Reply to Philip Cary

A careful theological response to Philip Cary's Baptist treatise *A Solemn Call*. Flavel defends the covenantal foundations of infant baptism against Cary's arguments that restrict the new covenant and its sign to professing believers alone. Through three principal positions, he examines the unity and conditionality of the covenant of grace, its extension to the children of believers, and the scriptural warrant for applying the covenant sign to infants. A carefully reasoned contribution to the late-17th-century debate between Presbyterian covenantal theology and emerging Baptist ecclesiology.
