I say these are knocking Arguments indeed, if they be but as solid as they shew for, but for all that let us see a little for our money before we part with it, and hear what their Arguments are in words at length, and not in figures, if it chance to prove as you say they say, and as they say indeed in this particular, viz. that it is Murther and Adultery to dip as we do, I assure you in the word of a Minister and a Christian, that hopes to be saved in the way of innocency, as well as your selves, that dipping, as it is no idol of mine, for I adore it no otherwise then I ought to do every ordinance of our onely King, Priest and Prophet Christ Jesus, for his sake that ordained it, so it shall never be adored so much as to be owned more by me, but be abhorred rather with deeper decestation, then I dispense it with affection to this houre; but I believe that their proof will fall wondrous short of so high a charge, as they venture to charge us with, be pleased therefore since you mention it in gross, to repeat their Arguments more at large, which I dare say your memory is more tenacious of then of any other, and I shall examine them as exactly as you shall desire me.
