Fa. But Son, What do you think should be the reason, since Believers Baptism lies so plain in the Word of God (and that none else were in the Primitive Times Baptized) that so many Learned and Holy men should not see it?
Son. Sir, I have often wondered at it, I must confess, and I have been a thinking it may be from God, as a Just Rebuke upon some of them, because they have Magnified Humane Learning (which is very good in its place) above what they ought; and have too much slighted •ome who have not such Humane Literature; for God would have no Flesh Glory in his Presence, but that he that Glorieth, may Glory in the Lord, • Cor. 2.2•.31.
