To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Every individual does indeed receive existence and the continuance of life by an act of divine sovereignty; but his case differs from that of in- fants, from the moment when he becomes a personal transgressor. Sinners abuse ^ tlie blessing of ex- istence, and thus become anaenable to judicial retribution. Left to the consequences of their sin, they will be inevitably and eternally miserable ; but 73 unless punishment be arbitrarily inflicted, infants can endure none. The final condemnation of s...in- ners will manifest the righteousness of God, justi- fying his procedure, not only in the view of other creatures, but in the consciences of the condemned ; but if infants be condemned, it appears inconceiv- able how the righteousness of God should be manifested in the view of other creatures, or how they themselves should endure a sense of guilt, unless under a false impression, which is as abhor- rent to justice as to benevolence. When God so awfully declares that he will "visit the iniquities of the fathers upon the chil- dren, " nothing more may be intended, than that, on account of the sins of the parents, temporal cala- mities shall befal their offspring.
