Whether doth the requiring of Faith, or a profession of Faith to be made by men and women in order to their being Baptized, by any better consequence prove, that Infants without such Faith, or Profession of Faith, ought not to be baptized, then Pauls in∣junction, which he commended to the Thessalonians, viz. That if any would not work, neither should he eata 1.1, proveth, that nei∣ther ought children to eat, unless they work too, as well as men or women, who are healthfull and strong, and so capable of work∣ing? Or then this prohibition of God of old concerning the eat∣ing of the Paschal Lamb, No uncircumcised person shall eat there∣ofb 1.2, proveth, that his intent was, that no person of woman kind, whether yong, or old, though daughters of Abraham, and other∣wise sanctified, should eat thereof?
