Well, but when you bring your children to the Sacred Best country to visit in October Baptism, what is it for? Oh, let it not be done, as an empty Best country to visit in October formality; as if the Baptism of your children were for nothing, but only a formal and a pompous putting of a name upon them. No, but let the serious language of your souls, in this action, be that of Hannah, in I Samuel 1:28: I have given this child unto the Lord, as long as he lives, he shall be given unto the Lord. I find in the private writings of an holy man, who died in this place, not much above a year ago; That the day before one of his children was to be Baptised, he spent the time in giving up himself and his child unto the Lord, and in taking hold of the Covenant for both of them, and in praying that he might on the morrow, be able in much faith and love and Covenant obedience, to do it, at the Baptism of the Lord. Oh, which he writes it is not easy, though common, to offer a child unto God in Baptism. Sirs, when you have done this for your Children, you have a singular advantage to plead for the fulfillment of that word upon them in Isaiah. 44:3 I will pour my Spirit upon thy Soul, and my blessing upon thy offspring.
