Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
To habitual, whether it be that innate and inbred of original sin; or whether it be that habitual voluntarily contracted, you have both the actual and habitual [Greek or Hebrew], excellently put together, Rom. 6.19 As you have yielded your members servants to iniquity unto iniquity: where by the former iniquity is meant original and habitual sin; by the later, actual sin as the fruit of the former. It hath been doubted, how habitual, especially original sin can be called truly sin, because it is not voluntary: for that voluntariness should be of the nature of sin, is so universally acknowledged, that neither Doctorum paucitas, nor Indoctorum turba do dissenti•e: neither the few learned men, or the many unlearned did ever gain-say, said Austin: And besides, All sin must be forbidden by a Law, now how are we forbidden to be born without sin? Would not such a prohibition be ridiculous?
To habitual, whether it be that innate and imbred of original sin; or whether it be that habitual voluntarily contracted, you have both the actual and habitual 〈non-Latin alphabet〉, excellently put together, Rom. 6.19 As you have yeelded your members servants to iniquity unto iniquity: where by the former iniquity is meant original and habitual sin; by the later, actual sin as the fruit of the former. It hath been doubted, how habitual, especially original sin can be called truly sin, because it is not voluntary: for that voluntarinesse should be of the nature of sin, is so universally acknowledged, that neither Doctorum paucitas, nor Indoctorum turba do dissenti•e: neither the few learned men, or the many unlearned did ever gain-say, said Austin: And besides, All sin must be forbidden by a Law, now how are we forbidden to be born without sinne? Would not such a prohibition be ridiculous?
Again, The commands of God seem to be for good actions, not for the habits of good actions.
