1The expositors for the most part understand this place of the first Father Adam: 2others rather refer it to Abraham. As if the Prophet should say; You have not only sinned, but your father Abraham 3also: notwithstanding all the holiness wherewith he was endued. By teachers, they understand Moses 4and Aron, 5which sinned: albeit they were adorned with singular graces. And if the case stood so with your father and teachers, how much more are you sinners, who are their inferiors?6 And thus according to their sense, it should be an argument taken from the greater to the less.
