infant baptism at an early date. Governor Winslow wrote of the Baptists, in
1646, "We have some living among us, nay, some of our churches, of that

Massachusetts were Baptists, and they were as holy and watchful and faithful
and heavenly people as any, perhaps in the world" (Mather, Magnalia, II.459).
