Do you believe what you seem to affirm did the never see nor hear of any Person that Christ had cured, sure you cannot imagine any such thing; the could not have believed unless she had some good Ground, did she not know the power of Christ was great, if we had but heard of one Infant baptized by Christ or his Apostles upon the Faith of their Parents, as we find some Children were healed by the Faith of their Parents, we should not be such unbelievers as we now are about Infant Baptism.
You say the Woman of Canaan comes boldly with her Child unto Christ for to receive benefit, though she was not invisible Covenant with God, and Christ commended her Faith, and received her Daughter, her Faith breaks through all impediments, Mar. 15. 22. 28. Her Faith was great, who against Hope believed in Hope; is not thy unbelief great, who destroyest the foundation of Hope touching thy Children. O question not the promise of God through unbelief, but be strong in Faith giving Glory to God.
1. Answ. Must we boldly bring our Children to Baptism without any authority from Christ, because the Woman of Canaan come bodily to him, to have her Daughter healed of her Boldly Disease, she had ground for her Faith, but we have none for such a Practice.
