Letter IIAtMterdam ^ Rev . Sir * December 6 , 1792 * THE observations which you have communicated [ to ] me , in a letter signed 8 Nov ., have , I think , the state of [ the ] question better fixed . The
question is now coincident with , or depends only upon , another question , viz . How far Jesus and the apostles ^ in using the language and phraseologies of the country * may he supposed to have accommodated themselves to the opinions adopted by the Jews ?
The year past , we have received in [ the ] Dutch language , of the learned Society of Teyler , at Haarlem , two Dissertations on this important subject : the authors of which are JP . van Hemert , Professor [ of Philosophy and
Literature ] by [ among ] the Remonstrants , and W . de Vos , minister by [ among ] the Baptists at Amsterdam . A large recension of them 1 have seen in the last Appendix to the -Monthly Review . * Perhaps some of your learned divines have likewise written on this subject * Your Dissertation upon the Unitarian Hypothesis I received , after
* See N . Ann . Reg . 1792 , XIII . p . 305 . The questions proposed by the Society were , u Did not Christ , in his discourses , and the evangelists and apostles , in their writings , sometimes accommodate their expressions and arguments to the popular notions then prevalent ? If so , in what particular instances , and how far did they act thus ? Of what use is this hypothesis , Wei ) defined and rightly apprehended ; in explaining the Scriptures of the New Testament ?"

seudingv my last letter to you , tot which Tj bin obliged to you . None of the ministers of the Baptist congregations of this country baptize infants , but only adults , on the con * fession of faith . The Remonstrant *
do both . But the Baptists , tho' they [ do ] not perform this rite to the infants , exercise , notwithstanding , an universal ecclesiastical toleration to all Christians of every denomination , and therefore do invite to the holy
communion , all them who profess the name of our Lord Jesus Christ ; for which reason , they have not any other confession of faith , which they do sub * scribe , $ s [ except ] the holy Scri p ture . But not all Baptists do practise this universal toleration ^
The Tite of laying on hands , on the person baptized , is not usual by thfc Baptists ; because the supernatural workings of the Holy Ghost are only restraint at [ to ] the first age of ' the Christian Church .
To your last request concerning the church discipline , it * is sufficient , 1 think , to remark , that we confortfi [ conforming to ] the preeedin g Universal confession of faith , cannot exercise a strict church discipline , and so never excommunicate any body for erroneous opinions .
These brief remarks , I hope , will be sufficient to your requests . Wishing you health and happiness , I-afxi , with sincere esteem , Your friend , G . HESSEL 1 NKThe Rev * W . Ashdowney JBaptist Minister , Dover .

to me , have so occupied my leisure , that I have scarcely had time to attend to my owi * immediate concerns . Yet do not think me busied in public affairs . Neither tuy health , strength , nor political inforcnation , wotifd allow this * And when I recollect , that now
