If you would, saith Dr. Du-Veil, attend to the proper Signification of the word; in the Synod of Caelichyth, Anno 816. where Wolfred Archbishop of Canterbury presided: Let, saith he, the Presbyters beware that when they administer the Sacrament of Baptism, they do not pour Water upon the Heads of the Infants, but let them be always plunged in the Font according to the Example of the Son of God himself, who was plunged in the Waters of Jordan. Thus must the Ceremony be performed according to order: See Dr. Du-Veil on the Acts, Chap. 2. p. 5, 6, 7.
