The answer.

I say first, that God is not vniust, though he punish vs for [ 1] that which we cannot auoide: for infants cannot auoide origi∣nal sinne; and yet may they iustly be damned for the same. No [ 2] Papist can or will this denie. I say secondly with saint Au∣sten, that euerie sinne (which is not poena peccati) is so volun∣tarie, [ 3] as if it be not voluntarie, it is no sinne at all. I say third∣ly, that it is our owne fault and not Gods, that we can doe no good, but sinne. And because the necessitie of sinning cme by our selues, who all sinned voluntarily in our first parent A∣dam, we are iustly punished in him, and for his disobedience: for he receiued grace vpon this condition, that if he kept it and sinned not, we should all be partakers thereof; but if he lost it by disobedience, al his posteritie should loose it with him, and be iustly punished for the same.
