Excerpt from Infant Sprinkling No Baptism: Being a Refutation of Mr. C. Paget's "Godly Practice of Infant Baptism"

The writer of the pamphlet which is the subject of the following pages is an estimable, sincere Christian; and in nothing here penned would I call this into question. But how' unfit he is for a controversialist will be seen in'the sequel. I have felt called on to take up the argument, because more than one of my tracts are quoted or alluded to.

His pamphlet consists of sixteen sections, beside an Introduction, and an Appendix which treats mainly of another subject. As I study brevity, I shall pass lightly over those which do not contain argument.

We are both agreed, that controversy, even between believers, is necessary, and that legitimate inference from Scripture 1s a sound foundation both for doctrine and practice.

But he has done injustice to the arguments he professes to cite, in more instances than one, by not quoting the words. In this I shall not follow 'him, but shall either give' the words, or a reference to the page on which I make my attack.
