ANSWER

I deny the minor of this argument. And I believe that God always gives

sufficient aid and grace to those who have good will, that is to say, who

do not reject this grace by a fresh sin. Thus I do not admit the damnation

of children dying unbaptized or outside the Church, or the damnation of

adult persons who have acted according to the light that God has given

them. And I believe that, _if anyone has followed the light he had_, he

will undoubtedly receive thereof in greater measure as he has need, even as

the late Herr Hulsemann, who was celebrated as a profound theologian at

Leipzig, has somewhere observed; and if such a man had failed to receive

light during his life, he would receive it at least in the hour of death.
