OF THE CONDITION OF THE OFFSPRING AS TO THE BODY
(In Two Articles)
We must now consider the condition of the offspring--first, as
regards the body; secondly, as regards virtue; thirdly, in knowledge.
Under the first head there are two points of inquiry:
(1) Whether in the state of innocence children would have had full
powers of the body immediately after birth?
(2) Whether all infants would have been of the male sex?
