John Trapp on Matthew 19:13

Verse 13. Then [illegible: 1 word] there brought unto him little ones] By their parents carefull of their [illegible: 1 word] good. We must also [illegible: 1 word] ours, as we can, to Christ. And 1. By praying for them before, at, and after their birth. 2. By timely bringing them to the ordinance of baptisme with faith, and much joy in such a priviledge. 3. By training them up in Gods holy fear; [illegible: 1 word] God to perswade their hearts, as Noah did for his son Iapheth. We may speak perswasively, but God only [illegible: 1 word]: as Rebekah might cook the [illegible: 1 word], but it was Isaac only, [illegible: 1 word] gave the [illegible: 1 word]. And the Disciples rebuked them] They held it a [illegible: 1 word] below their-Lord to look upon little ones. But it is not with our God,Non [illegible: 1 word] ex [illegible: 2 words] a. l. [illegible: 1 word] lovi as with their Idol that had no leisure to attend smaller matters. Christian Children are the Churches nursery: the devil seeks to destroy them, as he did the babes of Bethlehem: but Christ hath a gracious respect unto them, and sets them on a rock that is higher then they.
