But of the power to choose the good or refuse the ill, thus we think. We distinguish good and ill into three kinds, that is, in such things as pertain to the animal life, & in such things as pertain to humane life, and in such as pertain to the divine, that is, a christian life. Of the first kind, are such things as are in a manner common unto us with beasts, & do belong unto the vegetable and sensitive ⟨p. 40⟩faculties. In the second kind are reckoned, such things as are proper unto man, and pertain to a human mind, as are all the arts, aswell mechanical as liberal, the moral and politic virtues, lastly, all sciences, and all philosophy. And the third kind containeth, only those good things, and good actions, which are ordained only to the kingdom of god, & a christian life: as are the true knowledge of god, faith, and the effects thereof, regeneration, obedience, charity, and other of the same sort.

But of the power to choose the good or refuse the ill, thus wee thinke. Wee distinguish good and ill into three kindes, that is, in such things as pertain to the animal life, & in such things as pertaine to humane life, and in such as pertaine to the diuine, that is, a christian life. Of the first kinde, are such thinges as are in a manner common vnto vs with beastes, & doe belong vnto the vegetable and sensitiue ⟨p. 40⟩
