The ninth interrogation.
Whether a woman being great with child,1 ought to be baptised, or after she hath children, after how long time she ought to enter into the Church. Or else that which she hath brought forth, least it should be prevented with death, after how many days it ought to receive Baptism. Or after how long time after her childbirth is it lawful for her husband to resort to her? Or else if she be in her monthly course, after the disease of women, whether then she may enter into the Church, and receive the Sacrament of the holy Communion? Or else her husband after the lying with his wife, before he be washed with water, whether is it lawful for him to enter the Church, and to draw unto the mystery of the holy Communion? All which things must be declared and opened to the rude multitude of Englishmen.
