As the whole Country, say you, were under Circumcision, so doth John receive them to his Baptism, he refused none that came to his Baptism, but received Publicans, Sadducees, Pharisees, viz. the Generations of •ipers, Matth. 3. 7, 8. And can it be thought he refused little Children?

Answ. I wonder you should affirm that John received all the Country to his Baptism, and refused none, no not the Generation of Vipers: This I deny, and you have no shadow of Reason to assert it, since he rebuked them when he saw them coming to his Baptism, and bid them bring forth Fruit meet for Repentance. Prove, if you can, that he baptized one Soul but such only that were penitent, and demonstrated the truth of their Repentance by bringing forth of the Fruits thereof.
