Thesis IV.
It is past all doubt and contradiction, that the Infant-Seed of Abraham, under the second edition of the Covenant of Grace, were taken with their believing Parents into God's gracious Covenant, had the Seal of that Covenant applied to them, and were thereby added to the visible Church, Gen. 17. 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. ⟨p. 290⟩which was a gracious Privilege of the Covenant superadded to all the former, and such as sweeps away all the frivolous and groundless cavils and exceptions of those that object the incapacity of Infants to enter into Covenant with God, or receive benefit from the external privileges of the visible Church. Nor can the subtlest enemy to Infants Baptism, give us a convincing reason why the Infants of Gentile Believers are not equally capable of the same benefits that the Infants of Jewish Believers were, if they still stand under the same Covenant that the former stood under; and God hath no where repealed the gracious Grant formerly made to the Infant-Seed of his Covenant-people.
