If in our Saviour's time the Head and Ma∣ster of a Family was never baptized, but his whole Family was baptized with him, then Children and Infants ought to be baptized, for they are a considerable part of Fa∣milies.
But we never read of any Head or Master of a Family baptized, but his or their whole Houshold were baptized with them; as is evident in Cornelius, Acts 10. and
Lydia, and the Jailer, Acts 16. So 1 Cor. 1.14. &c.
Object. But there's no mention of any In∣fants in any of these Families.
Answ. No more is there of any of riper years: And it's much more likely that there was Infants in those Families, than other∣wise; there is no mention in Scripture of Children of believing Parents baptized at a∣dult age.
I shall multiply no more Arguments; by these the unprejudiced Reader will be abun∣dantly satisfied, that Infant-Baptism is God's Ordinance.
