But in the case cited, continued _Kysarcius_, where _patri_ is put for _patris_, _filia_ for _filii_, and so on----as it is a fault only in the declension, and the roots of the words continue untouch'd, the inflections of their branches either this way or that, does not in any sort hinder the baptism, inasmuch as the same sense continues in the words as before. ----But then, said _Didius_, the intention of the priest's pronouncing them grammatically must have been proved to have gone along with it. ------------Right, answered _Kysarcius_; and of this, brother _Didius_, we have an instance in a decree of the decretals of Pope _Leo_ the IIId. ----But my brother's child, cried my uncle _Toby_, has nothing to do with the Pope------'tis the plain child of a Protestant gentleman, christen'd _Tristram_ against the wills and wishes both of his father and mother, and all who are a-kin to it.----

'But in the case cited,' continued Kysarcius, 'with patriae for patris, and so on - as it is a fault only in the declension, and the roots of the words and their meaning continue untouched, it does not hinder the baptism. We have an instance in a decree of Pope Leo the Third-'
'But my brother's child has nothing to do with the Pope,' cried my uncle Toby; ''tis the child of a Protestant gentleman, christened Tristram against the wishes of his father and mother, and all his kin.'
