How, then, can we deny their practice on the subject of infant baptism, when it is established by a series of more numerous instances than can possibly be found in support of any doctrine, principle, or practice, derived from the practice of the apostles ?" But you will ask him (said Dr.D.), how he proves that there were infants or young children in the households baptized by the apostles.
This is his answer: "Is there any other case besides that of baptism, where we would take families at hazard, and deny the existence of young children in them?
"Take eight families in a street, or eight pews containing families in a place of worship; they will afford more than one young child." _Mr.M._ How does he make out eight cases of household baptism by the apostles?
_Dr.D._ Let us examine his list: 1.

Cornelius.
2.

Lydia.
3.

The jailer at Philippi.

"Thus the church at Philippi, just organized by the apostles, and consisting of but few members, offers two instances of household baptism." 4.Crispus.
