Means that most third generation children would remain unbaptized. Unless a solution were found, saints' numbers would dwindle and Puritan rule would end.

A "Relation" is a story. In an example of a "Conversion Relation" in the 17th century, Massachusetts Puritans required that a person give a "relation" of their conversion in front of their congregation before joining the church.

A conversion relation is a soul-bearing "relation" or account, of a person's conversion experience.

Ex: In the "New England Way" (1600s), Massachusetts Puritans insisted that candidates for membership(those who wanted to be saints) stand before their congregation and provide a convincing, soul-baring "relation" or account, of their conversion experience. (An Enduring Vision 6e)
