Whereas Mr. Burkit of Mildin, in the County of Suffolk, hath (in his late Book, called, An argumentative and practical Discourse of Infant-Baptism) very unjustly reproached the People called Anabaptists, and particularly Mr. John Tredwell (Preacher of God's Word,) declaring that he the said Tredwell hath lately, at Kittle-Baston, in the said County of Suffolk, baptized several Persons in a nasty Horse-pond, into which the Filth of the adjacent Stable occasionally flows, and that the People baptized in the said Pond, came forth with much Mud and Filthiness upon them, &c. We whose Names are hereunto subscribed, do solemnly certify and declare to the whole World, that those Reports and Assertions of the said Mr. Burkit, are utterly and notoriously false: for we taking a strict View of the said Pond and Stable, find the Dung or Filth of the said Stable, runs the quite contrary way from the Pond into the Road.
