Let the brethren remember their covenants, and let them bring their
offspring to the altar, and there consecrate them to God, through the
ordinance of sprinkling; and if they are to be saved, they will be
saved. Otherwise, though not a span long, they will go down to the
bottomless pit.
_Elder Longface._ Brethren,--The subject of my discourse will be found
in the following text: "Whom he did predestinate," &c.
We learn from this,--1st, That we are sinners. 2d, We need a Saviour.
3d, That we must be baptized by immersion. 4th, That we should exclude
from the communion-table all such as are not immersed. 5th, That many
are called, but few chosen. 6th, That those who are chosen will be
saved, without their own action in the matter. 7th, That those who are
not chosen will be damned, no matter what they do, in and of their own
strength; and lastly, in order to have the least opportunity to be
saved, you must join the Baptist Church.
The Lord grant that many may embrace the truth as it is in Christ Jesus,
and unite with "our church," and be saved. The brethren will sing,--
"O, when shall we see Jesus," &c.
_Father Boniface_ [with pages, robes, candles, &c.]. _Te Deum laudamus._
[They sing.] O Divine Queen of the skies, Holy Mother of God, to thee we
lift up our voices. Grant us thy divine intercession with thy dear Son,
that we, through his precious blood, may be made clean. Bless thy
believing children, make them faithful to their Holy Father the Pope,
diligent in counting their beads, and saying their matins and vespers. O
Holy Mother, keep them from all sin; especially grant them grace to eat
no meat on Friday, and we will ever adore and bless thee, Father, Son,
and Holy Spirit. Amen.
Let the choir sing _Ave Maria_. _Benedicite._
[_Enter_ SATAN.
_Satan._ Good-morning, brethren. I love you all; you are my friends. I
am gratified to find you so faithful in assisting me to build up my
kingdom. Rest assured, you shall be rewarded. You shall be kings and
princes when I succeed in setting up my throne upon the Earth.
[_Enter Apostles_ PETER, JAMES, and JOHN.
_Peter._ Why dost thou tempt the children of men, and lie in wait to
deceive them?
_Satan._ "Let me alone. What have I to do with thee," thou follower of
Jesus? I know thou hast the holy priesthood of God,--
_Peter, James, and John_, [all.] And in the name of the Lord Jesus
Christ, and of the holy priesthood, we command you to depart from hence.
[The Devil foams, hisses, and rushes out, chased by the Apostle Peter.]
