Upon all these grounds he may call mean Antipedobaptist if he please, & with as much Truth, as he hath so written concerning Wycliffe, (who doth expressly assert the Baptism of Infants) and many other Authors both Ancient and Modern by him perverted and abused. Yea, and he wrongs his beloved Donatists, who though corrupt in many things, and practising Rebaptisation on those that did Apostatize from more Orthodox Churches unto their party, yet opposed not Infants-Baptism. Austin who conversed and contended ⟨p. 20⟩with them, and doth (de Heres. Cap. 69.) give an ample description of their Heterodoxies, saith not a word of their Antipedobaptism; that is Mr. Ds. Invention. And whereas it is recorded concerning some old Heretics, Manichees, Messalians, Cathari, &c. that they rejected Baptism, and all other instituted Ordinances as unprofitable things, what will you say, if now he hath found more witnesses, (precious ones) against Infant-baptism. But his Book is well answered by Mr. Baxter, Mr. Whiston, Mr. Blinman, Mr. Wills and Mr. Walker. Nor do I find that what they have written is in the least enervated by the vain attempts of Edward Hutchinson, who calls upon Mr. Baxter to repent of that absurd and Heretical Position (those are his very words) of a baptismal Covenant of Grace, running in a fleshly Line, as he shall shortly answer it before the dreadful Tribunal. We may judge by that, whom the Anabaptists look upon as Heretics, and what favour the Churches, and in special, the Ministers of the Lord Jesus would find from them, had they power in their hands. The like may be said of Tho. Delaun, who giveth The Lye to that man of God last mentioned, and moreover revileth Mr. Whiston and Mr. Wills (men of known integrity and moderation) saying that They supply the want of reason (no doubt but they are the People, and wisdom shall dye with them) with rage & malice, & at last concludes, that if any persons be deceived by those Arguments which are urged for Infant Baptism, it is because they will be deceived. If these men should be such themselves as they judge others to be, what punishment may they be thought worthy of?
