Here is my brief answer: far from denying Christ’s medicine to infants, whom we know to be innocent, we acknowledge that they especially need it in greater abundance.They are born tiny and weak, unable not only to feed themselves through their own labor but even to ask their parents for help.They are exposed to so many accidents that even milk that is too thick, and often the sleep of those nursing them, can cause their death.
Ecce enim breviter respondeo adeo nos Christi medicinam parvulis, quos innocentes novimus, non negare, ut illos potissimum copiosiore ea indigere fateamur. Nascuntur enim exigui, debiles, qui non solum ali proprio labore non possint, verum nec implorare queant opem parentum, qui tam multis casibus obnoxii sunt, ut eis etiam lac densius et lactantium plerumque somnus exitio sit.
