But, as Christ came to life again, so you rose with him, not to sin, but to live a new life.

Hear Dr.Watts on the passage: "Do we not know that solemn word, That we are buried with the Lord, Baptized into his death, and then Put off the body of our sin?
"Our souls receive diviner breath, Raised from corruption, guilt and death; So from the grave did Christ arise, And lives to God above the skies." I do not believe that the mode of baptism is alluded to at all in this text.
_Mr.K._ I cannot agree with you, sir.

The contrary is perfectly clear to my own mind.
"Mr.M.," said Mrs.Kelly, "do you think that you and Mr.K.would ever think alike on this subject ?" "Never," said I."People almost always end where they began, when they discuss this topic; only they do not always leave off in such good-nature as Mr.K.and I intend to do.

I never knew a person to change his views to either side, unless he began as an inquirer, and not as an advocate." "What is the reason," said Mrs.K., "that good people are left to differ so about unessential things in religion, when they all hold to the same way of being saved ?" "I suppose," said I, "that, as poor human nature is, for the present, more is effected, on the whole, by letting us divide into sects, and giving us each some external or speculative discrepancies to excite our zeal.

It is a sad reflection upon us, if this be so, and our sectarian behavior illustrates that hardness of our hearts, in view of which, perhaps, God suffers us to divide as we do.
