"When the Covenant of Faith came under a new administration, even that of the New Covenant after Christ, so that the first federal token was changed from circumcision to baptism, the apostles in the primitive churches admitted not only particular professed believers, but also their whole families (though their actual faith be not recorded) to the initiating sacrament of the New Covenant: baptism. When governors of families were converted, not only they, but their families were baptized also, as Cornelius and his company (Acts 10:1-2, 24, 44 to the end), Lydia and her household (Acts 16:14-15), the jailor and all his (Acts 16:33), Stephanas and his household (1 Corinthians 1:16). Now when, not only the governors of families, but their whole families with them were baptized, can we rationally imagine that none of their children β of their infant children β were baptized? Do not parents and their children most properly make up the family, servants being only as accidental foreigners thereunto? Take away children from the family, do not you usually take away the greatest part of the family? When their households are said to be baptized, of whom can we understand it but chiefly of their children?" Francis Roberts God's Covenants The Mystery and Marrow of the Bible
