The English nonconformity as under King Charles II and King James II truly stated…

And if these promising Godfathers be mere Liars, the Child is supposed to be baptizable and savable by it. But if they say that the right to Salvation comes, ex opero operato, by mere baptizing, whether the Child have undertakers or not, I answer, that a profanation of God's ordinance is not a saving act: God hath said no such thing, but that the Children of Infidels are unclean and unholy, and doth not say except some body will baptize them. And why should not the Church baptize as many Infidels Children as they can catch up, though none undertake for them, if baptizing them do certainly save them if they so die. I conclude therefore that seeing no man can be certain that all the baptized Children of Heathens, Infidels, Jews, Atheists or Diabolists are in a state of Salvation, God never promising it, but saying the contrary, whoever professeth this undoubted certainty, speaketh falsely, that which he hath not.

And if these promising Godfathers be meer Lyers, the Child is supposed to be baptizable and savable by it. But if they say that the right to Salvation comes, ex opero operato, by meer baptizing, whether the Child have undertakers or not, I answer, that a prophanation of God's ordinance is not a saving act: God hath said no such thing, but that the Children of Infidels are unclean and unholy, and doth not say except some body will baptize them.

L. But they say not [I am undoubtedly certain of it] but only that it is undoubtedly certain in it self.
