4.Infants of both believing and unbelieving parents are to be baptized—not because of fleshly generation or parents' merits, but because of the promise of grace adhering to the covenant (Gen. 17; Acts 2:39; 1 Cor. 7:14).
5.Infants are rightly baptized in the New Testament as boys were circumcised in the Old—because the same promise and covenant, the same Christ, and the same faith of covenanted parents.
Latin
4. Infantes parentum tam fidelium quam infidelium baptizandi sunt, non ob carnis generationem aut merita parentum, sed ob promissionem gratiae foederi adhaerentem (Gen. 17; Acts 2:39; 1 Cor. 7:14). 5. Infantes recte baptizantur in novo testamento, sicut pueri circumciduntur in veteri—quia eadem promissio & foedus, idem Christus, eadem fides parentum foederatorum.
