John9:2

2 And his Disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind ?

The Disciples question, supposed two things for Truth; 1. That all bodily Punishments and Afflictions come upon men for Sin. 2 That as some come upon ther[illegible: 1 letter] for personal Sins, so others come upon them for the sins of their Parents. The latter is unquestionably true: so in the former, but not Universally: as there are Afflictions which are Punishments of Sin, so there are some that are Trials.
