The ninth Crimination.
C. Some of them say that Christ's Death did actually deliver *all men in the World from the guilt of Original Sin, and so that none perish for Original Sin; because what Adam did, Christ undid.
- *Vid. Episcop. Resp. ad qu. 64. qu. 38. supposing the Salvation of all that die in Infancy.
B. You can name no Church that doth hold such Doctrine: And we have nothing to do with singular odd Persons. 1. Millions were unborn when Christ died, and were not guilty of Original sin till afterwards, and therefore were not capable of Pardon. 2. The Papists who damn unbaptized Infants cannot be of that Opinion. 3. What Adam brought upon us, Christ did deliver us from, upon his terms, and in his way, and by his degrees, but not immediately. He hath given all men a conditional Pardon of Original Sin, as he hath done of Actual, and no other. The Unregenerate are under the guilt of all Sin whatsoever. 4. But it is certain, that no man, except Infants, doth perish for Original Sin alone; For all men at age have other sins. And it being certain, that God offereth all men a recovery or remedy (mediately or immediately;) it is certain, that Infants perish not merely for Adam's sin i•puted, as a remediless evil: but that their non-liberation, or not being pardoned and saved, is long of their Parents Unbelief, and not entering them into the Covenant of God, who is the God of the Faithful and their Seed.
