O tremble to do any thing in God's Worship without lawful authority from him, I mean precept or example from his Word, do not adventure to Baptize, much less to Rantize your Children any more, whatever Mr. Owen (or any Man on Earth saith) unless you can find it written in your Bibles. God hath not commanded you to bring them into a baptismal Covenant in their Infancy, nor made any promise of blessing to assist them in performing that Covenant, if you do bring them into it of your own Head voluntarily.

If you do, and will do this thing, notwithstanding you have no authority from God's Word to do it; Pray consider what I have said in this Treatise about this devised and unwarrantable Covenant, by which you may heap up much guilt upon your selves, and lay such a Load and Burden upon your Children, that you are not aware of: Mr. Williams's frightens them with the Sin of Perjury, who violate this Covenant, may not this tend to drive them into despair, and God will never charge them with Perjury, since he never commanded them to enter into any such Covenant: Your Children who when grown up if wicked and ungodly have too much guilt, both Original sin, and Actual sin, lying upon them, there is little need to add to their Burden; for their want of Light, and by Reading of such Mens Books, they may perhaps thus charge themselves. Mr. Dan. Williams says, 'tis the damning sin: no no, the Damning sin is the breach of God's Law, and particularly the sin of unbelief.
