洗礼

解説

付記

水に浸す方式が良いのか、 それとも水を振りかけるだけで良いのか―― それは浸された者と、 振りかけられた者とが、 『正典』を拠り所にし、 三日おきにぶり返す熱で比べて決めればよい ―― G.J.

Original

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.

Additional notes

But whether the plan of immersion Is better than simple aspersion Let those immersed And those aspersed Decide by the Authorized Version, And by matching their agues tertian. G.J.
