2. It is all men that die that the Apostle speaketh of: but infants die: go. he speaks of infants. The major is plain, v. 12. [Death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned]. Here the sinners and dyers are made the same; and more than so, death is the effect of their [having sinned]: it go. passeth upon all men, for that all have sinned; go. not without their sin. And the next verses fuller prove it purposely. Where death reigneth, there sin is imputed: but death reigneth on infants; go. sin is imputed to infants: and also the [All] before mentioned includeth them; for it is the same persons that the Apostle speaks of in these ⟨p. 82⟩verses, 12, 13, 14. The major is proved from the 13 and 14 verses, else the Apostle's argument were vain; for this is his medium to prove that sin was imputed before the Law, viz. because death reigned before the Law, even from Adam to Moses: go. the reign of death will prove the imputation of sin; which is the same with [having sinned], mentioned, ver. 12. It is the [all that have sinned] that are said to have sin imputed to them.
