Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Treatise on Infant Baptism: Shewing the Scriptural Grounds and Historical Evidence of That Ordinance
This shews us the great necessity there is, that all the friends ofthe Church, should endeavour as much as in them lieth to preserve inviolate her admirable ritual and rubrics. For the slight est deviation, ia any particular, more especially in the subject matter of the following Treatise, may be attended with the most serious couse quences. The opinions ofthe world we know are Changeable but the word of God remaineth for ever. The book of Common Prayer, which in its language and doctrines has been in accordance with Scripture, three hundred years ago, is still in accordance with it. The charac ter of this coincidence and agreement cannot be changed: it will remain the same as long as truth and religion will continue in the World. Be assured therefore that every deviation from the directions of our incomparable Liturgy, re garding the administration of the Christian Sa craments, must inevitably be considered as a wilful neglect of wise and holy counsels.
