A friendly epistle to the reverend clergy and nonconforming divines, who greatly approve of my late epistle to Mr. George Kieth [sic] against plunging, and for sprinkling in baptism. Wherein is proved, I. That the proofs commonly brought for plunging are precarious and frivolous; and that there are more arguments against it then what I have yet named. II. That the face or head must be washt in baptism without other parts of the body, not other parts of the body without them. III. That it is more then probable, our baptism is of God, plunging not so, from the woful stamp found on the anabaptists first reformers. With a censure of an epistle to Mr. Keith, against mine to him, by a nameless man, (or men) whose silence here brings another thought to my mind against plunging. That it is made a plain, necessary duty, tho' the scripture be silent about any one precept, or example, or one good consequence for it; and therefore plunging being thus nameless is folly. By Trepidantium Malleus.

A confirmation of a late epistle to Mr. George Keith, and the reformed Quakers Against plunging in baptism, and for effusion, commonly called sprinkling. Wherein is proved, I. That plunging and whoring came in together; ... II. That notwithstanding the temptation many anabaptists, through a happy constitution, or the prevalency of the grace of God, are sober, chast, and serious. III. That it becomes all our honest maids, wives, and widows, to preserve their old baptism and chastity. With an epistle to a lay pedler in philology, oratory, and theology, Mr. Minge, about his deceitful title, and epistle in a book against me: whose name helps me to a thought against plunging. That it tends to, and actually doth, open the fountains of nature in men and women; and therefore is not, cannot be an ordinance of Christ, but a human, or rather diabolical invention. Also a censure of Mr. Judas Tull, his lampoon. By Trepidantium Malleus.
