Confirmation and restoration the necessary means of reformation, and reconciliation; for the healing of the corruptions and divisions of the churches: submissively, but earnestly tendered to the consideration of the sovereign powers, magistrates, ministers, and people, that they may awake, and be up and doing in the execution of so much, as appeareth to be necessary as they are true to Christ, his Church and Gospel, and to their own and others souls, and to the peace and welfare of the nations; and as they will answer the neglect to Christ, at their peril. / By Richard Baxter, an unworthy minister of Christ, that longeth to see the healing of the churches.Confirmation and restauration the necessary means of reformation, and reconciliation; for the healing of the corruptions and divisions of the churches: submissively, but earnestly tendered to the consideration of the soveraigne powers, magistrates, ministers, and people, that they may awake, and be up and doing in the execution of so much, as appeareth to be necessary as they are true to Christ, his Church and Gospel, and to their own and others souls, and to the peace and wellfare of the nations; and as they will answer the neglect to Christ, at their peril. / By Richard Baxter, an unworthy minister of Christ, that longeth to see the healing of the churches.

Adult Privileges comprehend the ⟨p. 12⟩Infant Privileges, partly as that which is Perfect comprehendeth the Imperfect, and partly as the whole comprehendeth the parts; and partly as the thing Continued is the same with the thing Begun. Infant Privileges would all cease with Infancy, if the Causes or Conditions cease, and there be no other Cause for their continuance. God never took Infants into his Church and Covenant, with a purpose so to continue them, without any other Condition then that upon which they were admitted. This is past denial, and will be more cleared in the next.
