Mr. Danvers Witnesses against Infant-baptism. His sad forgery against the Donatists detected: His marvellous falsification of ⟨image 6⟩Augustine's third and fourth books against them de bapt.

His forgeries or false stories of the Messalians, called by him, Dadoes, Sabas, Adulphus, Simonis — His slander of Faustus Rhegiensis — His deceit about Albanus. His gross falsification of Nicephorus and slander of Peter of Apamea and Zooras. His false story of Adrian Bishop of Corinth; and his false report of Gregory's dealing with him.

His audacious abuse of Cyprian and the Carthage Council. My repeated assertion of the novelty of Antipedobaptism. p. 239 Chap. 5.
