Excerpt from An Humble Essay on Christian Baptism: With Two Letters to the Rev. Stephen Addington, Concerning the Subjects and Mode of Baptism Hough it appears fo very clear that the baptifm of believers is re commended in fcripture, both by preeept and precedent, yet many, who, as appears by this their conduet, do not fulfi Ciently regard that facred book, deride thole who praetife it. Hereby fome fincere Chrifiians who would follow the lamb whitherfoever he goeth, are often confufed in their ideas, and dil'tre 'ed in their minds, if not mifguided in their praefice. It may be allowed, that very much cannot well be laid, more than has be fore been faid on this fubjeet; yet it is hoped, that could a few thoughts, in ealy and fami liar language, fuited to the capacities ofcom mon readers, be once more offered to View, it might, under the bicfiing of God, have a happy tendency to difcover the error of thole vain perlons, who, alas delight in reproach ing what they know little of; to fatisfy fome inquiring fouls, and ef'tablifh fome weak minds, with regard to this ordinance. With this View the following remarks are humbly, and in the fpirit of meeknefs, fubmitted to con fideration.
