A historical polemic that examines infant baptism, the call for rebaptism, and the rights of children within the church.

The work presents a clear defense of infant baptism and argues against the practice of re-baptizing, using scriptural reasoning and references to covenantal faithfulness.

Written as a rigorous response to contemporary objections, the text frames the issue as a matter of church membership, covenant, and the proper administration of the sacraments. It weighs arguments for keeping babies within the church’s covenant against challenges that seek to reframe baptism as only for those who can profess personal faith.

Plain explanations of why infants are welcomed into the church through baptism and how that relates to covenant promises.
Clarifications on the difference between the sacrament itself and its administration, with attention to continuity and fidelity to Scripture.
Discussion of the risks and implications of rebaptism within the Christian tradition.
Context for early modern debates about baptism, church membership, and salvation.

Ideal for readers of early modern religious controversy, church history, and theology who want a concise view of arguments surrounding infant baptism and rebaptism.
