Q. Why doth he make God a Liar?
Q. Why doth he make God a Lyar?
A. 1. Because God hath given his Son Christ to cleanse us from all sin, and to what end should he send Christ to cleanse sin, if we had no sin; he that saith ⟨p. 48⟩he hath no sin, overthrows the coming of Christ, and the cleansing virtue his blood.

2. God hath often said, all men are Sinners, in his Word, Rom. 3.23. Gal. 3, 22. Job 15.14. What is man that he should be clean? Job 7.20. David an holy man, yet professeth, Psal. 130.3. Psal. 143.2. the perfectest of Gods Servants have testified of themselves, that they are Sinners, therefore if we say we have not sinned, we make God a Liar.
