CONCLUSION<br />
I have thus endeavored to state the doctrine<br />
of Scripture respecting <strong>baptism</strong>, <strong>and</strong> have<br />
considered particularly the argument in favor<br />
of infant <strong>baptism</strong> from the <strong>covenant</strong> made with<br />
Abraham. I trust it will appear, that on this, as<br />
on other subjects, the word of God is a lamp<br />
to our feet, <strong>and</strong> a light to our paths.<br />
We have seen, that the signification of the<br />
word baptize, is established by the most<br />
undoubted evidence; that there is no difference<br />
respecting it among the best scholars; that its<br />
meaning is ascertained by the practice of the<br />
Greek church, <strong>and</strong> by the uniform testimony<br />
of antiquity, by the allusions made to <strong>baptism</strong><br />
in the New Testament, <strong>and</strong> by all the language<br />
there used concerning it. So that we have fuller<br />
evidence on this subject than on many others,<br />
which few are disposed to dispute.<br />
