3. Whereas you say only of actual sins, that we are purged from them by the effectual application of Christs merits; I hope your meaning is not, to exclude the purgation of original sin, and liberation from malediction in Adam from the effect of Christs merits. The blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth us from all sin. And David repented of his original sin, as well as of his actual, and so do we. And when in respect of the law of his members, leading him captive to the law of sin, the Apostle cries out, wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me, &c. Immediately he comforteth himself in this manner, I thank my God through Jesus Christ.

4. When you say, that Gods decree of purging us from actual sins, is one of the decrees de mediis, you do not tell us what you call that other decree, whereby God decreeth to free us from that general curse and malediction whereto we were obnoxious in Adam. But by the difference you put, you leave us to interpret it, of Gods decree de fine: Now there is no such proportion, or disproportion between these decrees, that the decree of freeing from original sin, or from the malediction in Adam, should be decretum de fine, and the decree of purging from actual sins, should be decretum de mediis.
