To these Objections I rejoin: §11First, That that Description of the Covenanters in Nehemiah, That they were of understanding and knowledge, supposeth not a distinct actual cognizance of every particular Ordinance, Judgement, Statute, and Provision, in all the three Laws, Moral, Judicial, Ceremonial, in every one that took the Covenant; that being not only needless, but impossible; but it implies only a capacity to receive Instruction and Information in the things they sware unto, though at present they were ignorant of many of the severals contained in that Oath. And so far this Rule obtains among us, Children that are not yet come to understanding and fools, being not admitted to this service, as not capable of instruction.
