A brief Answer to a small Book written by Iohn Norcot, against Infant Baptism. This Answer is written by John Eliot for the sake of some of the flock of Jesus Christ, who were ready to be staggered in the point of Infant Baptism, by reading that Book.

The chief hinge that the whole discourse hangeth upon is, that there is no place of Scripture for baptizing Infants.
THe Book speaketh with the voice of a Lamb, and I think the Author is a godly though erring Brother; but he acteth the cause of the roaring Lyon, who by all crafty wayes seeketh to devour the poor Lambs of the flock of Christ. The chief hinge that the whole discourse hangeth upon is, that there is no place of Scripture for baptizing Infants.
