If M. Harding say, we wrest, and rack S. Augustine, and take his words otherwise, then he meant, Albertus Pighius his own Principal Doctor will control him. 1Thus he writeth: Augustinus tradit, hanc ipsam Concupiscentiam Corpori nostro inspersam, atque innatam in nondum renatis verè, & propriè Peccatum esse: quae ignoscatur quidem, sed non tollatur in Baptismo: S. Augustine teacheth us, that this same Concupiscence planted in our Body, in them, that be not regenerate by Baptism, Verily, and in plain manner of speech is Sin: and that the same Concupiscence is forgiven in Baptism, but is not utterly taken away.
If M. Hardinge saie, wee wreaste, and racke S. Augustine, and take his woordes otherwise, then he meante, Albertus Pighius his owne Principal Doctour wil control him. 1Thus he writeth: Augustinus tradit, hanc ipsam Concupiscentiam Corpori nostro inspersam, atque innatam in nondum renatis verè, & propriè Peccatum esse: quae ignoscatur quidem, sed non tollatur in Baptismo: S.

Yet the late blessed Chapter of Trident, in spite of S. Augustine, hath published the Contrary: 1Hanc Concupiscentiam, quam Apostolus aliquando appellat Peccatum, Sancta Synodus declarat, Ecclesiam Catholicam nunquam intellexisse, quòd verè, & propriè in renatis Peccatum sit: sed quia ex Peccato est, & ad Peccatum inclinat. Si quis autem contrarium senserit, Anathema sit: The Concupiscence, which the Apostle S. Paul sometime calleth Sin, this Holy Council declareth, that the Catholic Church never understood it to be called sin, for that it is so in deed, and in Proper manner of Speech, in them that be Baptized: but because it is of Sin, and inclineth us unto Sin. And if any man think the Contrary, accused be he. Thus we see, that by the Decree of this worthy Convent, S. Ambrose, and S. Augustine, & other Holy Fathers, that have written the same, are all accursed.
