But I come to the particular scanning of the parts.
1. You utterly mistake my words; I said not, the fall of Adam was the only way, or any way, for the salvation of Infants: But this I said, and say; the fall of Adam was the only way of manifestation of Gods mercy in the salvation of Infants: For mercy supposeth misery, and the misery of Infants is only in respect of sin original, not at all in respect of sins actual, wherein they are nothing culpable. Now to the manifestation of Gods mercy in their salvation, the permission of Adams fall, and their fall in Adam, was a Medium: and I prove it thus, if God did permit Adam to sin, and these Infants in Adam, to this end, namely to the manifestation of his mercy in their salvation; then this permission of Adams fall, and their fall in Adam, was a Medium tending to the manifestation of his mercy in their salvation: But God did permit Adam to fall, and these Infants in Adam, to this very end. Ergo. I prove the M•••r thus; he did permit Adam to fall, and these Infants in Adam, to the manifestation of his own glory in them: But no glory of God is more conveniently manifested in the permission of Adams fall, and these Infants in Adam, than the glory of his mercy in the pardoning of their sins, and saving their souls in despite of sin: Therefore this is to be accounted the end as much as any.
