INFRA LAPSARIA, the name of a sect of predesti-
narians, who maintain, that God has created a certain num-
ber of men only to be damned, without allowing them the
means necessary to save themselves, if they would; and
they are thus called, because they hold that God's decrees
were formed infra lapsum, after his knowledge of the fall,
and in consequence thereof. The Infralapsarians are con-
tradistinguished from the SUPRALAPSARIANS.
