Fascinating document, unfortunately a few pages missing.

P15, have I misread it, or is he really comparing JND with Moses in this way?! 

Just like Moses he also failed, but his failure in its consequences had been fraught with far more disaster to the people of God than the failure of Moses had been.

Later on JB Stoney,

I will relate here that when Mr. Stoney tried to convert me to Infant Baptism through the means of an artificial construction of sophistry, I replied to him : there are four words which would knock down your artificial fabric. He asked what these four words were,  and I answered : “ It is not written ! ” “ Never in my life have I seen such a man,” exclaimed Mr. B. Stoney, “who wants the Word of God for everything ! ” I asked him whether it was probable God should expect from the simple and the unlearned among His child ren that they should know anything to be His will, which they would have to guess through an artificial construction of logical conclusions (so called). If it were His will that infants should be baptized, would he not have said it in His Word. The many props you need to keep your system upright, only show that it must be a tottering fabric, for otherwise you should have need of no other props than the three words: “ It is written.” Thereupon he re plied to me by another long chain of artificial conclusions, continu ing without awaiting my answer and hastily adding: Are you floored now? Where is my taper? Good night.
