:“By this grace baptized infants too are ingrafted into his [Christ’s] body, infants who certainly are not yet able to imitate anyone. Christ, in whom all are made alive . . . gives also the most hidden grace of his Spirit to believers, grace which he secretly infuses even into infants.... If anyone wonders why children born of the baptized should themselves be baptized, let him attend briefly to this.... The sacrament of baptism is most assuredly the sacrament of regeneration” <br>—''Forgiveness and the Just Deserts of Sin, and the Baptism of Infants'' 1:9:10; 1:24:34; 2:27:43. —A.D. 408.<ref name=links/>
