To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Rational beings as we are constituted, and having for the subject of our enquiry the influ- ence of moral causes upon christian character, it is natural to suppose that baptism, as above defined, if it sustains the relation attributed to it, could be shown to exert some direct influence upon the candidate to qualify him for a church member, of which any other could be shown to be deficient. But, to our knowl- edge, no such attempt has ever been made. If we ask for any such influence to be exhib...ited, flowing from the baptism of water, establishing the supposed connexion, we are always turned off with the cold as- sertion that it exists, without being afforded the least gleam of light into either the nature or extent of the supposed influence. We conclude it must be bevond the investigations of moral science, so as to elude ob- servation ; or else, what is more probable, entirely the creature of imagination. The assertion is made, however, with unabated confidence, notwithstanding!- all this, that this connexion exists, and it is thrown upon Scripture for its final support.
