Pedo-baptists talk at a strange rate, as if they regarded not what they say or affirm, while they bring Similitudes to teach People to believe Baptism is the Balm to cure the Contagion of Sin, and as if the Application of it saved a little Babe from Hell, and they guilty of murdering the Souls of their Children who deny to baptize them.
