Reply 4. It hath been expressly showed above from scripture that infants have dyed as at an 100 years old, only because they were as truly seasoned with grace, and as ripe and ready for glory in their infancy, as if they had fulfilled the age of an 100 years, Esa. 65.20.

Reply 5. If none of Gods elect did dye in their infancy, then ⟨p. 19⟩all outward things did not fall alike to all, contrary to the Scripture Eccles. 9.2. death may (by your Tenet) befall (and often doth) to carnal infants, but never to elect infants. And thus elect infants, whilst infants should be immortal, which is a paradox I suppose the Church of God never heard of (before now) since the world began.
