THE ARGUMENT.

By holy baptism we are in Christ, in his death, burial and resurrection. This is proved by Rom. 6, 3 5.

Justification is connected with baptism, and sanctification is the blessed consequence. This is evident from the testimony of St. Paul, Rom. 6, 3 5. He saith, ' Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptised into Jesus Christ were baptised into his death ? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death ; that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection.'
