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

they_o be_v judge_n in_o the_o confirm_a pledge_n or_o seal_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v as_o general_a with_o regard_n to_o the_o precept_n else_o some_o person_n may_v receive_v the_o lord_n supper_n
