A dialogue, concerning the practicall use of infant-baptisme: penned, and published for a profitable diversion from the hot and eager disputes of this age concerning the lawfulness, to an holy improvement of the grounds, and practice thereof. As also, for the satisfactio of those who lay it aside altogether, or practice it coldly, and sleightly, because they know not of what advantage it is to a Christian practice. Whereunto is added a 2d dialogue on the same subject. By Simon Ford, B.D. and minister to the congregation at Laurence Church in Reading.
