4. You bid your Children that are grown up to live answerable to their Covenant. 5. Say you, give not place to Temptation, in denying your First Baptism.

1. Decretively. 2. Actually all Gods Elect ones are Decretively in the Covenant of Grace, but no one Soul, either Man or Woman, is actually in it, until they have by Faith Union with Christ. O! labour after this Union, you are all the Children of Wrath by Nature, and your Infant Baptism alters not your State, nor had you any right to baptism when you were Infants, but if you do believe you may and ought to be Baptized by virtue of Christ's Commission or Authority of God's Word. Let not your Faith stand in this matter in the Wisdom of Men, but in the Power and Authority of the Word of God; to walk according to the Rule of the Holy Scripture herein, is not to give way to Temptation; but to the dictates of God's Spirit, let Mr. Owen say what he will.
