A86419	The fallacy of infants baptisme discovered. Or, Five arguments, to prove that infants ought not to be baptized. Delivered in private by Captain Hobson, who should that day (with Master Knowls, and some others;) have discussed the thing in publike with Master Callamy, and Master Cranford, &c.
