Disputation.

You prove infants of believing parents to have faith two waies (as you say) first by express texts of Scripture, secondly Arguments of consequence.

Your express Scripture is Mat. 18. 6. Whosoever shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me; 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉: in the third verse (say you) they are called 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, whence upon my confession and concession that in ver. 2. and 4. is meant one in respect of age, because it is said there he called to him a little child and who so humbleth himself as this little child, you therfore argue that little ones in respect of age are meant in that 6 verse also.
