Answ. Not one true Sentence in all this: 1. It's false that Adrian publicly opposed Infant-Baptism. ⟨p. 271⟩2. It's false that he was accused for it by Gregory, or that Gregory laid any such thing to his charge: 3. Or that they so proceeded, if my books be true. Reader, the case in Gregory's Epistles here cited is this. Adrian was accused malevolently of many things (not by Gregory) but to Gregory: Among others, that through him some Infants had dyed without Baptism. Gregory writeth to John Bishop of Larissa on his behalf, and saith that [no one of the witnesses could say that he knew any such thing by him, but that they were told so by the mothers of some children, whose Husbands had for their faults been removed (from the Church) sed nec in baptizatos eos mortis tempus professi sunt occupasse, sicut accusatorum continebat invidiosa suggestio, cum in Demetriade Civitate baptizatos eos esse constiterit] that is, [Nor did (the witnesses) say, that they died unbaptized, as the envious suggestion of the accusers contained; for it is manifest that they were baptized in the City Demetrias.]
