Dr. RuJJel Then you deny my Wmr, which is ^he thing<br />
you (hould have done before, -only you were<br />
afraid of being<br />
brought to give an Inftance, Now by denying my wj/wor, you<br />
fay ic*s fomewSere fo recorded in the Writings of the New<br />
Teftament, that Pml did declare the Baptifm of Infants tvo be<br />
a Gofpel-Inftitution,d^i?. And, to prove it Is nor, I argue thu..<br />
y If it be fo recorded in the Writings cf the New Teflament,<br />
then Mr. Liigh or fome body elfe is able to fhew k.<br />
But neither Mr- Leigh^ nor any body elfe, is ab;e fo flievv it.<br />
ErgOy It is not fo recorded in tiie VVrirings of t-he New Teftament.<br />
Sir, I have now brought it to an Uaiverfal Negnire, as I<br />
did with Mr. Chandler upon the former Argument ; and<br />
now it refts upon you to produce your Inflance.<br />
Mr. Leigh. 1 will fay it is in the Commillion All Nations,<br />
Dr. Rufel. Are you of Mr. Chandlers Ojjinion?<br />
Mr. Leigh. I will not anfwer you.<br />
Dr. Rufel. Then I fay it is^ not writfen in the CommifTioa<br />
that Paul did ever declare any thing concerning the Baptifm<br />
of Infants.<br />
But what do you bring this for now ? you might have<br />
done it upon thd firft Atgument, when we were upon the<br />
Commillion ; but it's wholly <strong>im</strong>proper now ; for this that<br />
we are now upon, is, Whether the Apoftle Paul hath any<br />
where fo declared it.<br />
Reader, Obferve thefs mens Trifling, Do they not know<br />
as well as we, that the Commlflion of our Lord for Hoiy<br />
Baptifm was given long be-ore PWs Converfion ; and yet<br />
they have the Confidence to affirm before fo great an Auditory,<br />
That it is written in the Commiffion, that P^«/ did de^<br />
dare the Baptifm of Infants to be a GofpeJ-Infticution,<br />
which is the thing exprefled in my Argument.<br />
d^c,<br />
Upon this the Reverend Mr. Chandler, (who had quitted<br />
the Work before^ began now in a great Fury to break Silence<br />
again, faying, You are a perfect Sophifter, your Arguments<br />
are full of Fallacy-<br />
Dr. P.ujffd. It is an eaHe matter for a man to fay Co, that<br />
underflands not an Argument h<strong>im</strong>feif<br />
Air, Ldgh. Then, pray Sir, begin again from ABs i%zj.<br />
Dr. Ruffel Truly, Mr. Leigh, I did not come fo many miles<br />
to fpend my T<strong>im</strong>e thus, to go backwards and forwards afrer<br />
this manner.<br />
Mr. Chandler. You muft do fo, If you underhand the Rules<br />
of Tergiverfation.<br />
