Tenth Century

But since Berengarius, who opposed not only transubstantiation and the mass but also infant baptism, was afterwards charged with having absorbed and obtained his belief from Johannes Scotus, the aforementioned martyr, we may conclude that this martyr must have opposed infant baptism; otherwise it could not be said in general terms that Berengarius absorbed or obtained his views from J. Scotus, which is nevertheless frequently and confidently asserted by ancient writers. With this we will take our leave of J. Scotus, and also of our account of the martyrs of this century, since this is enough for the well-disposed—for the evil-disposed we care not; and so our soul shall rest, and content itself with the pious.
