§. 7. 3. And in his first Proposal fol. 7. (of Hoffmeister's Edit.) he reciteth the words supposed to be theirs, in which they deny as much the Salvation as the Baptism of all Infants. Ex his domini verbis Mar. 16. aperte monstrant, nullum nisi crediderit, & baptizatus fuerit, hoc est, nisi Christianam fidem habuerit & baptismum perceperit, posse salvari: Nam non alterum horum, sed utrumque pariter salvat: Unde Infants, licet à vobis baptizentur, quia tamen credere, obstante aetate, non possunt, nequaquam salvantur.] So that it is the salvation of any Infants that they principally here deny; accounting Baptism needful to salvation.

§. 8. And fol. 8. He addeth their next charge that fama vulgavit, fame reported, that they wholly believed not Christ, Prophets, or Apostles, the Old or New Testament. Sed quia fallaci rumorum monstro non facile assensum praebere debeo (maxime cum quidam vos totum ⟨p. 411⟩divinum Canonem abjecisse affirment, alii quaedam ex ipso vos suscepisse contendant) culpare vos de incertis nolo]: Where he fully confesseth that he knew them not, but went by fame, and that he suspected himself this fame to be false, calling it a Monster, and proving it contrary to it self, and professing that he ought not to believe it: But yet lest it should be true, he goeth on to prove the truth of the Scriptures, as he doth Infants salvation and Baptism.
