21 Touching Irenaeus and Tertullian, 1I have already spoken. Cyprian also saith, that Christ healed the wounds which Adam made, and the venom wherewith the devil infected our nature. 2Cyprian acknowledgeth infirmity to be derived from the sin of our first parent, wherewith we be so provoked unto sin, as no man can flatter himself in his own innocency: for who can boast that he hath a clean hart? For as John saith, 3If we shall say that we have no sin, we deceive our selves, and there is no truth in us. Again, Cyprian in his epistle unto Fidus teacheth, that Children must be baptised, least they perish everlastingly. Also Augustine citeth Reticius, the bishop, whose words we recited before: he citeth also Olympius a bishop of Spain, who saith, that The sin of Adam the first framed man was so sprinkled among the young plants, that sin is borne together with man. He also citeth Hilarius, which thus wrote concerning the flesh of Christ; Therefore he being sent in the similitude of sinful flesh; even so he had sin. But because all flesh is of sin, namely of the sin derived from Adam the first parent, he was sent in the similitude of sinful flesh; so that there was no sin in him, but the similitude of sinful flesh. The same father in another place expounding the 18. psalm, urgeth this sentence of David; Behold how I was shapen in wickedness, and in sin my mother hath conceived me. The same father in an homily upon the book of Job saith; that The body is a matter of naughtiness, which could not so be said to be at the first creation. 4And Ambrose upon Luke saith, that The body is a foul puddle, and harborough of sins; but by the benefit of Christ it is changed into the temple of God, and a holy place of virtues.
