Martyrology was written in Dutch
language by T. Won Bracht and con-
tains the record of the martyrdom Of
thousands OF Baptists who "baptized
in houses" with @water poured on the
head out of basin. - Not one Of |
these martyred Baptists would pass
for Baptists in this country. I have
also the complete works of Meuno
Simon, first printed in 1889 A. D.
He is called by DR.. R. Robinson
Baptist) the father of the Dutch
Baptists. But Meuno 'sbaptized
with handful Of water applied"
Not much clipping Or immersion" in
that ''action of baptism !' Meuno
Simon's teaching has been basely per-
verted and prostituted by Morgan
Edwards and j. Newton Brown, both
Baptists.
Now the first Baptists in Eng
land were all disciples of Meuno, or
of Bleaurock and Grebel, and were
all sprinklers. And that is the rea-
son that when the Baptists began to
practice dipping submersion it was
found that they chad no administra-
tor to begin the pracrice with" DIR.

serts that the ''original baptism had
been lost" Che don't say when or
where it was lost, nor who lost it)
and it chad to be restored by some
unbaptized person dipping some other
one" have before me the "His-
tory of the English Baptists," by
Rev. B. Evans, D. D., and in vol. 2,
p. 70 he speaks of the Baptist church
'fas the infant cause, over which VIM.
Rifin exercised vast and varied in
fuence" This was in 1914 This
is confirmed by DR.. Featley's book,
(printed in 1646) which is now before
me. He calls clipping over head
and ears" a new leaven of Anabap-
tism.' 1t will require too much
space to print all the records I have.
But if disciple" Or any of his back
ers will deny over their own proper
names these statements of mine and
will set a convenient day I here
pledge myself to come to Mexico and
prove from contemporaneeus records
that dipping over head and ears''
was not practiced by the Baptists till

Pengilly (Baptist) in his "Scrip-
! ture Guide to Baptism - p. IA, makes
an argument to prove that Johns
} baptism was by immersion because
| the people from Jerusalem had to &c
, to the Jordan river. He says they
: might have been sprinkled in the
city, but they were required to go te
the river; therefore, says Pengilly
the dipper, Johns baptism was by
3 immersion" Pengilly seems to
have been sadly in the dark about
the vast variety of convenient () dip
