{268b} From Miss Mortimer’s communications. {284} From the inscription by Dr. Bentley, on the pedestal of the sublime statue by Roubiliac, in the Chapel of Trin. College, Cambridge. {287a} Drawn up for the use of the candidates for confirmation. {287b} The word Sacrament is not found in Sacred Scripture; but it signifies an _oath_: and the Christian ordinances of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper were very early designated by this term, by some of the fathers; because the dedication of ourselves to God in these ordinances is as binding and obligatory as a solemn oath. In the Roman style, it signifies a most solemn and inviolable engagement. {287c} _Baptism_ under the Christian dispensation corresponds with, and was instituted in place of, _Circumcision_, under the Jewish dispensation: and the _Lord’s Supper_ corresponds with the _Passover_. {298} After stating that it was Mr. Mortimer’s delight to visit his people, Mrs. M. informed me that his nervousness was so great, that pastoral visiting was a duty he rather dreaded than delighted in. How faithfully then must that duty have been performed when thus imagined to be his delight!—_Note by the Author_.
