Sect. 24. XVII. And it is certain that the minds of some such persons children are extraordinarily depraved: some have natures extraordinarily lustful, some furious, some senseless and inconsiderate, some slothful, some false, versatile and untrusty, some mutable and unconstant; some have appetites hardly to be restrained, &c. Yea, and all the foresaid diseases of the body, much tend to the evil of the soul. And is all this no punishment? or of none but Adam's sin?

Sect. 26. XVIII. It is notorious that outward calamities in their estates, and other accidents, befall children for the Parents sins: The sacrilegious, perjured, murderers, and despisers of Parents seldom have a progeny that is not notably plagued for their sin. And Divines should not teach Atheists to deny such judgments of God.
Sect. 27. XIX. He that saith that children have no guilt of the sins of any Parents since Adam, doth by consequence say that ⟨p. 21⟩God neither ever did, or will do, or justly can punish any child in the least degree, positively or privatively, for any such Parents sin: But he that dare so say, is bolder and blinder than I would have any wise and holy Teachers of Christ's Flocks to be.
