Under Mennonite See also:influence he went farther, and by See also:March 1609 when he published The See also:Character of the Beast, he had become a Baptist (see See also:BAPTISTS, See also:sect

II.), contending against See also:infant See also:baptism because (I) it has neither See also:precept nor example in the New Testament, (2) Christ commanded to make disciples by teaching them and then to baptize them
.
He and his See also:company were then faced by the See also:dilemma that their own infant baptism did not See also:count, and See also:Smyth solved the problem by first baptizing himself (hence the name Se-Baptist), probably by affusion, and then administering the rite to Helwys and the others
.
Afterwards with 41 others he decided that instead of baptizing himself he should have been baptized by the See also:Mennonites, in spite of their heretical view of the See also:Person of Christ, and applied for See also:admission to their fellowship
.
They were some-what suspicious of a man who had never held one position for See also:long, and demanded a statement of doctrines, which he gave them in twenty articles written in Latin, and in The Last Book of John Smyth, called the Retractation of his Errors, together with a See also:confession of faith in See also:loo Propositions
.
A friendly Mennonite al-lowed Smyth's church to meet in his bakery, but Smyth himself died of See also:consumption in See also:August 1612, more than two years before the remaining members of his See also:band, by then reduced to 31, were admitted (See also:January 1615) into the Mennonite communion
.
Helwys and Morton returned to See also:England, and established the first English Baptist churches
.
Smyth was, like the other Cambridge men of his See also:day, especially the Separatists, the bondservant of See also:logic, and wherever he saw " the beckoning See also:hand of a properly constructed See also:syllogism " he was ready to follow
.
Yet none of those who, in his See also:generation, took the See also:great step had, according to See also:Bishop See also:Creighton, " a finer mind or a more beautiful soul
.
None of them succeeded in expressing with so much reasonableness and consistency their aspirations after a spiritual See also:system of religious belief and practice
.
None of there founded their opinions on so large and liberal a basis." In his last See also:declaration he expressed his sorrow for the censures he had passed on Anglicans and Brownists alike, and wrote " All penitent and faithful Christians are brethren in the communion of the outward church, by what name soever they are known; and we salute them all with a See also:holy See also:kiss, being heartily grieved that we should be See also:rent with so many sorts and schisms; and that only for matters of no moment."
