CHAP. VIII. Of the state of corrupted Nature.
Q. 1. How came this weakness and disability upon us?
A. By the sin, and 1shameful fall of our first Parents, Rom. 5. 12. 14.
- 1This is that which commonly is called Original sin, which in general denoteth the whole misery and corruption of our Nature, as first, the guilt of Adams actual sin to us imputed; secondly, loss of Gods glorious Image, Innocency, and Holiness; thirdly, deriving by propagation a nature, 1. defiled with the Pollution; 2. laden with the Guilt; 3. subdued to the Power of Sin; 4. a being exposed to all temporal Miseries, leading to, and procuring Death; 5. an Alienation from God, with voluntary Obedience to Satan, and lust; 6. an utter disability to good, or to labour for Mercy; 7. eternal Damnation of Body and Soul in Hell.
