Book Description
Excerpt from Dissertation on the Scriptural Authority, Nature, and Uses, of Infant Baptism So long ago as the year 1807, I published Three Lectures on Romans iv. 9 - 2 5. Designed chiefly to illustrate the nature of the Abrahamic Covenant, and its connection with Infant Baptism; with an Appen dix, on the Mode of Baptism. - It was my first publi cation and, afterthe lapse of seventeen years, I have seen very little reason to alter or to modify the gene ral principles of that work - A Review of it appeared, in the end of the same year, from the pen of the late Mr. Archibald Maclean of Edinburgh, a man held in just estimation, not by his own party only, but by all who knew him, for natural acuteness of intellect, close application to the study of the scriptures, and general consistency of character. I was satisfied that my main positions were unshaken by the objections and counter-reasonings of the reviewer and the chief consideration that prevented me from then replying was, the time it would necessarily occupy, which, I thought, might, on the whole, be more profitably employed. I am not now sure, whether this was a correct judgment. A desire has repeatedly been expressed to me for the republication of these lectures. I could not, however, think of publishing them again in the same form. The great business of an expositor, I am fully aware, ought to be, to give a clear View of the scope, or main design, of the writer whom he expounds, and to show how his reasonings establish, and his illustrations elucidate, the point of which he treats. All matter that is not immediately relevant for this end, ought to be either omitted entirely, or very spar ingly introduced - if touched, not dwelt upon. The reason why this principle was departed from in the lectures, was one which I then thought, and still think, sufficient to justify the deviation. It is obvi ous, that the same principles, which a writer lays down, as the foundation of the conclusions which it is his object to establish, may often, with equal fair ness, be made the basis of other conclusions, besides those which are at the time in his View and princi ples settled by Divine authority it is, on this account, as well as for the sake of the inferences actually de duced from them, of the highest consequence to ascer tain. We then have at least determinate premises and have only to show how they bear us out in our deductions. Now, it may happen, that at the very time when a minister, in the regular course of ex position, arrives at a particular passage, the minds of fellow-christians, in his own religious connections, or more extensively, may be occupied and agitated by.

Book Description
Excerpt from Infant Baptism: Its Nature and Objects The commonly received doctrine of the Reformed Churches, as to the nature and object of baptism, is concisely and comprehensively stated in our Shorter Catechism Baptism is a sacrament wherein the washing with water in the name of the Father, and Of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, doth signify and seal our ingrafting into Christ, and partaking of the benefits of the covenant of grace, and our engage ment to be the Lord's. This definition, put into the mouth of a believer, is evidently intended to include infant baptism; and we will best attain the end of our present investigation, by examining the place which is here assigned to it, by inquiring to what extent, or in what sense, the representation here given of this ordinance as a Sign and seal harmonises with the view which Scripture warrants us to take of baptism as administered to infants.

Book Description
Excerpt from Infant Baptism, Founded Upon Scripture and History First, then, infants require to be baptized. As the whole of my argument is based upon Scripture, 1 must refer the reader for a moment to the tenth chapter Of the Gospel according to St. Mark, and to the thirtieth and the two fol lowing verses, where we read, And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them; and his disciples rebuked those that brought them. But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for Of such is the kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein. And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them.

Book Description
Excerpt from Infant Baptism: Its Origin Among Protestants and the Arguments Advanced for and Against It The Roman Catholic Church, it is well known, does not accept the Scriptures as the final authority in matters of faith and practice; the church (the pope) is held to be a higher authority than the Scrip tures, hence it is not inconsistent with the funda mental principles of this church to advocate doctrines that are not based on Scripture. The Protestant churches, on the other hand, are generally supposed to consider the Scriptures the sole rule of faith and practice and to reject that Which is not founded on Scripture. Nevertheless it is generally known that Protestant denominations defend infant baptism, though this practice is never mentioned in Scripture and prominent historians of the said denominations agree in the testimony that the baptism of infants was foreign to the thought of the apostolic church and was first introduced more than a century after the founding of the church.
