2. And since Baptism doth not belong to them, Christ no where having commanded you to baptize them, nor can it add any thing to their Salvation; I charge you in the Fear of God baptize them not.
3. But do not believe Mr. Owen, nor any other Man in what he says, unless he can prove it from God's Word. I tell you from Christ's own Words you have ground of hope touching the State of your dying Infants, but not because they are your Children, but because of such belongs the Kingdom of Heaven, and they may be in God's eternal Election of Grace: For, as Dr. Taylor saith, and I mentioned before, God may have many ways to apply the ⟨p. 124⟩Blood of Christ to save and sanctify dying Infants, which we know not of; but we are not any more required to haptize them, or to give them one Sacrament, than we are required to give them the other, viz. the Lord's-Supper; and this he will one day know to be a Truth, tho now he sees it not.
O! saith Mr. Owen, cast them not out from the Church of God, out of the Covenant of Salvation; they are your dear Children, Children of your Bodies, of your Vows. O, show them the Mercy of God! the Church of God is willing to receive them: O rent them not from the Mystical Body, of which they are Members. See pag.—
