But thou, wilt say: Why is it said that God in them punisheth the sins of other men, when as they also sin? We should say rather that he punisheth their sins, ⟨p. 182⟩and not the since of their parents. I answer: Because when god hath much and long time waited, that their father should repent, and it nothing profited, and in the mean time it is come unto the third and fourth generation, at the length he poureth out his anger upon the children, which therefore are said to suffer for their fathers, because unless the malice of their fathers had gone before, their affliction might have ben deferred till farther time. But now because they have fallen into the third and fourth generation, the consideration of the justice of god will not suffer the punishment to be deferred any longer. And although they themselves also have deserved those evils, yet because they are so corrected in the third and fourth generation, they owe that duty unto their parents.
But thou, wilt saye: Why is it sayd yt God in thē punisheth the sinnes of other mē, when as they also sinne? We should say rather yt he punisheth their sinnes, ⟨p. 182⟩and not the synnes of their parentes. I answere: Bycause when god hath much and longe tyme wayted, that their father should repent, and it nothing profited, and in the meane tyme it is come vnto the third and fourth generation, at the length he poureth out his anger vpon the children, whiche therefore are sayd to suffer for their fathers, bicause vnles the malice of their fathers had gone before, their affliction might haue ben deferred till farther time. But now bycause they haue fallen into the third and fourth generation, the consideration of the iustice of god wil not suffer the punishement to be deferred any longer. And althoughe they themselues also haue deserued those euils, yet bycause they are so corrected in the third and fourth generation, they owe that dewty vnto their parentes.
