In the ages succeeding them, it was no doubt the general mode of baptism. But it was never practised exclusively. During a period of many centuries, sprinkling was held to be valid baptism by the great body of Christians ; and evidences of its practice are to be found in the testimony of the most distinguished men, reaching back to the earliest historical ages of the church. Let the reader consult Erasmus, Zan- chius, Calvin, Martin Bucer, Thomas Aquinas, Gratian, Ber- nard, and the writers gen...erally of the sixteenth, fifteenth, fourteenth, thirteenth, twelfth and eleventh centuries, and he will find ample testimony to this fact. Walfri^dus Strabo A. D. 850 — the venerable Bede, A. D. 670 — Aurelius Pru- dentius, A. D. 390 — severally speak of sprinkling as valid baptism. Prudentius represents John as baptizing by pouring, In the year 337, Constantino the Great was baptized by sprink ling. The fathers of the third and fourth centuries, Gregory Nazianzen, Eusebius, Athanasius, Basil, Lactantius, beai witness in various ways to the practice and validity of sprink- ling.
