Object. 5. Your children are holy: Therefore without original sin. 1Answ. This is a fallacy drawn from the abuse of a common manner of speech. They are holy, not that all the children of holy men are regenerate, or have holiness from carnal propagation: for it is said, When they had neither done good nor evil, I have loved Jacob, 2and have hated Esau: but the children of the godly are holy, in respect of the external fellowship of the Church; that is to say, they are to be counted for Members or Citizens of the Church, and so also for the chosen and sanctified of God, except themselves, when they come to age, declare themselves to be others by their unbelief and impiety.
