Ob. 7. It is said, When lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin; 1and sin when it is finished bringeth forth death. Here, say they, James saith, that there is one sin finished, when as the will upon deliberation consenteth to evil lust: another not finished, when a man sinneth ⟨p. 58⟩without deliberation) and to sin finished he ascribeth, that it bringeth forth death. We answer, that the consequence of this is not o• force, because that a property which belongeth to divers kinds, when it is ascribed to one kind, it followeth not thereof, that it is to be removed from the other.2 For S. James distinguisheth the kinds or degrees of sins, Original and Actual: and saith, that death followeth after Actual; not as if death did not follow after Original, but because that actual is a middle between Original sin and death, as a cause of this, and an effect of that, and doth aggravate death or punishment, which already was purchased by Original sin. Neither doth he chiefly speak of the degrees of punishments, but of the cause and original of them to be sought in the corruption of our own nature.
