Moreover, the spirit is given, wherewith the strength of concupiscence may be broken; that although it do stick within us, yet that it shall not reign [over us;] for to this end Paul exhorteth us, 1when he saith; Let not sin reign in your mortal bodies. Again on the other part he is deceived, 2in that he thinketh Augustine to judge, that the concupiscence which remaineth after baptism is no sin at all; but most especially, if the sin be considered alone, [as it is] by it self: for in most plain words he declareth it in his own nature to be sin; because it is disobedience, against the which we must continually wrestle. 3And where he denieth the same to be sin, it must be understood as concerning guiltiness; for that out of all doubt, is taken away in regeneration. For by that means it comes to pass, that although it be very sin indeed; yet God doth not impute it for sin. Moreover, Augustine doth compare concupiscence with those sins, which are called actual; by the comparison whereof, it may be said, to be no sin: for it is far from the grievousness of them. But I marvel how Pighius dare say, that Augustine determineth without testimony of the scriptures, that concupiscence is original sin; seeing he, in his disputations against the Pelagians, defendeth his opinion chiefly out of the holy scriptures. 4And the cause why he calleth original sin concupiscence, is, for that original corruption doth chiefly declare it self, through the unpurer desires of the mind, and of the flesh.
Moreouer, the spirit is giuen, wherewith the strength of concupiscence maie be broken; that although it doo sticke within vs, yet that it shall not reigne [ouer vs;] for to this end Paule exhorteth vs, 1when he saith; Let not sinne reigne in your mortall bodies. Againe on the other part he is deceiued, 2in that he thinketh Augustine to iudge, that the concupiscence which remaineth after baptisme is no sinne at all; but most especiallie, if the sinne be considered alone, [as it is] by it selfe: for in most plaine words he declareth it in his owne nature to be sinne; bicause it is disobedience, against the which we must continuallie wrestle.
