CHAP. XIX.
Containing an Answer to Mr. James Owen's 16th Chapter, proving that our Objections against Infant-Baptism are very weighty, and his Answers to them very impertinent and defective.
MR. Owen begins with his Sixteenth Chapter after this manner, viz.
Thus have we proved by the Scripture (saith he) and by several Scriptural Arguments, that the Children of the Faithful ought to be baptized: if we look upon this Truth in the Light of the Scriptures Above, the Objections of themselves will vanish away; yet for the sake of the Weak, I shall lay down the strongest of them.
1. Object. There is neither a Command nor Example in the Scripture for the baptizing of Infants.
