Chapter 3—On Baptism, Answering The Charge Of Disorderliness
Mr. Bridgman: "But as an ordination is a service similar to the first opening or anniversary of a chapel, I for one, nor I alone by many, consider the preacher quite as much breaking the rule of the Apostle, 'Let all things be done decently and in order,' as was Joseph in sprinkling an infant in the presence of John Andrew the dipper." My Reply: I never did know, and you are the first person who ever said within my knowledge, that an ordination is a similar service to that of opening a chapel, or to that of an anniversary: for, 1. At an ordination the church is required to give an account of the leadings of Providence, relative to their chosen minister, and this…

Chapter 2—On Baptism, Anserwing The Charge Of Dishonesty
Mr. Bridgman: "I ask was it candid, was it fair, when bills were sent round to Pseudo-Baptist chapels, with requests to ministers and people to attend (not an immersion, but) an ordination, was it fair in the preacher to turn the opportunity into a clap-trap, to draw away the weak and simple among our people into your pools of water?"

Preface
To the Church of Christ meeting for the worship of God in Mount Zion Chapel, Hill Street, Dorset Square, London. Dearly Beloved, It is well known to most of you, that on the 17th of October, I attended the ordination of our brother Wycherly, at Crosby Row Chapel, King Street, Southwark. And that the part of the service assigned for me to take, was to state the nature of a gospel church. I took that part, as many of you were present to witness, and as I have for years considered, and do now consider, that such services are most decidedly sentimental, and demand us to be more than usually explicit and pointed on the principles by which we are distinguished as a denomination, and…
