1Lastly, unto sin death is due as a reward: wherefore, where no sin is, there death can have no place. For this only appertaineth unto the son of God, to die an innocent; For he died for our sins: 2but we therefore die, because we be not without sin. And if it be so, then let us see what our adversaries can allege; why infants, which be now borne anew in Christ, do die. For actual sins they have not, and the guiltiness or blame of original sin is taken away: there remaineth only lust and corruption of nature, not wholly amended: & corrupt motions, which Augustine in his eleventh book of Confessions saith, are found in infants; and he both confesseth, and accuseth them as sins: and therefore, seeing these be sins, they do not unjustly die for them.
1Lastlie, vnto sinne death is due as a reward: wherefore, where no sinne is, there death can haue no place. For this onelie apperteineth vnto the sonne of God, to die an innocent; For he died for our sinnes: 2but we therefore die, bicause we be not without sinne. And if it be so, then let vs sée what our aduersaries can alledge; why infants, which be now borne anew in Christ, doo die. For actuall sinnes they haue not, and the guiltines or blame of originall sinne is taken awaie: there remaineth onelie lust and corruption of nature, not wholie amended: & corrupt motions, which Augustine in his eleuenth booke of Confessions saith, are found in infants; and he both confesseth, and accuseth them as sinnes: and therefore, séeing these be sinnes, they doo not vniustlie die for them.
