuseth all the magistrates of this realm of the neglect of their duty / in that they allow of the daily practising by women in baptising children / if so be that the book did not so appoint it or permit it. If he meant plainly herein / there needed not so much ado.
