Propositions and principles of divinity propounded and disputed in the university of Geneva, by certain students of divinity there, under M. Theod. Beza, and M. Anthony Faius ... Wherein is contained a methodical summary, or epitome of the common places of divinity. Translated out of Latin into English, to the end that the causes, both of the present dangers of that Church, and also of the troubles of those that are hardly dealt with else-where, may appear in the English tongue.Propositions and principles of diuinitie propounded and disputed in the vniuersitie of Geneua, by certaine students of diuinitie there, vnder M.

7 There are two effects of original sin: the guilt or the offence, whereby all men (even infants, which yet have committed no actual sin) are made subject unto Gods wrath, and both deaths; and also the want and privation of original righteousness, and the inclination unto all sorts of wickedness.
7 There are two effectes of originall sinne: the guilt or the offence, whereby all men (euen infants, which yet haue committed no actuall sinne) are made subject vnto Gods wrath, and both deathes; and also the want and priuation of originall righteousnes, and the inclination vnto all sorts of wickednes.
Therefore, the scripture teacheth, that all men must be born again; even infants and all, unto whom for this cause, we do rightly maintain against the ANABAPTISTS, that the sign of Regeneration is to be administered: Although we make no question; but that the relics of corruption doth still remain, and is not utterly taken away; after Baptism, whatsoever the Papists say to the contrary.
Therfore, the scripture teacheth, that al mē must be born againe; euen infants and all, vnto whome for this cause, wee doe rightlie maintaine against the ANABAPTISTS, that the signe of Regeneration is to be administred: Although we make no question; but that the reliques of corruption doth still remaine, and is not vtterly taken away; after Baptisme, whatsoeuer the Papists say to the contrary.
8 Actual sin is, when the law of GOD is broken in ⟨p. 41⟩deed: and that is two manner of ways; either when as that which God commandeth is omitted, or that which he forbiddeth is committed. Whence those two sorts of sins, uz. omitted and committed, sprang up in the Schools. The first whereof, ariseth, in that we are unmeet to do well: The latter, in that we are prone unto every evil.
