To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
in the administration of John's baptism? — I apprehend it was. Was such immersion the whole of John's baptism ? No. Was immersion of the like kind continued among the primitive Christians ? Many expressions in the New Testament have a clear and unimpeachable reference to that preparatory rite. The Apostle describes the Corinthians, 1 Cor. Vi. 11, as being washed and sanctified. Having our bodies washed with pure water, Heb. X. 22 : let us hold fast the profession of our faith. Christ sanctified... and cleansed the church, Eph. V. 25, by the washing of water. He saved us by the washing of regeneration, Titus iii. 5, and the renewing of the Holy Ghost. Does the term baptism ever occur to express these washings? Not that I can discover. The nearest ap- proach I know of is that by the Apostle Peter. Baptism doth now save us, not the putting away the filth of the flesh; 1 Pet. Iii. 21, but the stipulation of a good conscience to- ward God. The Apostle evidently divides the rite into two distinct and contrasted parts ; the first of which, washing, he says, has no consequence salutary to the party on whom it is performed ; but the second, an engagement to maintain a conscience void of offence toward God, is salutary to a person of whose solemn profession it forms a part.
