Gerardus Aemilius, a Reformed pastor and also a physician at Oud-Beijerland in the Dutch province of South Holland, had a dispute at this town on Sunday, 18 April 1663, with Tieleman Jansz van Braght, the Mennonite elder of Dordrecht and the author of the Martyrs Mirror. The debate, which pertained to the question whether or not infant baptism is scriptural, lasted from six o'clock in the evening until two at night, attended by a large concourse of the people. At this hour, Aemilius broke off the dispute, and was not willing to continue it publicly on the following day. It had been the stipulation of van Braght that it be held "with open doors in the church of the Reformed or the Mennonites." On 20 June of that year Aemilius visited van Braght in Dordrecht and kindly requested that they "no longer dispute quarrelsomely with each other, but debate in friendly discussion." A copy of the document of the dispute held in Oud-Beijerland is to be found in the [[Amsterdam Mennonite Library (Bibliotheek en Archief van de Vereenigde Doopsgezinde Gemeente te Amsterdam)|Mennonite archives at Amsterdam]].
