It Pleases God to Call

“Since we are to judge the will of God from His Word, which testifies that the children of believers are holy, not by nature, but in virtue of the covenant of grace, in which they together with their parents are comprehended, godly parents ought not to doubt the election and salvation of their children whom it pleases God to call out of this life in their infancy.”

- Canons of Dort, ch.1, art. 17 in The Christian Faith, p. 797
