Query 5. If the fleshly Seed, or Children of believing Gentiles, as such, are to be counted the Seed of Abraham; I Query whither they are his Spiritual Seed, or his Natural Seed? if not his Spiritual Seed, nor his Natural Seed, what right can they have to Baptism or Church Membership, from any Covenant Transaction God made with Abraham?
The Athenians answer. They are his Spiritual Seed Visible, for so far only belongs to us to Judge; and therefore they have a right to the Seal of that Covenant.
Reply, What they say cannot be true, because the Scripture positively saith, that such who are the spiritual Seed of Abraham, have the Faith of Abraham, and walk in the Steps of Abraham, and are Christ's, Gal. 3. ult. But Infants of Believers, as such, cannot be said to have the Faith of Abraham, nor to walk in Abraham's Steps, &c.
