Thus we see, in opposition to what you say, in the close of your third Chapter, that it is very plain and manifest, that dipping is absolutely necessary, and of the Essence of Baptism, it's [Greek or Hebrew]. Alas, Sir, in all the New Testament where we read of sprinkling, the Greek (as I said before) renders it rantizing, not baptizing: […] Christ has ordained Rantism, to represent the sprinkling of his Blood, or the sprinkling of his Spirit, prove it; we deny it, and have sufficiently proved he has appointed Baptism to represent his Death, Burial and Resurrection, and that sprinkling is not baptizing. But for a farther Satisfaction of the impartial Reader take a few Syllogistical Arguments.
