Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Plain and Familiar Treatise on the Mode of Baptism: In Which It Is Shown That Sprinkling Is the Scriptural Mode of Administering That Ordinance Author of a small pamphlet entitled Definitions of the Greek Bapta, Baptizo, Baptisms and Baptismos.the sacred scriptures have been studied with an earnest desire to be led in that way which was agreeable to his mind and will, and the result, at least as far as the present subject is concerned, will appear in the following treatise. Aside from the triteness of this subject, there are some considerations which operate upon my mind against giving it to the public; but the desire and prospects of being useful in the. Church as far as my feeble efforts may go, have preponderated in favor of preparing this treatise for publication. The learned reader will not find much in the execution to gratify his taste. I have particularly aimed at instructing and convincing the plain and unlettered part of community. Having been called, in a cer tain period of my life, to converse much upon this subject with different descriptions of characters, I was enabled to learn, in some measure, their mode of thinking, and what manner of presenting the trmh to their minds would be most likely to succeed. Hence I have used such plainness of speech - fulness and repetition in argument, as, in my opinion, were thought necessary and best calculated to accomplish my object. How far I have succeeded the result must tell. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
