<​While journeying there, who had lately lost a babe, asked me whether children who die in infancy will grow in the resurrection. I answered No, we shall receive them precisely in the same state as they died, that is, no larger. they will have as much intelligence as we shall, but will always remain separate & single. They will have no increase. Children who are born dead, will have full grown bodies, being made up by <​in​> the resurection.​>

It is a mistaken idea that our children dying when <​young are​> is going to will lessen our glory in the . What can be more be[a]utiful than to see one or more infant children <​in our kingdom,​> clothed with all the knowledge and intelligence which we shall possess ourselves <​and​> having power to waft themselves from place to place as much as we shall have ourselves, conversing and reasoning and councilling with us like aged men and women, filled with wisdom and intelligence? Instead of lessening our glory they will add to it, and we shall have them ever with us in the same kingdom. [p. 32a]
