The first sin under grace • and their since are venial, that is to say, forgivable. The other sin under the law and under the damnation of the law, and fight (for a great part of them) against grace and against the spirit of grace, and against the law of God and faith of Christ, and corrupt the text of the covenant with false glosses, and are disobedient to God and therefore sin deadly.

The fyrste synne vnder grace • and theyr synnes are venyall, that is to saye, forgeueable. The other synne vnder the lawe and vnder the damnacyon of the lawe, and fyght (for a great parte of them) agaynste grace and agaynste the spirite of grace, and agaynst the lawe of God and fayth of Christ, and corrupte the texte of the couenaūt with false gloses, and are dysobedyent to God and therfore synne dedly.
