No prior complete English translation of this text has been found.
Extensive searches across multiple scholarly catalogs (UNESCO Index Translationum, Open Library, Google Books, Internet Archive, and OpenAlex) yielded no results for an English translation of Petrus Yvon's 1683 Dutch treatise on baptism. Given that Yvon is a relatively obscure 17th-century theologian, it is highly probable that no English translation exists.

Petrus Yvon’s radical 17th-century treatise challenges the very foundations of nominal Christianity by arguing that indiscriminate infant baptism corrupts the Church. Through a blend of rigorous theology and mystical insight, Yvon invites readers to rediscover the 'Enclosed Garden' of a pure church, where baptism is not a mere ritual but a holy seal reserved for those showing true signs of regeneration.
