- catalog description "I. Four directions to theological students respecting the manner of treating the subject of infant baptism -- preparatory considerations as to the kind and degree of evidence necessary -- The want of an express divine precept of declaration no valid objection -- This shown in regard to the Christian Sabbath, female communion, and the authority of some of the sacred writings -- II. Reasoning of the former lecture confirmed by particular considerations in favor of infant baptism : 1. Its suitableness to the relation of parents and children ; 2. This relation had been marked by a religious rite through the patriarchal and Mosaic dispensation -- That rite respected spiritual blessings -- Objection considered -- III. The Christian religion founded on the Old Testament Scriptures. We cannot conclude that Christ did not give specific instruction on any subject from the fact that such instructions are not recored. -- The Scriptures of the New Testament imply that the children of believers are to be baptized. Rule of interpretation; viz. we must put ourselves as far as may be, in the place of those who gave, and of those who received instruction. Circumstances of those to whom Christ gave the commission to proselyte and baptize all nations. How they must have understood this commission. Proselyte baptism -- General representation of Scripture and course of providence".

Whether there was any thing in the conduct of the Apostles, or any declaration in their writings, to aid us in determining how they understood their commission -- Household baptism -- I Cor. 7:14 -- VI. The argument recapitulated. Three additional considerations -- precepts requiring the education of children; silence of the New Testament respecting infant baptism -- and the feelings of parents -- proof from ecclesiastical history that infant baptism was practised by the early Christians -- VII. Baptism a substitute for circumcision -- Circumcision not applied to females; applied to servants -- seal of the covenant -- Difficulty arising from the difference between the former and the present economy, and from the requisition of faith -- Import of infant baptism -- Utility -- Standing of baptized children -- Duties of parents and the church".
