A38578	Anabaptism considered Wherein the chief objections of that sect against infant-baptism, and the manner of baptizing by aspersion, or sprinkling, are fairly stated and answered; and reasons given why dipping is not to be taken as the essential or necessary mode of administration. In a familiar letter of advice to a parishioner inclining that way. By William Eratt, M.A. and minister of Hatfield near Doncaster.	Eratt, William, 1655 or 6-1702.	1700 (1700)	Wing E3220; ESTC R200374	28,824	40

uncleanness_n upon_o they_o namely_o judaisme_n or_o heathenism_n i_o agree_v far_o that_o this_o custom_n be_v probable_o in_o use_n in_o hot_a country_n some_o time_n after_o christ_n and_o his_o
