thors . Tb # y are professedly intended to iuyitevdiseiission and weH calculate * to answer that end . About a qjiart ^ f of a centurv aeo , I closelv considered :
the nature of Baptism . The wa « U ^ " 0 & my inquiry then , is still present td e ^ mind , and as it coincides with the object of these lectures , I semt ttiy ideas for the Monthly Repository , -
I then thought , and think so still , that Infant Baptism is justified neither by the Scriptures nor by- the practice of believers in the first three centuries - I therefore agree with the first and second Lecturers with regard to the history and nature of Baptism . The first took a wide and laborious
surrey of the subject , and , with a felicity peculiar to himself , he has brought together a number of interes t * ing facts which cannot fail to edify and command the gratitude of lki $ readers . The whole sermon , indeed , is in unison with the character and
temper of that most estimable and amiable man . My second proposition is , that Baptism , though a diyine institution , ia no part of Christianity : it being fulfilled in Christ , and so fulfilled it was cancelled by him . Here I directly encounter the third Lecturer . His
discourse is well conceived and vigorously expressed and shews throughout the zeal and the energy of an honest , independent mind . Though he is not to be charged with intolerance or want of candour he treats
his adversaries with too little ceremony , nor is it yet necessary to differ from him on the subject , to be of opinion , that there is more confidence than solidity in his arguments .
The Jews expected that when the Messiah promised to their forefathers had arrived , he was to introduce , $ 9 characteristic of his claims , a specie * of baptism which should wash all diseases from the bodies , and all irti *
purities from the minds of his folio u ' ers . The question put to John by the Pharisaical delegates , supposes the notoriety of this expectation . " Why dost thou baptize , if thou be not the Christ , nor Elias , nor the *
Prophet ? " John i . 25 . The Ianguage of the Baptist himself addressed to JNj 8 ii « supposes at . € < I haw ntmi to be baptized by ¦ thee > and why comest thou to ai&W &s the wtedfttt * of heaven thou ^ Hi fit to prepare ih «
