William Savil's Baptism [3 May 2011]

Does anyone know where the 24 Feb 1604/5 baptism of William Savil at Saffron Walden comes from. Waldo Sprague, in Register 107 [1953] : 219-220 gives the baptism of his sister Ann, who married Deacon Samuel Bass, and says of William, "His own baptism is not apparent in Saffron Walden; Ann Savil, daughter of William, baptized there 26 April 1601, was no doubt his sister and wife of 'his brother Samuel Bass.'"--Jaques1724 18:01, 2 May 2011 (EDT)

Sprague also adds three marriages and the end and says they "must have been overlooked in searching the parish register", so his search (by proxy, I believe) must not have been all that good. I saw LDS film 1526933 cited at a website, but even better, after a little searching, it turns out that the images of the parish registers of St. Mary the Virgin church, Saffron Walden, are actually online.
