SECT. XXXVII.
TO grant you this also (in a due and qualified sense) were but to grant you out of the aboundance of our own apprehensions in the truth thereof. These holy designs of Christ in baptism,
[Reply.] are as effectually brought about (and his heavenly hand hath found out his enterprize herein) by baptism administred unto Infants, as by the ad∣ministration of it unto others at age. Your four first considerations premised, you advance to the fifth.
This being the plain design of Christ in the ordinance,
I consi∣dered Infants-Sprinckling, which ordinarily goeth for bap∣tism, and found the great designe of Christ in a manner frustrate by it, because there is no Sign or figure of any such thing as death, burial, and resurrection, and consequently not that Sermon of the Gospel, which Christ intended to make by it, as is most evident by Scriptures, which palpa∣bly discovereth it to be a humane invention.
