2. Are not all those Persons that a testator in his last Will and Testament leaveth out, or expresseth not, excluded from having any Legacy in the said Will; now the great Commission, Mat. 28. Mark 16. is also Christs last Will and Testament, about the right of Baptism, viz. who are right subjects, and they are expressed by their qualifications, viz. Disciples, or ⟨p. 230⟩Persons Taught, or such that believe, are not therefore all unbelievers, all Pagans, and ungodly persons, and ignorant Babes, that are not capable to believe, excluded from Baptism, according to Christ last Will and Testament; it signifies nothing to find Infants right to Circumcision under the Law, nor other the external privileges of the Seed of the Faithful then, for that was a Legacy given in the Old Will and Testament, which is abolished by Christ, making his New and last Will and Testament; in which the Infant Seed of Believers, are left out as touching any right they have now in Gospel times to be Members of the Gospel Church or to Baptism, &c.
