Thirdly, Consider that Infants Baptismal Covenant is also directly repugnant to the nature of the Covenant of Grace, rendering the Covenant of Grace to be of the same nature of the Covenant of Peculiarity God made with Abraham and his Natural Seed, as such, and so suits only with the Baxterian Errors, and Mr. William's New Scheme, which renders the Covenant of Grace conditional, according to the Covenant of Works. Take Mr. Baxter's words, viz. The Condition of the Covenant of Grace, by which we have right to the Benefits of it, is our Faith (mark it) or Christianity, as it is meant by Christ in the Baptismal Covenant, viz. to give up our selves in Covenant, believing in God the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, renouncing the Contraries; and that through this consent to the Christian Covenant (called Faith alone) is the full condition of our first right to the Benefits of that Covenant (of which Justification) is one. Baxter's Fourth Proposit. in his Preface to Dr. Tully.

1. From hence note, as Mr. Troughton observes, Mr. Baxter doth not say that Christ's Righteousness, apprehended by Faith, doth justify us; but Faith in a comprehensive Sense, as it includeth Obedience to God, according to this Covenant. It appears that the Belief and Practice of the Christian Religion, upon performance of their Infant Baptismal-Covenant, is that Righteousness by which they are justified, as the purport of Mr. Baxter's Sense.
