Agreeably to this view, there is no danger in teaching that all the baptised have put on Christ. In the first place, it is an unspeakable consolation to desponding and mourning souls, when they are informed that they have an undeniable right to Christ, inasmuch as they have put him on in baptism. In the second place, the ungodly may be informed, that they by baptism indeed have put on Christ ; but their conduct indicates that they are abusers of their legacy, and unfruitful branches in Christ, the living vine ; and in case they do not believe and reform, they must, notwithstanding their high privileges which they are entitled to enjoy, perish forever.
