Do not understand me as urging the comparison to an extreme; I only say that there we have an example of parents acting for the child in a matter of faith.

The infant child was incapable of believing, and even where the first-born was grown up, the parent acted for him in the ordinance, by sprinkling the door with blood.

I do not prove infant baptism by this, but I use it to show that parents may use an ordinance for their infants.

Mr.K.asks if baptized infants are buried with Christ in baptism into death,--that is, die unto sin and rise to newness of life.

The parents profess by the baptism that they will use means to effect this in their children, through the grace of the Holy Spirit.
