Edmund Calamy on Denying Infants Baptism

In light of recent discussions on the exclusion of infants from the visible church, here is a quote from the Puritan Edmund Calamy (he is saying this not me):

Quote:
How cruel are men grown to their little infants, by keeping them from the seal of entrance into the Kingdom of Heaven, and making their children to be just in the same condition with the children of Turks and Infidels?
E. Calamy, The Great Danger of Covenant Breaking, p. 18
