Eusebius. I grant that thou sayest, as touching men of age, unto whom the faith and repentance do recompense the want of baptism. But of young infants it is otherwise. For sith that there is neither •aith nor repentance in them, they cannot be saved without baptism. Therefore saith the master of the sentences, that those which dye without baptism, yea though 1one bring them to be baptised, shall be damned: and doth prove it by saint Augustine, saying: hold this for a surety and doubt nothing at all of it, that not only men having already reason, but also the young infants, which begin to live in their mothers belly, and do there die, without the sacrament of holy baptism which is given in the name of the father, the son, and the holy ghost: or those which without the same do pass out of this world after that they are borne, shall be punished with eternal fire. For although that they have not had sin by their proper act and work, yet they have nevertheless drawn unto them by their conception and nativity, the damnation of original 2sin.
