Nehemiah Coxe was a 17th century Baptist who wrote a polemic contra paedobaptism worth reading. I started a page on fb a while ago and it has been getting some traffic lately. Check it out if you're interested. Like it.
"The promise made to Abraham gives the seed, as well as the blessing of that seed, to him. Believers are the children of promise, later typified by Isaac, being begotten to God of his own will by the efficacy and grace of his free promise and then the blessing of that seed is promised, which being of grace, is made sure to all them (Romans 4:16). As the blessing is spiritual so also is the seed; nor can it be extended further than to that seed which is its promised subject." - Coxe (page 80)
