SECT. VI.
Whether Original Sin be alike in All.
Whether Original Sinne be alike in All.
The last thing to be treated on, is to answer that Question, Whether original sin be alike in all? Do we not see some even from the very womb more propense to iniquities then others? And if it be equal in all, Why should not all be carried out to the same sins alike? Why is not every one a Cain, a Judas?

To this we answer these things, 1. If we take original sin for the privative part of it (viz.) the want of Gods Image, so all are alike; Every one hath equally lost this glorious Image of God, none hath any more left of it in them then another: Even as it is concerning those that are damned in hell; They are all equal in their punishment in respect of the poena damni, they lose the presence of the same God, and are all alike cast out from his presence, but there is a difference in respect of the poena sensus, some have greater torments then others.
