VIII. A confirmation of the former opinion.

:201p. 42

For as a man being dead unto nature and to men, can do none of those things which belong to nature and to man: so neither can he which is dead unto god in sin, truly know or do those things which belong unto god or true godliness, but shall altogether consume and putrefy in sin, unless he be delivered out of the same with grace by Christ, and be called to life again. For all men without Christ and not regenerate by Christs spirit are quite dead, so as they are said to be truly revived, raised up, and borne again, which are delivered from sin by faith in Christ, and do serve him.

For as a man beeing dead vnto nature and to men, can do none of those things which belong to nature and to man: so neither can hee which is dead vnto god in sinne, truely know or doe those things which belong vnto god or true godlinesse, but shall altogether consume and putrifie in sinne, vnlesse he be deliuered out of the same with grace by Christ, and bee called to life againe. For all mē without Christ and not regenerate by Christs spirit are quite dead, so as they are said to bee truely reuiued, raised vp, and borne againe, which are deliuered from sinne by faith in Christ, and do serue him.
