"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:
| "Baptising your kids doesn't do anything so miraculous that you parents are off the hook concerning your responsibility to teach your kids about Christianity, but at the very least having it done can give you comfort in the case of premature death, in that they have been introduced into the covenant, and it's more than reasonable to expect that you will see them again in heaven".
