" He thfk is washed, needeth noe save to wash his feet, but is o\0fi every whit ;" tV «. the validity of the aot does not depend upon the applioatioa of wftter to every part of the person. "Bnt»" say our Baptist brethren, "that is apart of our ease ; for the Qreek word for aprinkle. is rhantigo, and not bapttm." I know it» and Paul knew it, too; and yet be OSes the terms sTnonymoasly. It will be seen* by nf&i^ ring to Heb. ii. 10, compared with the I3th verse of the same ohai>ter, that the "divers washings" (bapHmoii) epoken of in v. 9, are taid to have bSeien performed by tiM **nrinkling {rhantiKouti) of the blood of bolls and of goatt, ftod the aihes of lUt heifer," nnon the ooolean, (v. 13); and yet, I presume, no one will dispute Paul's claim to good scholarship, orregard.it M «| •l).lBforior to thitd^ Carson, Cox, or Gale. ' , If it be ol^ected, that these " divers baptisms " do niiit inelnde the sprinklings of blood and ashee, but only tHe Jewish rites of ablutioo, we reply, first, that we require some proof that the liiaguage bas this reetrioted signflioar tion, since, if this otfedtion were true, the enumeration of ifae observances of the ancient ohoreh,^ in t; 10, woold con- taioDot the sUffhtestatlnsibn to the blood/ sacrifices vrhieb were, coiifessedly, the most important of them all.

Among those who have " nut on Christ,"—*. «., dedicated themselves to him— the Apostle savs, "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there Is neither b(md nor free, there is neither male nor female, for ye are all me in Christ Jam." Gal. iii. 28. Again he says, " In Ohrist Jesns neither circumcision availeth anythrag, nor nncircumoision ; but/adA wAwj* iswAtstt 6y tow." Gal. t. 6. Asain "Ye have pat on the new man, which is renewed ^knowledge after the image of Him that created him ; where there le neither Greek nor Jew, eirenmcision nor un- ciroumoision,. Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free, but Chri$li$ cMandin aU» Col. iii. 10, 11. AnAgnce more, •^ God forbid that I should glory, save in the iwes of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but a fiMortaiurei and as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God." Kl vi. l4-ie. ^ V- ^ '^ A * r n. • *t 'Furthermore, the parties to whom the Apostohc Epistles were written, wens addressed as believers,— saints,— holy, and beloved,— their mieiiwliialure, and not their (op^Mm, bdfaig recognized as their chief distinction. ^ They are com- manded to receive one another in the ftith, and not to doubtfol disputation, the grand motive presented being that God had'received them. Their esMsntial unity is spoken of as eonsiiting in their having beeikv^ baptized, not in one moie* as our Biiptiat brethren seem to understand it, but " fttf me Spirit, into one body,"— the body of Ch^fist 1 Cor. jdi. 13. Indeed, we hardly know where t6 bepn or where to end in add^t^g quotations in support of thia point There can be nothing more dear, one would think, than that evidence of Mth in Christ was made by ihe^ Apoetles the «ofe condiHon of tiamh membership; baptism is never ^once hinted at in snoh a oonneetion. And that, we main- tain, should be the only terin of communion among christians now. What should any ohureh want more I Who shall eall them uncjean whom " God hath cleansed?" lb) The Lord's Supper was instituted, and observffl; dMe the institution of Christian Baptism ; hence those ynui first partook of it, must have done so unbe^fOiged. When, let me a^k, did Christian baptism ori^nate? Clearly not until 'i|/ief the death of Christ, while the Sapper was institoted Mw it.
