OF ORIGINAL SIN.
OF ORIGINALL SIN.
Original sin is the guilt of all mankind, 1by reason of the fall of our first Parents, and a privation of the knowledge of God and his will in our mind, and of all inclination to obey God with our will and heart; and of the contrary, in these there remaineth a wicked inclination to those things which God forbiddeth, and backwardness in those things which he commandeth, ensuing upon the fall of our first Parents, and derived from them unto all their posterity, and so corrupting their whole nature, that all by reason of this corruption are become guilty of the everlasting anger of God, neither can they do any thing pleasing and acceptable to God, 2except remission be granted for the Son of God the Mediator, and a renewing of their nature by the holy Ghost. Of this sin it is said, Death reigned even over them also that sinned not after the like manner of the transgression of Adam. In sin hath my mother conceived me. Original sin then containeth two things:§1 3The guilt of eternal damnation for the sin of our first Parents. §24The corruption of mans whole nature after the fall. Of both these Paul saith, By one man sin entered into the world, 5and death by sin; and so death went over all men, forasmuch as all men have sinned.
