Propositions to clear the Doctrine of the Propagation of Original Sin by the Souls Creation.
Propositions to clear the Doctrine of the Propagation of Original Sinne by the Souls Creation.
First, We lay this for a foundation, That God doth create the soul of every man a spiritual substance. This Proposition must be the foundation-stone to build upon. That God doth create the soul immediately, you have heard several Texts attesting thereunto. So that Bellarmine was too dissident, when moved, (it seemed) by Austin, doth wave all Texts of Scripture for the creation of the soul, and so proceedeth to other Arguments. Perierius on 2 Chap. of Genes. vers. 7. giveth a better censure of Austin: for having produced some Texts for the Creation of the soul, he saith, Conatur Augustinus, sed frustra hos locos elidere. I shall add one more fit for that purpose also. The Text is 1 Pet. 4. 19. Wherefore let them that suffer, according to the will of God, commit the keeping of their souls unto God, as to a faithful Creator. Here the afflicted children of God are required, as Christ did, to commend their souls to God, and the reason is, Because he is a faithful Creator of them; So that Gods Creation of them is here made an engagement to God to keep them, they being now sanctified and made holy.
