Zwingli, great Protestant Reformer: In the Sixteenth Century he wrote: "The institution of Ana-Baptism is no novelty, but
for thirteen hundred years has caused great disturbance in the 'church.' "
Mosheim, a great Lutheran Historian: "The first century was a history of the Baptists. Before the rise of Luther and Calvin
there lay concealed in almost all countries of Europe persons who adhered tenaciously to the principles of the Dutch
Baptists,"
"The true origin of that sect which acquired the name 'Ana-Baptist,' is hid in the remote depths of antiquity, and is
consequently difficult to be ascertained." ~ (Century Sixteen, part 2, chapter 30).
Alexander Campbell: "The Baptist denomination in all ages and all countries has been, as a body, the constant asserters
of the rights of man and the liberty of conscience. They have often been persecuted by Pedobaptists; but they never
politically persecuted, though they have had it in their power." ~ (Alexander Campbell on Baptism, p. 409, editions 1851,
1853).
"Clouds of witnesses attest the fact, that before the reformation from popery, and from the apostolic age, to the present
time, the sentiments of Baptists, and the practice of Baptism have had a continuous chain of advocates, and public
monuments of their existence in every century can be produced ." ~ (Campbell - McCalla Debate, p. 378).
"The Baptists can trace their origin to apostolic times, and can produce unequivocal testimony of their existence in every
century can be produced." ~ (Campbell's Debate with Walker).
Benjamin Franklin, a minister, "If popery were born too late, or it is too young, to be the true 'church' [assembly], what
shall we say of those communions born in the past three centuries? They are all too young, by largely more than a
thousand years. No 'church' [assembly] that has come into existence since the death of the apostles can be the 'church'
[assembly] of the living God."
John O. Ridpath, Methodist, Historian: "I should not readily admit that there was a Baptist 'church' [assembly] as far
back as A.D. 100, though without doubt there were Baptists then, as all Christians were then Baptists." ~ (Jarrell's
"Church Perpetuity," p. 69).
Cardinal Hosius, a Catholic dignitary, spoke these words at the Council of Trent, A.D. 1554: "If the truth of a religion
were to be judged by the readiness and cheerfulness which a man of any sect shows in suffering, then the opinions and
persuasions of no sect can be truer or surer than those of the Ana-Baptists; since there have been none for these twelve
hundred years past that have been more grievously punished."
~ (Orchard's History, p. 364.)
