Conformable to this doctrine is the sentence of our Saviour, concerning the man that was born blind, in these words: “Neither hath this man sinned, nor his fathers: but that the works of God might be made manifest in him.” And though it be said, “that death entered into the world by sin” (by which is meant, that if Adam had never sinned, he had never died, that is, never suffered any separation of his soul from his body), it follows not thence, that God could not justly have afflicted him, though he had not sinned, as well as He afflicteth other living creatures that cannot sin.
