Summary: "The Baptism of the Prince: A Sermon by John Alexander" is a religious discourse written in the early 19th century. Preached at Prince's Street Chapel in Norwich on January 23, 1842, the sermon reflects on the significance of the baptism of the Prince of Wales and supports the practice of infant baptism within a Christian context. The author articulates the theological underpinnings and the spiritual meaning of baptism, particularly in relation to children, emphasizing its importance as a sign of God's covenant and grace. In this sermon, John Alexander addresses the significance of infant baptism as a sacred rite that connects children to the church from an early age. He draws upon biblical references to highlight Jesus's compassion for children and argues that they should be brought into the faith community through baptism as a demonstration of parental devotion and God's promise for their spiritual upbringing. He critiques certain practices associated with the baptismal ceremony in the Church of England, such as the concept of baptismal regeneration and the role of sponsors, asserting that these detract from the personal responsibility of parents. Alexander concludes by urging parents and baptized children alike to embrace their roles within the covenant community and to commit to cultivating a deep, personal faith in God.
