Accordingly there are many— adults and infants — of whose salvation we may be sure, but of rep- robation we cannot be sure ; such a judg- ment is necessarily unsafe even as to adults apparently living in sin, while as to infants who " die and give no sign/' it is presump- tuous and rash in the extreme. The above is practically an outline of the teaching of Zwingli. He himself worked it out in its logical completeness, and taught : 1. That all believers are elect and hence are saved, though we c...annot know infallibly who are true believers except in our own case. 2.

It is probable, from the superabundance >-- 38 THE DOCTRINE OF of the gift of grace over the offence, that all infants dying such are elect and saved ; so that death in infancy is a sign of elec- tion ; and although this must be left with God, it is certainly rash and even impious to affirm their damnation.
