In 1623, the Synod of Charenton issued the following Canon for the French Reformed Churches concerning the children of believers dying in infancy:
CANON XVII.
Wherefore since ’tis our Duty to judge of God’s Will by his Word, which testifieth for the Children of Believers, that they be Holy, not indeed by Nature, but through the singular benefit of the Covenant of Grace, in which they be included with their Parents; Fathers and Mothers fearing God should not doubt of their Children’s Election and Salvation, whom God takes unto himself in their Infancy.

CANON XVII.
