PhD: Twitter quote 65

Now to be clear, my Reformed leanings favour Believer's baptism, more so than infant baptism, within an Anabaptist position.
But my British PhD thesis work required a significant level of objectivity in research:
Twitter version I
G.W. Bromiley writes that Irenaeus (ca. 130-ca. 200) and Origen (ca. 185-ca. 254) were Church Fathers that could be traced back to the Apostles, and these men practiced infant baptism. Bromiley (1999: 116).
Twitter version II
If Irenaeus did practice infant baptism, this would trace the practice to the second century.
