What Tertullian saith of Excommunication, Apol c. 39. and l. 2. ad uxorem you know.
If Classian•s his wise were a Church-member though her husband were cast out,1 we do not approve his practice who would not baptize his child by virtue of her; but it seems they apprehended that there was some equity if both were cast out. No wonder though Augustine were again•• it upon his principle.
