法國國家圖書館明清天主教文獻. Chinese Christian texts from the National Library of France, vol. 18.111. Full text online at BnF Gallica and Hong Kong Catholic Diocese Archives. Dig.pdf. local access [Shengxi guiyi.pdf] "Catechisms, but also prayer books, sometimes contain the text of the formal interrogation of the catechumen which took place just before the sacrament was administered, apparently to be used by catechists who (like everyone) were allowed and obliged to baptise people in articulo mortis. For instance, Jacques Motel 穆迪我, S.J., gives in his Shengxi guiyi 聖洗規儀 (1689) instructions of how to administer baptism.”--Cf. Standaert, Handbook of Christianity in China, v.1, p. 624.
