9. To that which you say concerning infants, I think I may answer, that although 1there were no other thing that made way to their salvation, or damnation, but only the fall of Adam; yet it followeth not, that God decreed to permit Adams fall, as a Medium tending thereunto. For what if he decreed to save or damn some sine mediis, supposing them in a state immediately capable of salvation or damnation, as by Adams fall, and their original sin contracted hereupon, they were? yet I add farther, concerning infants that are saved; there is somewhat else decreed to make way to their salvation, besides Adams fall: namely an application of Christs merit to them in baptism, or otherwise. And for those that are damned; since their original sin makes them immediately justly damnable, it was enough for God to decree to leave them in the state they were, and so to damn them; there being no other remedy to bring to pass his end in the matter.
