A treatise of baptism: wherein that of believers, and that of infants, is examined by the Scriptures. With the history of both out of antiquity; making it appear, that infants-baptism was not practised for three hundred years, nor enjoyned as necessary, till four hundred years, after Christ: with the fabulous traditions and erroneous grounds upon which it was, by the Pope's canons (with gossips, chrysm, exorcism, baptizing of churches and bells, and other popish rites) founded. And that the famous Waldensian and old British churches, Lollards and Wickliffians, and other Christians witnessed against it. With the history of Christianity amongst the ancient Britains and Waldenses. The second edition with large additions. By Hen. D'Anvers.
