Others grant, that all became faulty by reason of the fall of our first Parents; but they deny that such corruption was bred in us, as might deserve condemnation: for, the defects, as they think, with which we are borne, are no sin. But against these Sectaries and Schismatics we are to hold these four Theorems or Positions: 1. That all mankind is held guilty of Gods everlasting wrath, 1for the disobedience of our first Parents. 2. That there are in us, besides this guilt, defects and inclinations repugnant to the Law of God, even from the hour of our birth. 3. That these defects and inclinations are sins, and deserve the eternal wrath of God. 4. That these evils are derived not by imitation, but by the propagation of a corrupt nature from our first Parents unto all their posterity, except Christ only. The first, second, and third are sufficiently confirmed in that which hath already been spoken.
