Description: Engraving from William "Parson" Brownlow's book, The Great Iron Wheel Examined, showing a Baptist preacher changing clothes in front of several shocked and disgusted women after performing a Baptism. Brownlow was attacking the Baptists' "immersion" method of Baptism, which involves entering a stream and submerging the convert, as opposed to the Methodist method of sprinkling water over the head.
