Excerpt from The Presbyterian Expositor, Vol. 2: A Monthly Periodical; January, 1859 To me this seems to be a distinction without a diference. It is merely giving another name to the same argument. What is the argument derived from the right of circumcision It is that God made a spiritual covenant with Abraham, which is called the covenant of Grace; that the church, both before and after the advent of Mes siah, was under that covenant, but under difi'erent dispensations of it that circumcision, not a a civil, but a religious rite, was the seal of that covenant under the old dispensation, baptism under the new; that the former seal was, and therefore ought to be, applied to infants. Such being the argument, it matters not whether we name it an argu ment derived from the covenant, or from its seal.
