Obj. The Scripture calleth upon some to believe before they are baptized, He that believeth and is Baptized, shall be saved, Mark 16. 16. and according to that Rule the Apostles did not baptize any until they believed, Acts 2. 38. This is the Second Objection Mr. Owen brings, against what he hath wrote, take his Answer, viz.

(Saith he) when the Scriptures saith that he that believeth and is baptized. 1. It mentioneth Adult Persons, viz. the unbelieving, Gentiles unto whom Christ sent his Disciples, Mark 16. 15.

But what is this to the Seed of the Faithful, of whom Christ mentioneth not.
