§. 2. Next he repeateth his falshoods of Cresconius, Fulgentius, Vinc. Victor, which I have shewed to be done in great temerity.
§. 3. Thirdly he repeateth his stupendous slander of Austin as with much zeal and fury in many Books opposing the Donatists for denying Infant-baptism; of which in them all (as far as I can find) he hath not one syllable, but the clear contrary, as is proved by me.
