Proceeding to the close of the century, we will
close with the conclusion of Jacob Mehrning, which
is a reply to A. Mellinus, who did his best to show
that the Waldenses did not well accord with the
Anabaptists in the article of baptism. Mehrning
replies to him as follows: “Abraham Mellinus (in
his large Nederlandtsch Martelaers book) dared
to say: ‘The Waldenses would not agree with the
so-called Anabaptists in the article of infant baptism.’
But the good man forgets that he himself has adduced
testimonies from Bernard, Peter Cluniacensis,
and from the Madgeburg Centuries,[166](/en/stories/mm-footnotes/part-12/#Footnote_166) which refute
and condemn this supposed error of the ancient
Waldenses, namely, that they should have believed
in infant baptism.” Bapt. Hist, p. 736.
