A45244	A treatise concerning the covenant and baptism dialogue-wise, between a Baptist & a Poedo-Baptist wherein is shewed, that believers only are the spirituall seed of Abraham, fully discovering the fallacy of the argument drawn from the birth priviledge : with some animadversions upon a book intituled Infant-baptism from heaven and not of men, defending the practise of baptizing only believers against the exceptions of M. Whiston / by Edward Hutchinson.	Hutchinson, E. M. (Edward Moss)	1676 (1676)	Wing H3829; ESTC R40518	127,506	243

the_o child_n of_o believer_n have_v no_o right_n to_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n more_o than_o the_o child_n of_o unbeliever_n by_o virtue_n of_o their_o parent_n faith_n so_o they_o have_v no_o
