We propose to your charitable judgement in the last place the most ancient & first received exposition of these words, touching proxy-Baptisme, baptizing the living for the dead. A custome in use among certain Hereticks, who if any of the Catechumeni, converts to the Christian faith not yet baptized but in their Catechisme in order to Baptisme, were surprised by death before the time appointed for Baptisme, which was Easter or Whitsontide, & before that as some write the sixth of January or feast of the Epiphany, the day on which they supposed our Saviour was baptized, a custome they say still retained in the most ancient Aethiopian Churches, if any were taken away by death before he were baptized, their manner was to substitute some friend alive to answer and to be baptized for him that was dead. |
