A reply to some essays lately published by John Cotton, Esq; (of Plymouth) relating to baptism. Wherein it is attempted to shew, that the practice of persons owning the covenant, (as it is called) and enjoying baptism for their children, while they neglect to come to the Lord's Supper, is unscriptural and of dangerous tendency. Also, a vindication of the author from several injurious aspersions contained in Mr. Cotton's remarks on some letters that passed relative to this point. By Chandler Robbins, A.M. Pastor of the First Church in Plymouth. [Seven lines of Scripture texts]
