Excerpt from A Treatise on the Subject of Baptism: Designed Principally to Guard the Serious Inquirer After Truth, Against the Sophistry of Campbellism In presenting the following sheets to the public, it may be proper, in conformity to the custom of the age, to detain the reader with a long apology: but as I have only discharged my duty, as I conceive, I have therefore no apology to make. I have thought that the doctrines which are advanced in this, our day, and especially in the vicinity in which I reside, calls aloud for something on the subject of baptism different from what has heretofore been published, therefore I have made the effort, feeble as it is, in the name and fear of God. I have not been so anxious to elicit original matter in these sheets, but rather to collect and arrange that which, in many instances, I find made ready to my hand, and, for this reason, I have given many extracts from the pens of various authors. In quoting Mr. Campbell. I have, in some instances, confided in the veracity of those authors from whom I have quoted, but these instances are but few, for I have quoted the major part from his own pen. All I want in this matter is for the reader to weigh impartially the arguments herein presented, having the bar of prejudice removed from the mind, and when this is done, my object will be accomplished. May the God of all grace lead both the reader and writer into the way of truth and light, and ultimately to glory, is the prayer of the author.
