A. 1. If any at all are due, it proveth an answerable guilt: 2. To say that Adams sin deserveth our spiritual and eternal punishment, and all other Parents sin only temporal, is to speak without and against Scripture and the Nature of the Case? The ⟨p. 260⟩Case of the seed of the old World, the Sodomites, the Canaanites and the present Heathens, speaks much more. 3. It's clear that nearer Parents sin is a cause that many of their Posterity are more sinful (in Lust, Pride, Fornication, Heresy, Ignorance) than others: And Sin (as well as Grace) hath a tendency to perpetuity, if not cured and remitted.

Q. 22. Why doth God name only the third and fourth Generation?
A. To show us, that though he will punish the sins of his Enemies on their Posterity who imitate their Parents, yet he sets such bounds to the Execution of his Justice, as that sinners shall not want encouragement to repent and hope for Mercy.
