There is, therefore, throughout the Prayer Book a beautiful agreement with the Bible. They both, in hortatory passages, assume regeneration where faith has been professed, and the sacrament administered. They both in doctrinal statements teach distinctly that baptized persons are not all regenerate. The Churchman needs no more than this agreement for the satisfaction of his conscience. There may be one or two expressions which he may wish could be so modified as to make clear at a glance the Church’s meaning without the necessity of comparing them with the Articles. But still, on the great Protestant principle of the sovereign supremacy of the Bible it is enough for him that the Liturgy is scriptural, and that the Word of God has supplied the model for its construction. It is scriptural in its silence, in its assumptions, in its assertions. It says nothing where the Bible gives no guide, and therefore makes no distinction between adults and infants; it assumes where the Bible assumes, and therefore speaks of all baptized persons as regenerate; and with the Bible as its authority, it asserts, in language the most unequivocal and explicit, that baptized persons are not invariably regenerate, for that the gifts of divine grace are not invariably connected with either of the sacraments which God has appointed in His Church. * * * * * * * * * * J.
