Ans. It is but very lately then; a Gentleman told me he well remembered the dipping of Infants; the Common-Prayer-Book doth not lay it by, but that leaves you to use it, or sprinkling. I thought Baptizing had been the command. Can there be no Baptizing but by dipping? will he affirm it, that the Baptizing of the three thousand in Act. 2. and the Jailer and his Family, Act. 16. was by dipping? It is all one to me whether by dipping or pouring of water, Ezek. 36.25. What Mr. Falkner would gather from the praying and prophesying uncovered, 1 Cor. 11.4. I know not, it is our practise he knows, though I have seen a French Minister Preaching with his Hat on; would he have it that Paul from a private spirit did give this Rule contrary to the practise of other Churches who had used to pray and preach covered? For Order and Decency, which Mr. Falkner mentions, I never opposed it; nor doth this concern our question.
