This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1884 edition. Excerpt: ... Baptism precedes the Holy Communion; thus its type in Genesis must precede the eating of the tree, and this is what I now wish to trace out. quickening of the new man. It has its outward visible forms and acts. It implies the act of one who is alive. Baptism is termed regeneration--the being born again. It is the seal of the entry into the Body of Christ--the Church. It is termed a burial and resurrection, the putting off of the body of the flesh (Col. ii. 11, 12).

Genesis leaves man dead in trespasses and sins, separated from God, consequently deprived of the Holy Ghost's indwelling presence. Therefore Baptism is the sacrament which calls man to life--raises him, while the Communion of the Lord's Supper keeps him in life. Man was left in Genesis dead from eating; Baptism raises him from the dead, and Holy Communion gives him of the tree of life. I would notice that in Baptism is an element--water--a material substance, which is applied to the body of man. In Holy Communion are the elements, bread and wine, which are absorbed by the body of man. Eating connects the Holy Communion with the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Water must be the connexion of Baptism with some event prior to the fall, and that event is creation. The history of man is creation, eating, death; resurrection or new creation, or regeneration, eating, and life eternal. So we must examine creation to find the meaning of Baptism. "In the beginning, God created the heavens and earth, and the earth was without form and void, and the Spirit of God moved on the face of the waters." By the word of God, the earth was...
