INFRALAPSARIUS

Volume 9 · 64 words · 1797 Edition

the name of a sect of predestinarians, who maintain, that God has created a certain number 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; in contradistinction to the Supralapsarians.
