Sect. 2.
[The time appointed we conceive sufficient.]
Repl. We conjecture the words that conclude your former Subject being misplaced, are intended as your Answer to this; and if all the Children of any sort in the world, that are brought to us, must by us be baptized without distinction, indeed it is no great matter what time we have notice of it.
Sect. 3. P. 23.
Ans. [And then the God-fathers, &c.] It is an erroneous doctrine, and the ground of many others, and of many of your Exceptions, that Children have no other right to Baptism, than in •heir Parents right; the Churches primitive practice forbids it to be left to the pleasure of the Parents, whether there shall be other Sureties or no? (St. Aug. Ep. 23.) It is fit we should observe carefully the practice of venerable Antiquity, as they desire, Prop. 18.]
