The fruits of this sin are consequently the evil works, which in the ⟨image 21⟩ten commandments, 1are forbidden as unbelief, false faith, Idolatry, to be without the fruits of god, arrogancy, despair, blindness: & summa, not to know god, nor to regard him. Consequently, to lye, to swear by the name of god. Not to pray, not to worship, not to regard gods word, disobedience unto the parents, murder, uncleanliness, to steal, to beguile &c. This original sin is such a very deep & evil destruction of nature, that no wit doth know her: but must be believed through the revelation of the scripture. Psal. li. Ro. v. Exo. xxxiii. Gene. iii. Therefore is it nothing but error & blindness, contrary to this Article, whatsoever Theologians have taught.

Cōsequently, to lye, to sweare by the name of god. Not to pray, not to worshippe, not to regarde gods word, disobediēce vnto the parentes, murther, vnclenlynes, to steale, to begyle &c. This original synne is suche a very depe & euyll destructiō of nature, that no witte doth knowe her: but must be beleued through the reuelatiō of the scripture. Psal. li. Ro. v. Exo. xxxiii. Gene. iii. Therfore is it nothynge but errour & blyndnes, contrary to this Article, whatsoeuer Theologiens haue taught.
