OF ORIGINAL SIN.
OF ORIGINAL SINNE.
That there is Original sin in all men, 1is proved and maintained against the Pelagians, and the Anabaptists, 1. By the Testimonies of Scripture: As,a who can bring a clean thing out of filthiness? bIn sin hath my mother conceived me. cWhich are borne not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. dHe that believeth not the Son, the wrath of God abideth on him. eThe fault came of one offence unto condemnation. fWe were by nature the children of wrath. 2. Because infants also are subject to sin: because they die. But they have not sin by imitation: therefore by propagation. Which is also confirmed by Testimonies of Scripture.g All the imaginations of mans heart are only evil, and that continually. hI called thee a transgressor from thy womb.
