- Baptism
- n. A sacred rite of such efficacy that he who finds himself
in heaven without having undergone it will be unhappy forever. It is
performed with water in two ways — by immersion, or plunging, and by
aspersion, or sprinkling.
But whether the plan of immersion
G.J.
Is better than simple aspersion
Let those immersed
And those aspersed
Decide by the Authorized Version,
And by matching their agues tertian.
