In his A Treatise on Baptism, Matthew Henry writes:

"As far as the parents are concerned, we are sure, that the children are not so regenerated, as not to need good instructions, when they become capable of them, and yet are so regenerated, that if they die in infancy, parents may take comfort from their baptism in reference to their salvation: and as to the children, when they grow up, we are sure, that their baptismal regeneration, without something more, is not sufficient to bring them to heaven: and yet it may be urged, (as I said before,) in praying to god to give them grace, and in persuading them to submit to it."

Can someone clarify what Henry is intimating with his allusion to baptismal regeneration?
