ESSAY ON BAPTISM 589

§ 27. And yet you will cast your words and thoughts away while spirits are perishing all around you. Ah, you Churchmen, let your flocks deny Baptismal Regeneration as much as they please so only that they teach their children to love Christ. They will not tell you that is contrary to Scriptures. And you Evangelicals, instead of spending all your efforts against this “pestilent” doctrine, would it not be wiser to make as much of Baptism as you can? Let others preach what they choose of it, only do you prove and use it. Put Christ to the fair trial. See if He will not, at your prayer, bless the Child which you baptize in His name, and whether those whom their Lord has blessed, shall not be Blessed for Ever.
