This is a reprinted edition of ⿿Lay Baptism Invalid⿝ from 1723, to which is added ⿿Dissenters' Baptism Null And Void,⿝ with additions and illustrations. This volume addresses the contentious theological debates surrounding the validity of lay baptism and the status of baptisms performed by dissenting religious groups. Originally penned by R. Laurence (1670-1736), and edited by William Scott (1813-1872), the work reflects the ecclesiological controversies of its time and provides valuable insight into the historical context of religious practices and beliefs within Christianity. The arguments presented shed light on the perspectives and disputes regarding the sacrament of baptism and its proper administration, making it a key resource for understanding the development of Christian doctrine and the dynamics of religious dissent in the 18th century.
