CHAP. I.
The Evidence of Original Sin from the Nature of Redemption, in the Procurement of it.
According to Dr. T—r's Scheme, a very great Part of Mankind are the Subjects of Christ's Redemption, who live and die perfectly innocent; who never have had, and never will have any Sin charged to their Account, and never are either the Subjects of, or exposed to any Punishment whatsoever, viz. All that die in Infancy. They are the Subjects of Christ's Redemption, as he redeems 'em from Death, or as they by his Righteousness have Justification, and by his Obedience are made Righteous, in the Resurrection of the Body, in the Sense of Rom. v. 18, 19. And all Mankind are thus the Subjects of Christ's Redemption, while they are perfectly guiltless, and exposed to no Punishment, as by Christ they are entitled to a Resurrection. Though with respect to such Persons as have sinned, he allows it is in some Sort by Christ and his Death, that they are saved from Sin and the Punishment of it.
