P. The truth is, Infant Christians will still need the help of their Elders, and of Christs Ministers, when they have been never so well forearmed; as you need a Physician in your sickness, after all the preventing directions which he can give you. And you have done well to bring him, and to hear both sides together. Had you trusted to your own understanding, and only disputed it out privately with himself, you might have been ensnared to your danger. I shall willingly confer with him on these two conditions: 1. That you remember that it is You and not Him that I am to satisfy: and therefore when I have satisfied you, I have done: For to follow him as long as he will talk, will waste more time, than we have to spare. 2. That when you are delivered from this snare, you will remember that you must meet with many more such in the world: The Anabaptist will say as much to you for his way, and the Papist much more for his way; And most of them will affright you with the danger of damnation, if you turn not to them: Therefore when ever you are assaulted by any of them, bring them to me, and hear us together, as you now do.
