THE MINISTRATION OF

PUBLIC BAPTISM OF INFANTS,

To be used in the Church

The People are to be admonished, that it is most convenient that Baptism should not be administered but upon Sundays and other Holy Days, or Prayer Days. Never theless (if necessity so require) Baptism may be administered upon any other day. There shall be for every Male Child to be baptized, when they can be had, two God. fathers and one Godmother; and for every Female, one Godfather and two God mothers; and Parents shall be admitted as Sponsors, if it be desired. When there are Children to be baptized, the Parents or Sponsors shall give know ledge thereof, before the beginning of Morning Prayer, to the Minister. And then the Godfathers and Godmothers, and the Pople with the Children, must be ready at the Font, either immediately after the lust Lesson at Morning Prayer, or else immediately after the last Lesson at Evening Prayer, as the Minister, by his Discre tion, shall appoint. And the Minister coming to the Font (which is then to be filled with pure Water) and standing there, shall say,

Hath this Child been already baptized, or no?

If they answer, No; then shull the Minister proceed, as followeth. DEARLY beloved, forasmuch through the Red Sea, figuring as all men are conceived and thereby thy holy Baptism; and by born in si and our Saviour the Baptism of thy well-beloved Christ saith, vone can enter into Son Jesus Christ in the river Jorthe kingdom of God, except he dan, didst sanctify water, to the be regenerate and born anew of mystical washing away of sin; we Water and of the Holy Ghost; I beseech thee, for thine infinite beseech you to call upon God the mercies, that thou wilt mercifully Father, through our Lord Jesus look upon this Child; wash him.
