That it is so (say you) doth clearly appear from our Saviour Christs carriage and department towards those little Children that were brought to him.
You say those Children were the Children of believers.
Answ. I deny it, see how you are able to prove it, there is no such thing recorded of them, viz. That they were the Children of believers: again, page 27. you say Christ did bless them with spiritual blessings.

Answer, Friend, may not you be found (as far as you know) to assert false things of Jesus Christ? Is it said he blessed them with spiritual blessings? but since you know so well, pray what spiritual blessings were they? You confess he did not Baptize them; did he them give them habitual Faith for that blessing you plead for to be in Infants? Reader, 'Tis evident Christs way of healing the Sick, was by putting or laying his Hand on such, how do we know but it was the blessing of healing, he prayed for, and blessed them with? but Mr. Shute tells us; God out of the Mouths of Babes and Sucklings hath perfected his praise, page 23.
