Theophilus. We may well know by such questions & theological resolutions, of what spirit the doctrine which thou maintainest Euseb. proceedeth, y• which putteth such necessity in the exterior baptism, that those which do uphold and follow it, are constrained, even to murder the Infants: or at the least, ⟨image 237⟩they are in doubt and perplexity, either to kill them or drown them after that sort, or to suffer them to die, doubting that they are lost and rejected of God. I am much abashed, how God is become more cruel in this time of grace and mercy, towards the children of the Christians, after the manifestation of Jesus Christ his son, then he 1hath been towards the children of the Jews, before his coming.
