13 ¶ “Let no man say when he is tempted, I am
tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with
evil, neither tempteth he any man:

when he is drawn away of his own lust, and
enticed.
15 Then when lust hath conceived, it
bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is
finished, bringeth forth death.”

Ecclesiastes 9 s 4
4 ¶ “For to him that is joined to all the living there is
hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion.
5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know
not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the
memory of them is forgotten.
6 Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now
perished; neither have they any more a portion forever in
any thing that is done under the sun.”

the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and
he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out
of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from
Jerusalem.

people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their
spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against
nation, neither shall they learn war any more.”

LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither

4 But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with
equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the

ARTHUR .P. STANLEY
[DEAN OF WESTMINSTER]
FROM ‘THE NINETEENTH CENTURY’ OCTOBER 1879
“For the first 13 centuries the almost universal practice of baptism was that of
which we read in the New Testament, and which is the very meaning of the word
‘baptise’ – that those who were baptized were plunged, submerged, immersed
into the water.”
“….the whole of the western churches have now substituted for the ancient
bath the ceremony of sprinkling a few drops of water on the face. The reason of
the change is obvious.
The practice of immersion, apostolic and primitive as it was, was peculiarly
suitable to the Southern and Eastern countries for which it was designed, and
peculiarly unsuitable to the tastes, the convenience, and the feelings of the
countries of the North and West.
Not by any decree of council of parliament, but by the general sentiment of
Christian liberty, this great change was effected………”
“It is a striking example of the triumph of common sense and convenience over
the bondage of form and custom.”
“It shows how the spirit which lives and moves in human society can override
even the most sacred ordinances.”
