“The most important matter in this transaction”
he writes, “is the imperial code, which contains
cap. 1, lib. 2, an edict issued by the Emperors Theodosius
and Honorius, which reads thus: “If any
minister of the Christian church is found guilty of
having rebaptized any one, he, together with the
person thus rebaptized, provided the latter is proved
to be of such an age as to understand the crime,
shall be put to death.”
