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.

You bid your Children to ask such, who deny Infant baptism these following questions. 1. Say you, ask them, Can they prove from the Scripture that the Children of the Faithful were cast out from the Covenant of Grace. Let them show us a plain Scripture for that: for if they are not cast out of the Covenant of Grace, then baptism, the Seal of the Covenant belongeth unto them.
