Excerpt from A Treatise on Baptism: Also a Treatise on Confirmation
Many years ago, when I was a missionary in Kentucky, where much discussion about baptism took place, especially between Baptists and Methodists, I was invited by. A Bap tist minister named Clack, to occupy his pulpit in Bloom field, with a view to treat of immersion and infant baptism, which a Methodist preacher had a short time previously discussed. I thought proper to decline the offer; but I took occasion to preach on those subjects, on four succes sive Sundays in the Cathedral of Bardstown, and after wards published the substance of those discourses. About nine years ago, I gave to the public a short treatise on baptism, formed in a great measure of the same materials, adding, however, a special inquiry into the use of water as its necessary element, which is denied by the Friends, among whom I then resided in Philadelphia. The edition of this work being exhausted, I have revised and corrected it, making some additions, and omitting some things which do not come into controversy.
