CHAP. IX.
The design of this Chapter is to set the baptizing of believers and of infants in opposition one against the ⟨p. 24⟩other, when as God hath conjoined them together, believers and their infants are to be baptized; there is more deceit than weight in this doing, the first and the two last of these touches deny that there is any Scripture for infant Baptism, and upon that Hinge the rest hang. You know we plead Scripture Authority for infant Baptism, and therefore I will pass by this Chapter as a confused heap of hay and stubble.
