More proofs of infants church-membership and consequently their right to baptism, or, A second…

And so sottish a fellow was this Guitmund that his fellow Papists are put to disown him for saying that their Eucharistical Host cannot be corrupted or putrefy, or be eaten by Mice, or any Brutes, but only seemeth so to be: ib. p. 230. l. 2.
