Of Publick Baptism.
There being divers learned, pious and peaceable Ministers, who do not only judg it unlawful to baptize children, whose Parents both of them are Atheists, Infidels, Heretics, or unbaptized; but also such, whose parents are excommunicate persons; Fornicators, or otherwise notorious and scandalous sinners. We desire they may not be enforced to Baptize the children of such, until they have made open profession of their repentance before Baptism.
