Excerpt from A Discourse on the Nature, the Proper Subjects, and the Benefits of Baptism: With a Brief Appendix, on the Mode of Administering the Ordinance What profit is there of circumcision? Much every way; chie y, because that to them were committed the oracles of God. Romans, iii. L, 2. The rites and symbols instituted by Christ in his church, are, on account of their simplicity, apt to appear to the men of the world unworthy the majesty of God. But, to a true believer, occupied with the sublime and spiritual ideas which they represent, they carry to the heart the most affecting impressions of his condescension and grace. This is especially true of that simple baptismal washing which our blessed Sa viour has been pleased to introduce as the seal of the new dispensation of his grace, instead of the bloody and painful rite, by which his ancient covenant with Abraham, and with Israel was confirmed. What can. Be more simple? Yet, when God condescends to em ploy it as a symbol of his mercy, and a vehicle to us of the most important truths, it acquires, in the esteem of the believer, an unspeakable grandeur and impor tance. And if we can enter rightly into the spirit and design of this institution, we shall perceive it to be fraught with manifold blessings to the church.
