not be saved and therefore delayed Baptisme as long as they could which sinne of delaying Baptisme Tertullian li. de peniten c. 6 saith is delinquendi commeatum faceri and Nazianzen Orat. 40. pag. 643. Edit Morell saith 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 As for Grotius though he was learneder then you yet he vvas erroneous as you more fit to live amongst the Transylvanians who deny the Trinity the Diety of Christ and Infants Baptisme then to be amongst Orthodox Divines Grotius is well known to incline too much to Socinians Arminians Anabaptists and any thing that is naught Lastly Where you say there is no antiquity in the first three hundred years after Christ for Infants Baptism let us try it out a little but first where some said that Pigius was against Infants Baptisme Pelagius denies it and was ashamed of it though you be not as in his Epistle ad Innocentium and Augustinus in that clears him Cap. 17. de peccat originis But now we shall shew Infants Baptisme before Pelagius his time I pass by Dionisius Areopagita supposed he Act. 17. last in his last Chapter Hierarchiae Ecclesiasticae because I suspect him spurious Hyginus lived in Polycarps time who was the Apostle Johns disciple and was for the Baptisme of Infants who is said to be the first that appointed for Infants in Baptisme Patrimos and Patrimas Lactantius who is said to live about two hundred yeares of Christ he is for us Instit l. 4. c. 4. and Cyprian who lived within two hundred years of Christ is for us for he heard Tertullian saith Helvicus being Bishop of Carthage Anno 247. He in his Epist 59. ad Fidum together with a whole Councell in his time is for Infants Baptisme the Councell consisted of sixty sixe Bishops where the Question was Whether Infants might be Baptized before they were eight dayes old Cyprian and the Councell held that Infants might be Baptized before they were eight dayes old their Adversaries held that they might not till the eight dayes were expired The place in Cyprian is cited to be in his Epistle ad Fidum 3. li. 8. Epist Irenaeus also is cited for Infants li. 2. c. 39. and he lived in Polycarpus time Likewise Origen who lived within two hundred and thirty years of Christ in the 5. l. c. 6. Tom. 2. pag. 543. edit Basil saith Ecclesia traditionem ab Apostolis suscepit etiam parvulis dare Baptismum c. which is the Church hath reccived it from the Apostles even to give Baptisme to Infants The like he hath in the eight Book and eight Hom. upon Levit. And Ambrose vvho lived not much above three hundred years after Christ l. 2. c. 11. De Abraham Patriarcha saith Nec senex proselytus nec infans vernaculus excipitur quia omnis aetas peccato obnoxia ideo omnis aetas Sacramento idonea and a little after Nullum excipit non infantem of the same minde is Cyrillus Hierosolymitanus Catech. Mystag 1. Basilius exhortat ad Bapt. And Chrysostome Hom. ad Neophytos The Christians who were converted by Thomas the Apostle in Crangonore in the East Indies they have to this day continued the Baptising of Infants witness Osorius 3. l. de rebus gestis Emanuelis though for the most part they delay it till the children be forty dayes old Tertullian saith Helvicus wrote his Book of Prescriptions about the year 195. some ninty seven years after the Apostle Johns death at which time he was at least between thirty and forty years old and so borne some sixty years after the Apostles death he lib. de Baptis c. 18. though he gives some frivolous reasons why Infants should not be Baptized yet therein he clearly shews that the people did Baptize their Infants Moreover Tertullian was for the necessity of Baptism to salvation and for the salvation of Infants and therfore could not be altogether against Infants Baptisme but within four or five hundred years of Christ for Infants we find Jerome Epist ad Laetam and towards the end of his third Book against the Pelagians where he brings in the Authority of Cyprian and his Colleagues We finde also Innocentius Epist 26. to the Milevitan Councell And Augustinus Epist 28 de peccat orig cap. 40. 2. li. de nuptiis concup cap. 20. lib. 3. de peccat mer. remissi cap. 9. 2. lib. contra Jul. 4. li. de Bapt. contra Donatist cap. 24. And we finde Paulinus for Infants in vita Ambrosii Theodoret Epitome divinorum dogmat cap. de Baptismo Leo Magnus Epist 84. aliis 86 ad Episc Aquileiens And the Writer de vocat gentium lib. 2. cap. 8. And Gennadius de Eccl. Dogm cap. 31. All these for Infants Baptisme lived within the first five hundred years after Christ yea whole Councels besides that in Cyprians time were for them as the Councell of Carthage called the Milevitan held Anno 418. in the 2. Canon thus Quicunque parvulos recentes ab uteris matrum Baptizandos negat aut dicit in remissionem quidem peccatorum cos Baptizari sed nihil ex Adam trahere originalis peccati quod regenerationis lavacro expietur Anathema sit And the Councell at Gerund held Anno 517. in the fift Canon is to the same purpose and likewise the second Councel at Bracara in the seventh Canon lastly the Councell at Vienna I will here close with some places of Augustine And first De Genesi ad liter am l. 10. cap. 23 Consuetudo inquit matris Ecclesiae in Baptizandis parvulis nequaquam spernenda est neque ullo modo superflua deputanda nec omnino tradenda nisi Apostolicae esset traditio where he means traditionem 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 not 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 as appears lib. 4. de Baptis cap. 24. where he proves it by Scripture against the Donatifis his words likewise li. 1. de peccat mer. remissi cap. 26. are parvulos Baptizandos esse Pelagiani concedunt qui contra authoritatem universae Ecclesiae proculdubio per Dominum Apostolos traditam venire non possunt Ser. 10. de verbis Apostoli Ne mo inquit vohis susurret doctrinas alienas hoc Ecclesia semper habuit semper tenuit hoc a majorum fide accepit hoc usque in finem perseveranter custodit Idem lib. 2. contra Caelest Pelag. saith that Caelestin himself in a Book set forth at Rome confessed Infants Baptizari in remissionem peccatorum secundum regulam Vniversae Ecclesiae secundum Evang lu sertentiam To this same purpose Aug. de peccat Orig ca. 17. And de Baptis contra Donatist l. 4. c. 23. If any man aske Divine Authority on this matter although we most rightly believe saith he that what the Universall Church holdeth and was not instituted by Councells but hath been ever held was not delivered but by Apostolicall Authority yet may we truly conjecture what the Sacrament of Baptisme performeth to Infants by Circumcision
