Excerpt from Four Sabbath Evening Lectures on the Mode and Subjects of Baptism: Preached in November and December, 1834; Before the Church and Congregation to Which the Author Ministers Again some of the advocates of immersion, being unable to meet the Scripture proof we bring in favor of affusion as the mode, resort to the artifice of raising questions about Infant Baptism. For example one of their ablest champions, remarking upon passages that bear only upon the mode, repeatedly throws out in sinuations like this Is it possible to believe that there were any infants included in this account? And again - It is impossible that this account Should afford any pretence for Infant Baptism. Now this method of avoiding the force of truth is exceedingly dis ingenuous and disputants never resort to it, when they can de fend their cause with substantial reasons.
