P. And is all come to this? What mean you then to rail at us that say the same? We all say that God hateth our sin, and the faulty imperfection of our holiness and obedience? and what say you more?
Lib. But you say not that God hateth your Righteousness for the sin that cleaveth to it, though not for it self; as we do. Your Goodness is like an Apple fallen into the dirt or poisoned; and you are for wiping it, and keeping it: but God and wise men abhor it for the filth, and cast it away.
Lib. But you say not that God hateth your Righteousness for the sin that cleaveth to it, though not for it self; as we do. Your Goodness is like an Apple faln into the dirt or poysoned; and you are for wiping it, and keeping it: but God and wise men abhor it for the filth, and cast it away.
