I. Our consent.
I. Conclus. They say, natural corruption after baptism is abolished, and so say we: but let us see how far it is abolished. In original sin are three things: I. the punishment, which is the first and second death. II. Guiltiness, which is the binding up of the creature unto punishment. III. the fault or the offending of God, under which I comprehend our Guiltiness in Adams first offence, as also the Corruption of the heart: which is, a natural inclination & proneness to any thing that is evil or against the law of God. For the first we say, that after baptism in the regenerate, the punishment of original sin is taken away: There is no condemnation (saith the Apostle) to them that be in Christ Jesus.
