Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Letters Explaining the Abrahamic Covenant: With a View to Establish, on This Broad and Ancient Basis, the Divine Right of Infant Baptism; And the Question Relative to the Mode of Administering This Christian Ordinance; Addressed to the Members of the Second Presbyterian Church, in Philadelphia
Positive ordinances of religion are sovereign appointments of the Great Head of the church. Antecedently to their institution, the actions re quired by them may be indifferent or even unlaw ful; but being ordained, they become as really binding on conscience, as any moral precept. Enjoined by such high authority, they cannot be disregarded, without involving a violation of that fundamental principle on which all laws, whether moral or positive, rest: viz. The Obligation of a. Creature to Obey the will of his Creator.
