He addeth at the end; Dost thou see what a sort of liberalities there be of baptism? And some do think, that heavenly grace consisteth in remission of sins; and for that cause we do baptise young children, when as nevertheless they be not polluted with sin, that unto them should be given or added, righteousness, holiness, adoption, inheritance, brotherhood of Christ, that they may be his members.

According to which meaning, Paul writeth of those two brethren; Before they had done either good or evil: when nevertheless there is none altogether exempted from that which the apostle said; By the sin of one, 3condemnation came upon all men. And; By one mans disobedience, many are made sinners. ⟨p. 229⟩Hereof it appeareth, 4how warily it behoveth us to be in reading of the fathers; for sometimes we read in them, that young children have no sin proper of their own, when nevertheless they especially acknowledge the corruption of nature; 5that is, original sin to be in them.
