Ans. Tell Mr. Owen he hath had this Question answered in this Treatise, over and over, viz. Tell him, the Spiritual Privileges of Children now are more then theirs were under the Law: So that our Children lose no Divine and Spiritual blessings or privileges, which the Children of the Faithful once had. God hath the same love to, and care of our Children under the Gospel, as he had to theirs under the Law; but the Temporal blessings of the Jewish Children, and their External or Earthly privileges, then were more then our Children have in Gospel times, the Gospel Church being established upon better promises, theirs were under the promise of heaping up Gold and Silver, and possessing outward peace, and to enjoy a Land that flowed with Milk and Honey.

True the external or outward dispensation of the Gospel Covenant, which our Children are under, far ⟨p. 289⟩exceeds theirs for the clearness of Light and Revelation of Christ, and for other Spiritual privileges ours excels: Besides no doubt, but the Children of believers under the Gospel far exceed the privileges of unbelievers by the blessings of a Godly Education and the like. But we say it was not the Covenant of Grace that gave right to Circumcision under the Law, but the positive Law and Command of God, so 'tis not the Covenant of Grace that gives right to baptism, but Christs positive Command, which runs not unto our Children until they do believe; and bid Mr. Owen prove that Infant baptism doth make the condition of Children, any ways better then the condition of our Children, who never were baptized.
