The reason why not infant sprinkling but believers baptism ought to be approved is because the Lord Jesus Christ, his forerunner, and apostles preach't it, and practic'd it as hereby will further appear by Scripture authority in about fourty texts, with notes on every text : to which is added, how infant sprinkling came in fashion, the evil tendencies of infant sprinkling, answers to objections, differences betw. believ. baptism and inf. sprink. with several other things / by a believer baptiz'd.

How Infant Sprinkling came in fashion.

The Church of Rome co••fesseth, she changed Dipping into Sprinkling; C••prian is the first who pleads for baptisi••g the Si••k by Sprinkling, and for Sprinkling now Converts in the Prison-house; and by degrees they brought it in for sick Children then for all Children.

Romes first and great Argument, by which Infants Baptism was brought in, was their imagining, it took away original Sin; upon which they made this Canon in the Milevetan Cou••cil.

It is our Will, that all who affirm Young Children have everlasting life, which are not baptized, to the taking away of Original Sin, shall be Anathemized.

So the fifth Council at Carthage, 416.

We will that ••hosoever denyeth that little Children by Baptism, are not freed from Perdition and eternally saved, that they be ac••ursed.

This was first confi••me•• by Pope Innocen∣tius and Augustin, with seventy Bishops.

I note, Thus a Christian may see the Our Will, & the We Will, that brought in nfant Sprinkling without God's Will, & therefore 'tis not strange if some Infants in cold Countries, Dye, if Dipt.

Again, The Fathers of the declined Church were but Children in comparison of the Apost••es, and therefore the Apostles shall be my Fathers.
