Excerpt from Four Lectures, Delivered at Worship-Street Meeting-House Near Finsbury Square, London: During the Month of March, 1826, on the History, the Subjects and Mode, the Perpetuity, and the Practical Uses of Christian Baptism
The General Baptist Committee, appointed by the general assembly, first suggested these Lectures in the autumn of 1825, and after their delivery requested their publication. With this application the preachers cheerfully complied, under the hope of imparting still greater usefulness to their joint labours. 'the reader may be gratified to learn, that some individuals became candidates for Baptism at the close of the Lectures; and it is the fervent Wish of the committee, that on their perusal from the Press, others may come forward in differ ent parts of the vineyard, thus spreading far and wide the triumphs of scriptiiral christianity Indeed, the Volume is humbly designed, by explaining and recom mending a much-neglected rite, to promote the glory of God, the honour of the Redeemer, and the eternal welfare of Mankind.
