Cap. IX Arg. 11 Sol: baptism seals as Arminians allow — original-sin remission for every infant; actual-sin remission and regeneration for believers when adult
And we can say no less than the Arminians themselves. Baptism seals to every infant the remission of original sin, by which alone infant age is held. It also seals remission of actual sins prepared in Christ's blood for those who repent and believe when they come to adulthood and fall into actual sins. It seals, further, regeneration and renewal wrought from the incorruptible seed of word and Spirit in all believers, once they live to an age capable of the divine word.
Latin
Et dicere possumus non minus quam ipsi Arminiani, Baptismum obsignare cuivis infanti originalis peccati remissionem, quo solo tenetur aetas infantilis; obsignare etiam actualium peccatorum remissionem in Christi sanguine paratam resipiscentibus et credentibus, cum ad aetatem adultam pervenerint, et in actualia inciderint; obsignare etiam regenerationem et innovationem ex incorruptibili semine verbi Spiritusque efficiendam in omnibus credentibus, postquam ad aetatem verbi Divini capacem vixerint.
