A second friendly epistle to Mr. George Keith, : and the reformed Quakers. Who are now convinc'd, that water baptism is an ordinance of Christ, to continue to the end of the world. But are enquiring about the mode, and form of administration; whether by effusion or plunging. Wherein is proved, (with the approbation of some of the most learned divines in London) I. That John the Baptist, and Peter the Apostle, declare that they plunged not. II. That plunging is contrary to the doctrin of baptism; and therefore is no lawful baptism. III. That if plunging were a duty, and commanded by Christ, our brethren the Anabaptist practise it not, and so are self-condemned on their own principles. Humbly offer'd to the consideration of all the baptized congregations in England; and also of the dipt ones. By the reformed Quakers old friend, Trepidantium Malleus

The answer of Giles Firmin, to the vain and unprofitable question put to him, and charged upon him by Mr. Grantham, in his book, entituled, The infants advocate: : viz. whether the greatest part of dying infants shall be damned? Which advocate, while he shuts all infants out of the visible Church, and denies them baptism, opens heaven to all dying infants, justifying those of his party, who admit them all as he doth, into heaven without regeneration. The preface may be very useful for the children of godly parents·

VVater-dipping no firm footing for Church-communion: or Considerations proving it not simply lawful, but necessary also (in point of duty) for persons baptized after the new mode of dipping, to continue communion with those churches, or imbodied societies of saints, of which they were members before the said dipping; : and that to betray their trust or faith given unto Jesus Christ to serve him in the relation and capacity, whether of officers, or other members, in these churches (respectively) by deserting these churches, is a sin highly provoking in the sight of God.
