Yea so far do we learn, that concupiscence of it own nature is a sin, fighting against the law of God, and making all men subject to condemnation, unless they be delivered by Christ: yea that in the regenerate themselves, though the guiltiness being taken away by faith in Christ, it be not imputed unto them any more, yet we doubt not, ¹but it is a sin, yea and that worthy of eternal death: sith it is [Greek or Hebrew], a transgression of the law, and is by gods law condemned as the Apostle teacheth.

Yea so farre doe we learne, that concupiscence of it owne nature is a sinne, fighting against the lavve of God, and making all men subiect to condemnation, vnlesse they bee deliuered by Christ: yea that in the regenerate themselues, though the guiltines being taken away by faith in Christ, it be not imputed vnto them anie more, yet we doubt not, ¹but it is a sinne, yea and that worthy of eternall death: sith it is 〈non-Latin alphabet〉, a transgression of the lawe, and is by gods lawe condemned as the Apostle teacheth.
