We believe, with the whole ancient Church, that not only adults who have declared that they repent of their sins and believe in Christ, but also their little children, must be admitted to the sacrament of baptism, since the covenant also concerns them.
Girolamo Zanchi | De Religione Christiana Fides, 15.4.
