Doest thou therefore distinguish betweene sinne and sinnes?
Answer. Yea, what else? For the Apostle is wont to call that natural corruption of the whole man, sin, or else the flesh set against the spirit. John. 3. 6. and oftentimes in other places: which also by it self is sin, when it dissenteth from the Law of God, and enforceth to sin, whereupon it is called sin sinning Rom. 7. 13.
