The History of Infant Baptism: In Two Parts (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The History of Infant Baptism: In Two PartsThe passages produced in the First Part are all that I have met with in authors that wrote in the four first centuries; saving that in St Austin's works there are, as I said, a great many more, but all to the same purpose.In some collections of this nature I have seen several other quotations pretended to be out of authors within the said term. But they are either -1. Out of such books as are now discovered to be forgeries of late years. Or,2. They are nothing to the purpose. Or,3. Wrested and altered by those that cite them to another sense than what they carry in the authors themselves. Or,4. Such wherein the author does not say that for which he is cited; but he says something from whence the other does draw it as a con sequence, and then sets down that consequence, as if it were the authors own words. Or,5. Quotations absolutely false.First. Out of such books as are now discovered to be no true works of the authors whose name they bear, but forgeries of later years.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
