1 Timothy 5:22 Douay-Rheims

Impose not hands lightly upon any man, neither be partaker of other men’s sins. Keep thyself chaste.

Tertullian

c. A.D. 150–220 Patristic

On the contrary, this precept is rather to be looked at carefully: "Give not the holy thing to the dogs, nor cast your pearls before swine; " and, "Lay not hands easily on any; share not other men's sins." If Philip so "easily" baptized the chamberlain, let us reflect that a manifest and conspicuous evidence that the Lord deemed him worthy had been interposed.
