Some Heretics have denied some parts of the Scripture, and Infidels deny it all. And what less do all ungodly men, that believe it not heartily, and will not obey it, but deny it in parts, and refuse subjection to it? They will not be so holy, not they, let Scripture say what it will. Are not all the ungodly against the Scripture? Many a ⟨p. 51⟩time have I heard them, when the times more encouraged them, deriding the Bible, and those that did but carry a Bible, or speak of the Scripture, or read it in their houses. Certainly, he that fights against Scripture in his life, is more against it, then he that only denies it with his tongue.

Moreover, the Pelagian Heretics denied Original sin, and justified mans Nature: And so doth profaneness in a very great measure. Never were the ungodly truly humbled for their Original sin, nor saw any such matter in themselves, as to make them abhor themselves! And what is this but actually to deny it?
