Baptism could only be made once. This is why priests sometimes used the
expression "sub conditione", meaning that the child was baptized in church
just in case the baptism made at home was not done properly.
When you find a record mentioning a baptism "sub conditione", and if its
not the case of an abandoned baby, it means that the priest was previously
informed that someone baptized the baby at home, surely for being afraid
that this baby would die.
