And albeit that the little children can not have faith by the hearing of the word of God, as the great may, yet notwithstanding, this sacrament doth not appertain only to those that are of years and are capable of the preaching of the Gospel, and have already made profession of their faith, or are in age to do it, but it belongeth also to their children, because they be comprised in the alliance,¹ the which their parents have with God, thorough the virtue of the promise that he hath made them. Wherefore the Catabaptists and all others that reject little children from baptism, do them wrong, and do frustrate in that respect the virtue of God his alliance, for the Children of the Christians are in no worse case than were those of the Jews, whom God would not have shut forth from circumcision, in stead whereof the Christian Church hath now baptism.

ANd albeit that the little children can not haue faith by the hearing of the word of God, as the great may, yet notwithstanding, this sacramente doth not apperteyne only to those that are of years and are capable of the preaching of the Gospell, and haue alredy made profession of their faith, or are in age to do it, but it belongeth also to their children, bicause they be comprised in the aliāce,¹ the which their parents haue with God, thorough the vertue of the promise that he hath made them. Wherefore the Catabaptists and all others that reiecte litle children from baptisme, do them wrong, and do frustrate in that respecte the vertue of God his aliance, for the Children of the Christians are in no worse case thā were those of the Iewes, whome God woulde not haue shut forth from circumcision, in steade whereof the Christian Churche hath now baptisme.
