An Answer is given to the Socinian Arguments against Baptism; and to Dr. Lightfoot's Defence of Sprinkling. III. It is proved, That all Antient Baptisms of the Gentiles, the Jews, and Primitive Christians, were performed by immersion; and Aquinas's Exceptions against immersion, are Answered. To which is Added by way of Appendix, Dr. Williams's letter concerning the great cure he lately performed by Cold Bathing. And a Letter against the Inoculation in the Small Pox.
