Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dartmouth, 1844, Vol. 5 In 1805 - 6 and 7 the subject of Infant Baptism was much agitated, having been brought Up by Rev. Daniel Merrill of Sedgwick, Me, who had been educated a Pedo Baptist minister, but had arrived at a change of views res pecting the proper subjects of Christian Baptism. He pub lished a book of ten sermons in explanation and defence of his views. This publication, which speedily ran through eight or ten editions, drew forth several replies. It was at this time that Dr. W. Preached and gave to the public a discourse on the perpetuity of the Abrahamic covenant. Founded on the sentiment of the Apostle Paul: If ye are Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. The point maintained was, that though the Mosaical law was temporary, yet not so the covenant of Abraham; that it is continued under the Christian dispen sation, agreeably to the Apostle's doctrine, the law which was 450 years later than the Abrahamic covenant could not disannul the latter. This discourse was exceedingly well received, and led to a public controversy between the nu thor and the Rev. Thomas Baldwin, D. D., of Boston.
