Baptize fuch of them whom they had made Difciples by Teaching

But Infants are not the Subjefis of Teaching, according tQ
Chrift's Commiflion.
Ergo, They are not the Subje^s of Baptifm by that Commiffion.
For what our Lord hath joined together, no Min ought to
feparate.
But our Lord hath joined Teaching and Baptizing together.
Therefore no man ought to feparate.
And it is turther manifeft, That our Lord did nor command
