10. And lastly, Mr. Owen mistakes, the Waters we drink of, who maintain Believers Baptism, are not Stolen Waters, but Waters lawfully come at, being taken out of the Fountain of Gods Word, and are part of the Waters of God's Sanctuary; and therefore they are sweet to our Souls, and our Bread is from our Fathers Table, being no other than what all the Children of God did feed upon in the Apostolical Primitive times: and his Stolen Water of Infant Baptism may prove bitter at the end, notwithstanding his vain boasts, but let him see to that, may be God may open his Eyes, and cause him to Vomit it up by Repentance, which I shall rejoice to hear.

A•sw. We are, I tell you again, as much against rebaptizing as you can be, but you want the essentials of Baptism, both in respect to the form of baptism, and the subjects thereof. Sprinkling is not baptizing, and Infants are not the true Subjects of Christ's baptism, but Believers only.
