    The baptism of Christ, a Gospel ordinance: being altogether inward and spiritual: Not, like John's, into Water; but, according to the real nature of the Gospel, into the very name, life, and power of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Shewing that the Apostles' use of Water Baptism was by no means as an Ordinance of Christ, but as the Baptism of John; and that all who are baptized into Christ, have put on Christ, not only professionally but substantially-that is, have put him on as the whole Armour of Light, and walk in him in newness of Life. By Job Scott.

    Scott, Job, 1751-1793. | Date: 1794
