The reasons given for this change arc, that in the countries we read of in Scripture, from the warmth of the climate, bathing in water is commonly practised, a!id there is not the slightest danger or risk ; but in our colder countries, all that is intended by this outward sign is crjually shown by the pouring of water Now this and more to the same effect may be said for ' the pouring of water, ' rather than 204 CHAPTER XI. dipping in water/ sufficient to satisfy any scrupulous mincl, •where mer...cy or charity requires it; hut ichere they do not, IT IS BETTER TO ADHERE TO THE PRIMITIVE CUSTOM, both. because it was the ancient and general practice, and because it more fully bears out the fulness of the sign of washing. Moreover, immersion in water has always been considered to imply the death unto sin, the being buried with Christ, as the Apostle says in baptism (Rom. 6:4; Col. 2 : 12), as set forth also in those figures of old, when they seemed, as it were, overwhelmed and buried in the midst of the waves of the Red Sea; or when the Ark of Noah was in the midst of waters above, below, and on every side, the windows of heaven pouring down the flood, and the fountains of the great deep opened below.
