Differences in Judgment about Water-Baptism no Bar to Communion.
SIR,
Your seemingly serious reflections upon that part of my plain-hearted Confession of Faith, which rendereth a Reason of my freedom to Communicate with those of the Saints and Faithful, who differ from me about Water-Baptism, I have read, and considered, and have weighed them so well as my rank and abilities will admit me to do. But finding yours (if I mistake not) far short of a candid Replication; I thought convenient, not only to tell you of those impertinences everywhere scattered up and down in your Book; but also, that in my simple opinion, your rigid and Church disquieting-Principles are not fit for any Age and state of the Church.
