This Chapter is the common seat and proper place, wherein the nature of original inherent sin is expressly handled; so that he who by reading of this Chapter shall not be convinced that there is such a thing as original sin, and that in some measure putting it self forth in the godly to their great grief and misery, I think we may say, he would not believe any such thing, though men should rise from the dead, and come and preach it to us. I shall in time (God willing) fully improve the chief matter herein contained; for herein is described that Christian conflict which is in all the godly between the regenerate and unregenerate part, as also the consequents thereof: For the present, I must take two Hypotheses, or Suppositions for granted, which in time (God willing) I shall fully prove.
