Letters explaining the Abrahamic covenant with a view to establish, on this broad and ancient basis, the divine right of infant baptism and the question relative to the mode of administering this Christian ordinance. This book, "Letters explaining the Abrahamic covenant," by J.J. Janeway, is a replication of a book originally published before 1812. It has been restored by human beings, page by page, so that you may enjoy it in a form as close to the original as possible.
