1The adultery of David with Barsabe is an ensample / not to move us to evil: but if (while we follow the way of righteousness) any chance drive us a side / that we despair not. For if we saw not such infirmities in Gods elect / we which are so weak and fall so oft should ⟨p. Cxxxvj⟩utterly despair and think that God had clean forsaken us. It is therefore a sure and an undoubted conclusion / whether we be holy or onholy / we are all sinners. But the difference is / that Gods sinners consent not to their sin.2 They consent unto the law that it is both holy and righteous and morn to have their sin taken away. But the devils sinners con sent unto their sin and would have the law and hell taken away and are enemies unto the righteousness of God.
