But those things which we have said, can by no means be understand of spiritual and eternal pains. For as touching them every man shall suffer for his own fault.
But those thynges whiche we haue sayde, can by no meanes bee vnderstande of spirituall and eternall paynes. For as touching them euery man shall suffer for hys owne faulte.
Now let us expound the words of the law. I (sayeth he) am a Jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the Fathers upon the children, unto the third and fourth generation, of them that hate me.1 These last words Jerome upon Ezekiel the .18. chapter diligently noteth. And Augustine upon Joshua in the question before alleged. Of those, sayeth GOD, which hate me: as though he should have said, I will not touch the innocents, but will take vengeance of their iniquity, which imitate evil Fathers, and hath me. After the same manner he promiseth to do good unto children, and children's children, even unto a thousand generations. But to what children? Even to those, (sayeth he) that love me. Wherefore though the Father be ungodly, and the son good, the iniquity of the father shall nothing hurt him. But if the father be good, and the son wicked, the godliness of the father shall nothing profit him. And therefore Jerome sayeth: He avengeth the iniquity of the Fathers upon the children, not because they had evil parents, but because they imitate their parents. The words themselves do sufficiently declare, that the law is not to be understand of Original sin, but of that sin which they call actual. For then shall the son bear the iniquity of the Father, when he likewise sinneth as did the Father. Also the words of Ezekiel can not be understand of Original sin, as that which followeth easily declareth. Although this sentence, that the soul which sinneth, it shall dye, may be understand of Original sin.2 For every man hath in himself a corrupt nature, and a proneness unto evil. Wherefore every man beareth his own sin. For although that vice were by original drawn of the parents: yet now is it made ours.
