To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
E. God has commanded it, with the promise that if we obey, he will forgive us our sins by baptism and faith the blood of Christ ; [in obeying this command, we have our cojisdence wit- nessing, that we are forgiven:] this also corresponds with the words of Paul when he says that the blood of Christ (" by faith") shall purge {or purify) our wmcience from dead works to serve the living God. The foregoing definition of the word baptizo, to mean purify is not there given by sectarian manufacturers o...f Lexico7is, but by St. John, an " eye witness, " who was chosen by the Son of God himself, to be a witness of the truth. And he in the iii. 22, testifies that baptizing is ptirifying (not death nor immer- sion. ) Thus we here have the meaning of the word baptizo, when applied to the ordinance of water baptism, positively fixed by the New Testament to mean '■'■ purify y And this is undoubt- edly the meaning of it in Mark vii. 4, where it is translated ''wash:'* Now the mode (or " manner") of ptirifying fixed [not by the prejudice of man, but) by the " Scriptures'' is thus: '* take the Levites from among the children of Israel and cleanse them, and thus shall thou do unto them to cleanse them ; sprinkle water of PURIFYING 7/po?i them;" Num.
