Arg. 1. From Rom. 5. 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18. If all have sinned, then infants have sinned; (and that can be only by original sin). But all have sinned: go. infants have sinned. Whether [Greek or Hebrew] be [in whom] or [in that] or [forasmuch as] I make no great matter of. (Though I see no reason but with the vulgar Latin, and others, we should turn it [in quo]). If infants have sin, it is as much as I am proving. The minor is expressly affirmed in ver. 12. [all have sinned]; which is rendered in other words, ver. 19. ⟨p. 81⟩[many were made sinners]. The consequence of the major can have nothing said against it, but that by [All] is meant only [All the adult], and infants are excluded. But this is such wilful violence to the Text, as that all Scripture may by such interpretation be eluded, and words shall signify nothing. 1. The express universal affirmation may not be expounded by restraining terms, without some cogent reason: but here is no cogent reason brought, nor can be: all the reason of the adversaries is but the point now in question, which if they may beg, they may thence deny all Texts that be against them, because they are against them.
