Q. 16. But doth not God disclaim punishing the Children for the Fathers sins, and say the Soul that sinneth shall die?
A. Yes; when the Children are either wholly innocent of that sin, or else are pardoned through Christ upon their true repentance, and hating and renouncing their Fathers sins. But not else.
Q. 17. Are any Children guilty of their Parents sins?
