Quest. 45. What is a proper Violation of our Baptismal Covenant?
Answ. Note well, that there is a wide difference between these questions, 1. When doth a man 1miss of, or lose his present part in the Covenant or Promise of God in the Gospel? (This is as long as he is Impenitent, an Unbeliever and Refuser.) 2. When doth a man totally lose his part 2and hope in that Promise or Covenant of God, so as to be •yable to all the penalty of it? (That is only by final Impenitence, Unbelief and refusal, when Life is ended.) 3. And when doth a man violate his own Covenant or promise made to God in baptism? Which is our present question. To which I answer.
