And as concerning procreation, 1we say that it is commendable, when it consisteth of lawful matrimony: therein must be considered man that is begotten: that is, (as the School-men term it) the effect proper and of it self. But man is the good creature of God, vice and corruption is added by accidental means. And this evil hath a remedy; which thing happeneth not in leprosy, and other incurable diseases. Also we do grant, that man is made, to the end he should attain unto eternal felicity. And whereas it is objected, that he is revoked from this end, through the corruption of the body: we contrariwise do say, 2that he by the very same means is invited unto Christ. Lastly, we grant, that it may seem to be a thing unworthy, that the innocent soul should be placed in hell; seeing no hope of redemption is there to be looked for: but being set in a body, although it be a corrupt body, yet it may obtain salvation and redemption.
