Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezekiel 18:4

4 Behold, all soules are mine, as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die:

There can be no colour of partial Judgment in the proceedings of God, who is equally God to all; who hath as great interest in the Son, as in the Father, and as kindly would deal with the Son as with the Father, and how can it be thought likely I should punish the Son for the Fathers offence, or the Father for the Sons offence.

All persons, which are frequently called Souls, Lev. 7.18, 20, 21. and Iosh. 20.3. and so it is ver. 20. and Ier. 31.30.

The person, whether Father, or Son shall die, shall bear his own punishment; this Text gives no colour for the opinion of the mortality of man's Soul.

i. e. Obstinately, and yet will pretend his own innocency, who so sinneth, shall suffer for his own sin.

You querulous Jews suffer then for your own sins, and had you been, as you say, you are Innocent, the sins of your Fathers should not have hurt you, and for the future know, I will keep to that rule of Equity; no Innocent person shall be prejudiced by the guilt of Nocent ones. And if one that is, for ought we can discern, absolutely, innocent, yet suffers for another mans sin, 'tis most certain such a sufferer is not absolutely innocent, but someway or other is guilty of the sin, for which he suffers.
