answer

introduction

question 1

Quest. 2. What certain indubitable Grounds can we have for the Practice of Infant-Baptism.

Quest. 3. Whether Infant-Baptism is to be found in the Scripture?

Quest. 4. Why was not Christ baptized before he was thirty Years old?

Question 5. Why Sprinkling, and not Dip∣ping? You answer, Our Church denies not the latter, (that is, dipping) but looks upon it as a clear Representation of our Saviour's descending into the Grave, abiding there, and rising up again, &c.

Question 6. What think you of those that die in Infancy unbaptized?

Quest. 7. If Children be saved whether bap∣tized or not, what signifies Baptism?

Quest. 8. Whether have Children Faith or no; since Faith and Repentance are Pre-requisites to Baptism?

conclusion

Queries for the Athenian Society to Answer, some of which were formerly sent to them, but were passed by in silence, 1. On Infants the Subjects of Baptism. And, 2. What Baptism is.
