More proofs of infants church-membership and consequently their right to baptism, or, A second defence of our infant rights and mercies in three parts ... / by Richard Baxter.

SECT. I.

R. B. SIR, A probability of doing or receiving good, is to me a call to action. Seeing no such probability, I told you at first my purpo∣ses to forbear any further debates with you, till you had better answered what is said. In your next you seemed to deal so plainly, as if some small probability of good did yet appear: But in your third you fly off again and eat your own words, and jumble things in much confusion, so that I now re∣turn again to my former thoughts. For you that expresly say and unsay, and contradict your self, are not likely to be brought to a candid manage∣ment or fair issue of the Dispute. You'l sure think it no great matter to be driven to a self∣contradiction (which with others is to lose the Cause) who so easily and expresly run upon it your self.

"Mr. T's Answer, It was a call sufficient, &c.

Reply. I must be the discerner of my own Call or Reasons to write: time is precious: As for his offence at Mr. M. and Mr. Firmin for charging him with sophistry, and at Mr. Ford for charging him with railing, and Mr. Gataker for doubting it is his disposition to braze his forehead; and his own angry words hereupon, they concern not our pre∣sent business.
