29. These things, although they cannot so fully answer to those objections, which we have put, as humane reason would require; yet by them we have, what after a sort we may answer. 1The conjunction of the soul with the corrupt body, maketh nothing to the destruction of the chosen; for in Christ, as well the body as the soul is renewed. And as the soul is infected by the body; so by the faith of Christ, which is in the soul, the same, together with the body, is repaired. And whereas the innocent soul, which hath done nothing, either good or evil, is joined with a body corrupted; this the order of nature doth require; unless the body should be left without life, and to be forsaken, as destitute of all mankind. But if we shall stand in disputation with God, there will be no measure nor end. Innumerable souls would complain, because they were created, not predestinated [to salvation;] who nevertheless deserved not the same. A great many would complain, that they have been borne of wicked infidels, and barbarous parents, and that they died in their tender age, by means whereof they could not come by the knowledge: and a thousand complaints more they might imagine.
