Suppose that it does.

Supper means a meal; therefore, one does not "eat the Lord's Supper," unless he eats a full meal; for, if baptize refers to the quantity of water, supper refers to the quantity of food and drink in the other sacrament.

He then seems to exult, and says, "I am glad that I am not in conscientious subjection to any mode of doing anything in religion, as being essential to the thing itself." _Mother._ What answer can be made to this?
_Mr.M._ It is a very common ground, and a convenient one, to answer the argument from _baptizo_, and the early practice of immersion in the Christian church after the apostles.

No doubt the early Christians satisfied themselves with this reasoning, in departing from the apostolic practice of sprinkling.

But I prefer to adhere strictly to the New Testament model.
