Neither in very deed is this […] controversy, whether the Elect and Saints do sin, only while they feel the flames of Concupiscence, ⟨p. 143⟩which to be incident to all the Saints while they remain in •his mortal flesh, none doth doubt of; or whether even sometime they fall by some consent into divers sins, and those most grievous, being committed as well against the first as second Table. For we all do know that David and Peter did commit most notorious crimes, the one against the second, the other against the first table, and that by consent and voluntarily, but yet, as hereafter I will declare, not by plenary consent. This is the error of c•rtaine Anabaptists and Libertines who affirm, That although they do likewise feel the affections of the flesh, yet they never so consent thereunto, as that they truly and properly do sin.
