To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In that water he washed away the stains of his past life. Beneath it he was buried with Christ ; from it he rose to newness of life. It was hardly a metaphor, it was 1 Lucretius, v. 1202.
Lect. V. ] in the sacraments 107 almost a literal fact, to say that lie was dead, that he was born again, that he had passed out of darkness into the light, that he had been initiated. He entered upon a new career, among new friends and associates, with new interests, new hopes, new motives, a new and all- per...vading affection.
What a comj^lete contrast, to all outward appear- ance, to modern Baptism ! An unconscious infant is brought to the font, often as a mere concession to custom, often in consequence of much pressure from the clergyman or his agents ; not uncommonly we find persons who do not know whether they have been bap- tized or not ; very rarely is Baptism thought of by modern Christians as an epoch in their lives. AVe still keep the old phraseology ; we still give thanks to God that tlie child is regenerate, we still pray that he ''may lead the rest of his life according to this beginning ; " we still teach children to say that in Baptism they were made " members of Christ, the children of God, and inheritors of the kingdom of Heaven ; " but to most persons this language is unreal, it answers to no kind of spiritual fact of which they are conscious.^ And may we not trace the reason of this in the history of the Church ?
