Ergo, The^ifible Church is in part ma(?e up of little Gfailr
Ruffcl. There is fo much Nonrenfe in this Argument, I
fnow not well how to make Senfe of it : It feems to me little
o the piirpofe. But however. I will deny your Minor and
ay, Ir is good Senfe to fay, that little Children belong to the
kingdom of Qlory. .

Mr- Leigh. I fay it'sNonfenfe to underftanl Itotherwife.
And uoon this he defired, that a^l rhore who were fati^^ied
with what he had faid fliould hoV up their hands. And of
that great Multitude, there was but a very few that did it :
So
that it-was manifeft they were not fatisfied with what he had
faid.
:
Mr. Williams. Is it Nonfenfe then to fay, that any Infants
belong CO the Kingdom of Glory ?
Mr.Vetgh. Yes, while they are in their Infant State; for
trhtn arrived to Glory they are perfeft as grown men, whatever
they were on Earth. Otherwife we muft fay that there
are Infants of two foot long, poor, weak, ignorant things m
Glory : Therefore it muft be thus taken, for we muft make
good Senfe of Scripture.
Mr. miliams. I deny your minor, and fliall form an oppoflte
Argument thus
_
If infants are neither Members of the Univerfal vifiDle
Church, nor yet of a particular conftituted Church, then they
are not members of the vifible Church at all
-. , .
,,
But they are neither members of the Univerfal viUble
Church, nor yet of a particular conftitured Church;
Therefore they are not members of the villble Church at all.
Mr. Ltigh took no notice of this Argument^ but Jaid, It did
not belong to a Rcfpondent to form an Argument.
To vph:ch Mr. Williams replfd. My Work is to clear the
Truth ; I will not be ty'd up to your Rules oi Oifputarion.
M'-. R3''/«j^« required an exprcfs prohibition of Infants
C'liarch memberfiiip.
Mr. Williams reply d, That is fine indeed ;
Pray give us an
cxorefs prohibition of baptizing with Cream, and Spjtrle, and
Salt, and Ovl and the ufe of the Crofs in Baptifm: (all which
;
you rejea j and of many things more that might be brought
ir.ro the Worlhlp of God. j^nd to this m Reply was made.
