England from deliverance from the guilt of original sin?
No; for the conclusion of the Office of Infant Baptism[1] declares that all baptized infants dying before they have committed actual sin are undoubtedly saved.
What is the faith which must be in those adult persons who are delivered from condemnation?
A full confidence in God and hearty reception of the whole Gospel as the way of salvation. See the Homily on Faith, Part I.
But are those who believe and are baptized entirely delivered from original sin?
No; "this infection of nature remains even in the regenerate."
Who are meant by "them that are regenerated?"
"Them that are baptized:" for in the Latin copy of the Articles, the same word, renatis, is used for both baptized and regenerated.
How does this infection show itself?
By its fruits: for by it "the lust of the flesh," even in the regenerate, "is not subject to the law of God."
Quote some Scripture, showing that this is the case.
1 St. John ii. 16; Rom. viii. 7.
What effect has this infection upon the spiritual condition of those who believe and are baptized?
