Rich. Baxter's review of the state of Christian's infants whether they should be entered…

I speak all this with reference to Mr. Danvers his following words also of my preaching in the Parish Churches.

The foresaid paper of mine he published in his last Book, as matter of Accusation; and did it, according to his custom, falsely: I briefly mentioned his falsification: He now Printeth that Copy as received from his Bookseller, in one Column, and on the other, another, called [The Copy obtained from the Original.] to show that there is but two words difference that is, His Copy spake of my Reading the Liturgy, and mine spake of my own Reading what my Assistant read (the Scripture.) But 1. If this be all one with him, are we not so to judge of his other Expositions? I know one whose oversight in writing usually lieth in leaving out [not] and [un.] and what is one Syllable? The Kings Printer, who as Dr. Heylin saith, was Fined in the Star-chamber for Printing [Thou shalt commit Adultery.] left out but one poor syllable. But he did not justify it as Mr. Danvers doth. 2. If it be his excuse to lay the Copy on his Bookseller, may we not take it also for his answer, that all the untruths that he hath said of the Novations, Donatists, Britons, Augustine, &c. he had them from—some body of as great authority as his Bookseller; and then all's well. 3. But, Reader, dost thou not expect that at least he should now say true after so much warning, and that this should be a true Copy which he saith, without exception, is [obtained from the Original.] I assure thee on the word of a Christian, it is yet so far from being ⟨p. 58⟩true, that divers lines, even a considerable part of the writing is left out. Take heed therefore to thy belief hereafter. Believe not every Spirit, nor every man that raileth at others as less wise or spiritual than he; what wonder if he untruly tell us of the opinion of whole parties, Novatians, Donatists, &c. and tell us of whole Books that have not one word of what he affirmeth, but somewhat for the contrary, when he will not only falsify my own writing, even a few lines, but defend his so doing against my self that have the Copy by me, and that by a greater falsehood than the first. Are this mans Citations to be credited?
