2. But the meaning of Remigius and the Church of Lyons is the same with that of Prosper formerly mentioned, in his answer to the objection of Vincentius, where he confesseth, Hominem non redemptum Diabolo esse captivum, a man not redeemed is captivated by Satan; and that, creatura peccatrix poenalem dominationem Diaboli merito patitur, cui (relicto vero domino) sponte se vendidit. The creature sinning deservedly suffers the dominion of Satan by way of punishment, as to whom he sold him selfe voluntarily. Haec quippe servitus non institutio est Dei sed judicium. This slavery of man to Satan is not God's institution but judgment; that is God brought it upon him not of his mere pleasure, but in the way of judgment. Like as 1Austin in like manner acknowledgeth, concupiscence to be, not sin only, but the punishment of sin also. So Remigius and the Chuch of Lyons say; that God imposed it not on Adam but man falling from God brought a necessity of sinning upon him, & upon all his race; God hereupon justly withdrawing his holy Spirit from him.
