2. Besides, as Dr. Taylor observes, If Baptism came in the room of Circumcision, you must baptize your Children always on the eighth day, and you must not baptize your Females at all, because none but Male Infants were then circumcised.
3 And whereas you say that Baptism signifies the same things that Circumcision did, it is not true, as will appear to all understanding Men, if they consider these Particulars following, which are so many Disparities, viz.
(1.) Circumcision was a Shadow of Christ to come; Baptism is a Sign he is already come, was dead and buried.
(2.) Circumcision was a Sign of the Covenant made with Abraham and his Natural Seed; Baptism is a Sign of the peculiar spiritual Privileges made to Saints, as such, and no others.
