52, iv pp. Toned with scattered foxing, disbound. Good+. Contemporary ownership signature at head of title, "Timothy Woodbridge." Reverend Dickinson, founder and first president of the College of New Jersey, later Princeton, was a leading advocate of infant baptism. Whether infants should be baptized was a major controversy in 18th century religious circles, and Dickinson did not lack for opponents, who also contributed pamphlets on the issue. God's covenant with Abraham, says Dickinson, "was the covenant of grace. . . and that one of the obligations of this covenant was, that it should be sealed to infants in their earlier infancy." Evans 17136. ESTC W9603.
