III. THOMAS SHEPARD Anagr: More hath po•s'd.
More from this holy pen d•th •ast'd The Baptism to defend […] Infants […] at Church members are (If well you do attend) Then any Anti-baptists can with solidness confute. I wish with all my heart that God will grant these labours fruit, As good or better then the pains by other Godly taken. That thereby all his precious Saints be would please to awaken. That none may any more oppose, with Zeal preposterous, The Truth which Gods most holy word commendeth unto us; That who were less convinced by this holy Shepherds voice, Yet in his Letter left behind they may ••e more rejoice. He was a shining Light indeed, few other such are left, The Lord vouchsafe we be not by our Sins of them bereft. And pour down of his Spirit more upon his Sons surviving; That will be more and more unto Truth's lovers a reviving.
