To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We come now to examine the quotations Mr. Wood brings forward from the classics as exhibiting " several of its more prominent meanings or significations. " These passages are, doubtless, to be regarded as the most favorable to his position of any that Mr. Wood's 118 LECTUEES ON BAPTISM AND COMMUNION. helps enabled him to find. The first quotation brought forward is from Aristotle, and is as fol- lows : "The Phoenicians .... Came to certain desert places, abounding with rushes and sea-weed, whic...h at ebb-tide are not overflowed (baptizestliai), but which at full tide are deluged. " " No example can more clearly disprove the notion that this word denotes to pour or sprinkle a little water on an object. " The object here said to be baptized is totally buried under the water. The coast is said to be baptized when the tide comes over it and covers it with water. This use of the verb shows that it is used in the sense of covering or overwhelm- ing, not that of sprinkling or pouring. The tide did not sprinkle on the coast, or pour down a few drops of water upon it, but covered it, and overwhelmed it.
