The second reply of Thomas CartwrightThe second replie of Thomas Cartwright

And where he saith / that the words going before (which are Blessed is he that condemneth not him self, in the thing which he alloweth) do prove that sense off his: it is spoken without all consideration off the place For how cometh it to pass / that he rather referreth these words off Saint Paul not to be off faith, to this sentence / which is ⟨p. LIX⟩farther removed: then to that off doing with doubt / which goeth immediately before / yea wherewith it is coupled in the same verse / with a conjunction causal? And although the reason sometime be referred / unto that which goeth farther off: yet that is both rarely / and then / when by no means it can agree with that / with goeth immediately before. Which can not be here / considering especially / that it could not be unknown / but that he which doth against his conscience / sinneth / whereby the Apostle should need make any proof of it. but off him which doth a thing staggering and wavering / there might be some doubt / whether he sinned. and therefore the Apostle having said / that he is condemned in so doing: addeth this reason / for that he doth it not of faith, which being sin / is therefore damnable.

And where he saithe / that the wordes going before (which are Blessed is he that condemneth not hym selffe, in the thing vvhich he allovvethe) do proue that sense off his: it is spoken withowt all consideration off the place For how commeth yt to passe / that he rather referrethe these wordes off Saint Paule not to be off faithe, to this sentence / which is ⟨p. LIX⟩farther remoued: then to that off doing with dowbte / which goeth immediately before / yea wherwith it is coupled in the same verse / withe a coniunction causall? And althowghe the reason sometime be referred / vnto that which goethe farther off: yet that is bothe rarely / and then / when by no meanes yt can agree withe that / wich goeth immediatelie before. Which can not be here / considering especially / that it could not be vnknowen / but that he which dothe against his conscience / sinneth / wherby the Apostle should neede make any proufe of it. but off him which doothe a thing staggering and waueringe / ther might be some dowbte / whether he synned. and therfore the Apostle hauinge said / that he is condemned in so doinge: addethe this reason / for that he dothe it not of faithe, which beinge sinne / is therfore damnable.
