SECT. I.
JOE 14. 4. Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? Not one.
Though other pregnant Texts in the New Testament may be brought to confirm this Necessary and Fundamental Truth about original sin, yet I shall forbear them, till I come to the handling of the Nature of it, or what it is; For that is not true of the Remonstrants, which say, Original sin can be proved only by two or three places; although if there were no more, it's certain, that out of the mouth of two or three such Divine Witnesses, the Doctrine about it may be established.
THough other pregnant Texts in the New Testament may be brought to confirm this Necessary and Fundamental Truth about original sinne, yet I shall forbear them, till I come to the handling of the Nature of it, or what it is; For that is not true of the Remonstrants, which say, Original sinne can be proved only by two or three places; although if there were no more, it's certain, that out of the mouth of two or three such Divine Witnesses, the Doctrine about it may be established.
I come therefore and select one or two places out of the Old Testament, that so you may see this Truth was always acknowledged in the Church of God, and that even in the times of the Old Testament, where divine light and knowledge was not so plentifully communicated, yet there was full and clear evidence about this.
