1. We do believe, that all little Children dying in their Infancy, (viz.) before they are capable to chuse either Good or Evil,a whether born of Believing Parents, or Unbelieving Parents, shall be saved by the Grace of God, and Merit of Christ their Redeemer, and Work of the Holy Ghost,b and so being made Members of the Invisible Church, shall injoy Life everlasting;c for our Lord Jesus saith, of such belongs the Kingdom of Heaven.d Ergo, We conclude that that opinion is false, which saith, That those little Infants dying before Baptism, are damned.
