Does Christ, says he, own them for Subjects in his Kingdom, and shall we allow them no better standing than in the Devil's Kingdom?
Answ. Does Christ own Infants to be Subjects of his Kingdom, and yet did not baptize them? (for that he did not) and shall we attempt to baptize them, as if we were wiser than he? I must again turn the Edge of the Sword upon this Man: If little Children were brought to Christ and he did not baptize them, then we must not; But little Children were brought to Christ and he did not baptize them, therefore we must not. Here is both Truth and Reason in this Argument, as Dr. Taylor confesseth, but none of either in his.

It is confessed by Mr. Burkitt himself, That Christ did not baptize those Infants that came to him, and whom he took in his Arms and blessed, because with his own Hands he baptized none at all, John 4. 1, 2.
