SECT. I.
EPHES. 2. 3. And were by nature the children of wrath, as well as others.
THE true Doctrine of Original Corruption is of so great concernment, that Austin thought, De Peccato Orig. contra Pelag. & Cellest. 2. cap. 24. the Sum of Religion to consist in knowing of this, as the effect of the first Adam, and also of Christ the second Adam with all his glorious benefits. Though therefore Coelestius of old thought it to be but Recquaestionis, not fides, Ibidem cap. 4. And others of late have wholly rejected it, as Austin's figment, yet certainly the true way of Humiliation for sin, or Justification by Christ, cannot be firmly established, unless the true Doctrine of this be laid as a Foundation-stone in the building.
