Heirs of Heaven I answer and say that little ones are heirs to Heaven I shall not deny for where there is no Law there is no transgression and where there is no transgression there is no punishment yet it doth not follow that they must be Baptised because Baptisme and Repentance and Faith is to break off sins committed personally that those persons might be heirs of Heaven and so that Ordinance properly belongeth to such as are not absolute heirs to Heaven I speak after the manner of men but to such as are penetent sinners that thereby they might be made heirs to Heaven but of this you may see more at large in my other Treatise these two things take notice of and so shall pass the first is that I do not conclude that Children are ever the better or nearer to Heaven because they are Children of Believers neither that others are nearer to hell because they are unbelievers children And secondly I do not believe and I know also you can never prove that those Children were the Children of Believing Parents Again you say Children are counted Disciples from Exod. 15 5 10. Why put ye a yoak on the Disciples nick meaning say you on believers and their Children To which I answer and say that they were not children that were called Disciples but Brethren and they were such as were capable to be delivered for the Text saith There were certain that came and taught the Brethren It cannot be proved that any of those that are called Disciples in the fifteenth of the Acts were children in non-age mark that that if they were not circumcised after the manner of Moses that is to observe the law of Moses they could not be saved and these are the very persons that the Apostle calleth Disciples in the tenth verse and you may see what they are forbidden in the twentieth verse the which she weth that they were not Children but you may see this also fully answered as beforesaid only take this by the way from whence you may see that Children of seven or eight dayes old or thereabouts cannot be Christs Disciples because Christ saith That he that denyeth not himself and taketh up his Cross and followeth him cannot be his Disciple the which a Child cannot do therefore cannot be Christs Disciple see Dagons Downfal and so I pass to the next thing which is say you That which is frequenty mentioned in the Law need not to be so frequently mentioned in the Gospel and what more frequent in the Ola Testament than Gods promise to be a God to them and their Seed your instances is that of the Sabbath say you The Sabbath being moral and perpetual and frequently commanded to be kept in the law need not to be commanded to be kept in the New Testament To which I answer and say and first that how you will prove it to be moral and perpetual I know not if you seriously read Heb. 4 3 4 you may see that the Seventh dayes Sabbath as it did look at the seventh year of Jubilee and the seven thousand years to be a general rest and release so it did type out our Rest from the servilty and bondage of the Law and sheweth that our Rest is already began in Christ so saith the Author to the Hebrews 4 3 4 5 For we which have believed do enter into rest as he said as I have sworn in my wrath if they shall enter into my rest although the work was finished from the foundation of the world for he spake in a certain place of the Heavenly day on this wise and God rested the Seventh day from all his works From whence you may see that the Seventh day is typical The Seventh days Sabbath not moral but typical and he is worthy to be stoned to death who contendeth for the Sabbath day under the Gospel and yet breaketh it by doing his own works your own practice denyeth the morality of the Seventh days Sabbath and indeed the day was typical doubtless and further let me tell you that I do not observe the first day by vertue of the institution of the Seventh day but I keep that day holy to Christs service upon another account and if you keep it upon the account of a Sabbath by vertue of the old institution then for the time to come learn to keep it in every particular so or otherwise you are condemned in the things that you allow And also in the second place where you say God frequently did say in the Old Testament that he would be a God to Abraham and his Seid and therefore no need to mention children in the communion To which I answer that whereas God saith He will be 〈◊〉 God to Abraham and his Seed if that be a Gospel promise then God doth not mean the children of the flesh of Abraham or of believers but thy Seed that is Christs which is such as are of the Faith of Abraham and so they that are faithful the same are counted the Seed of Abraham for it is not the children of the flesh that are the children of God for not unto Abraham and his seed thorow the Law was the promise Rom 4 13. made that he should be heir of the world but to his Seed that is by Faith and now the children of Christ are counted the children of Abraham and none are accounted the children of Christ upon a Gospel account but such as believe in him see some few texts of Scripture and so I shall pas to the third thing considerable in this particular see Rom. 9 7 8. Neither because they are the Seed of Abraham are they all Children but in Isaac shall thy seed be called that is they that are children of the flesh these are not the children of God but the children of promise are counted for the Seed and if ye are Christ then are ye Abrahams seed and heirs according to promise * Gal. 3.39 cap. 3.37 And as many as have bee Baptized unto Christ they have put on Christ * Gal. 3.39 cap. 3.37 For if they which be of the Law viz. the fleshly Seed and fleshly Covenant be Heirs Faith is made void and the promise of none effect But it is of Faith that it might be by grace Rom. 4 14. that the promise might be sure to all the seed and faithful persons are accounted he tru Seed see Gal 3 8 9. And the Scriptures foreseeing that God would justifie the Heathen thorow Faith preached before the Gospel unto Abraham saying in thee shall all Nations be blessed so then they which be of Faith the same are blessed with faithfull Abraham From whence you may see that your fleshly Covenant and your fleshly Seed is nothing but a meer scar-crow viz. a thing without life and so I pass to the third and last thing which is Although things have been frequently spoken in the Law if they are moral and perpetual they are also commanded
