EPH. 4. VER. 1.2.3. I therfore, the Priſoner of the Lord, beſeech you that yee walk worthy of the Vocation wherwith ye are called: with all LOWLINES and MEEKNES, with long-ſuffering, forbearing one another in LOVE, endeavouring to keep the UNITY of the Spirit, in the Bond of PEACE.

YOu deſire mine opinion touching theſe two Queſtions.
1. Whether there be ſufficient Ground in the Scripture to warrant the conſcience of a Chriſtian to preſent his Infants to the Sacrament of Baptiſm, with an expectation of Benefit that may accrew unto them by it?
2 Whether it be not ſinfull for a Chriſtian to receive the Sacrament in a mixt Aſſembly? I ſhall endeavour to give Anſwer to them both for the ſatisfying of your conſcience. So that you turn not Conſcience into Will: and Iudgement into Affection. The meek (yea only the meek) will the Lord guid in judgement, and teach his w…y. The ſecret of the Lord is with them that fear him, he will ſhew them his Covenant, Pſal. 25.
