Reply 1. How doth it appear the Infants of the Godly before Abraham's time, had any Right to visible Church-Membership, or what Seal had they?
2. Such a Right is a mere Figment-like Idea Platonica. All Institutions merely positive are of such Rite in particular, and an initial Seal is merely positive, as Signs that are not natural, but by the Will of the Appointer; and therefore there is no initial Seal indefinite.

Sir, now you have no way left, but to see since the old Covenant is cancelled, whether you can find the Baptism of Infants in the New Testament, and there taught, laid down and prefixed to it, as Circumcision was to the Old?
