new content added: Apr. 20, 2009 The Whole Works of Rev. John Lightfoot, D. D. Master of Catharine Hall, Cambridge (1825 Edition in 13 Volumes) Hail & Fire REPRINTS 2009 EXCERPT: "We suppose, therefore, that men, women, and children, came to John's baptism, according to the manner of the nation, in the reception of proselytes; namely, that they, standing in Jordan, were taught by John, that they were baptized into the name of the Messias, that was now immediately to come; - and into the profession of the doctrine of the gospel concerning faith and repentance; that they plunged themselves into the river, and so came out. And that which is said of them, that they were baptized by him, 'confessing their sins,' is to be understood according to the tenor of the Baptist's preaching; not that they did this man by man, or by some auricular confession made to John, or by openly declaring some particular sins; but when the doctrine of John exhorted them to repentance and to faith in the Messias, they renounced and disowned the doctrine and opinion of justification by their works, wherewith they had been before-time leavened, and acknowledged and confessed themselves sinners." John Lightfoot Volume 11, page 66 (Hebrew and Talmudical Exercitations Upon The Gospel of St. Matthew)
