A dissertation concerning the baptism of Jewish proselytes: In which are Shewn, Who they are of the Proselytes of the Jews, said to be baptized; what the occasion of this Dissertation concerning the Baptism of them; what proof there is of any such custom among the Jews, before, at, or near the times of John the Baptist, Christ and his Apostles, or any age after, before the Third and Fourth Centuries of the Christian aera; that the only proof of such a practice is from the Jewish Talmuds and Talmudic Authors; and that therefore Christian Baptism cannot be taken from, and founded upon, Proselyte-Baptism among the Jews. By John Gill, D.D. This Dissertation was first published at the end of the body of practical divinity; and is now re-published, seperately, at the desire of some, for the sake of such who may not choose to purchase the larger work.
