A87722	A short treatise of baptisme. Wherein is declared that only Christs disciples or beleevers are to be baptised. And that the baptising of infants hath no footing in the word of God, but is a meere tradition, received from our forefathers.	Killcop, Thomas.	1642 (1642)	Wing K440; Thomason E1113_1; ESTC R210166	5,025	17
