3. Come, Sir, the Odium falls on your self. I argue thus: If all the Children of Believers are in the Covenant of Grace God made with Abraham, and yet many of them eternally perish, what then is become of the immutable ⟨p. 78⟩and everlasting Covenant of Grace? nay of the Promises and Oath of God? and also of the Doctrine of final Perseverance? O what Shame do you Pedo-baptists bring upon your selves, by arguing after this blind manner for your Babes Baptism!
4. But perhaps you will say, you argue for the external Privileges of the Covenant of Grace to belong to your Children, as such, and not the spiritual and special Blessings of it.
Answ. If so, the case is still worse: for then it will follow, that God in the Covenant of Grace hath by his Promise and Oath, and Immutability of his Counsel, given to all Persons ground of strong Consolation, that only have a share in the outward Rites and external Parts of the Covenant of Grace.
