was : done tiy washing or spriii kling . These terms were adopted by Christian professors to express the retati ve states of believers and unbelievers ; the outward act pif Christian profession being baptism . The observation which follows , respecting the qhilr dren , seems to imply that the children
of a believer are already holy or privileged persons : can there then have been occasion for baptism , to bring them into a state in which they already were , in consequence of the act of the parent ? Had they been holy by the act of baptism , the apostle would have ascribed their
sanctification to that rite , but he does not ; for it is in consideration of one parent being a believer and a baptized person , that he declares them to be holy : hence , I should infer , that baptism was not employed at all with . .. the children of believers . LI .

good deal of mischief is done by adhering to a term , which , to say the least , is unnieaning and totally misapplied . What must an indifferent person suppose on reading " The Presbyterian ministers will dine with the friends , of the Lancashire and
Chp $ frir < e Unitarian Book Society , " bufcthpt ,: on some account ,, a distinction was intend ^ ? I am not aware that the term is continued in any other district ,, and . am of opinion , that an
adherence to it is not only improper , but has a tendency to disunite the friends to Unitarianiam , wbjqh has * ao abundance of opprobiousepitlieUfrom ito enemies , without being obliged ; ta complain o / internal diyi ^ iona . ' A > CQI ^ STA MX RJBADJER ., ! ' . ¦ . r . i .
