22 Now let us examine the other place, which these men go about to wrest from us; Whatsoever is not of faith, 1is sin.

The reason which he gaue, was; For that it is not of faith. But séeing this saieng is but particular, neither could that, which he had spoken, be reduced to a Syllogisme, vnlesse there should be added an vniuersall poposition, therefore he added; that Whatsoeuer is not of faith, is sinne.
