Answer, This is an absurd and an idle Dream, because the Holy Ghost by mentioning the time of Christs Age when he was Baptized, and that he was about Thirty years Old, holds forth no doubt not less then this, That all persons ought to come to a mature age, or to ripeness of understanding, before, they be Baptized, for the Jews looked upon that Age to be a perfect and mature age. The Priests did not till about that Age enter into the exercise of their Office; and therefore in opposition to what you say the Antipaedobaptists do walk according to Christs Rule, i.e. the example of Christ in the point and time of Baptism, viz. That all persons must delay their Baptism, until they come to such ripeness of Age, as to be grown up to maturity so as to understand what baptism signifies, and to be capable to believe in Jesus Christ, which some arrive unto sooner then others; for some have the understanding of Men when very Young, may be, have more wisdom at Twelve years of Age, then some others have at Thirty, but they that arrive not to understanding by the Thirtieth year of their Age certainly never will attain to the wisdom and knowledge of Men of understanding.
