Vppon the 7. chapter. The 11. aphorisme.

Among other thinges which Iulianus the Pelagian obiected to Augustine, proouing & defending originall sinne, these were some: that either he made God an author of sinne, or the de∣uill a creator of man: and that because, the Pela∣gians thought that Aughstine made originall sinne, the very substance of man. Al which ob∣iections, he confuted in his 7. Tome, against Pelag. the 5. booke and first chapter in these words. Neither do we ascribe iniustice to God, but rather equitie, in that, euen infants are punished, not vniustly with such and so many euills, as we see: nei∣ther doe we attribute the making of man, but the cor∣rupting and depra••ing of mans originall to the deuill:

neither doe we graunt a substance in the sinne, but an act•• of it in the first man: and a contagion thereof in all his posterity: neither do we graunt vnto infants, a conscience without knowledge, in vvhome is neither conscience nor knowledge: but he knewe what he did, in vvhome all haue sinned, and from whome all haue drawn•• corruption &c.
