1. Ans. I answer, you do your Business effectually, if you can prove, that so soon as the Father believes, Salvation comes to belong to all that are in his House; I thought you argued for some external Privilege, ⟨p. 194⟩only for the Children upon their Parents Faith; but it appears, 'tis no less then Salvation it self, even eternal Salvation; for it was such a Salvation that came to Zacheus that day. O happy Children of Believers if this were true! For then it follows, that all the Children of the faithful must of necessity be saved, whether they in their own Persons believe or not; nay, and happy Servants too, for they must all be saved, because part of the Family; but what credit is there to be given to a Man that talks after the manner as you do, is this true or false? for what do you mean less then what I say and doth; Eternal Salvation come to all in that Family or House, when the Head of it doth believe, you ought to repent for spreading such grand errors among the People.
