me think all the rest of our own will is little worth,1 or nought at all, unless it be to wickedness. So me think here be places enough to prove that a man hath no free will to do good of himself: with a hundred places moe, that I could recite if time did serve. And as for original sin, I think I have declared my mind therein, how it remaineth in man: which you can not deny, unless you deny the word of God. Now, if you will suffer me, I will prove my saying of Jacob and Esau, that I brought in, to prove that faith was before baptism, and you refused it, because (you said) Jacob was not baptised.2 If you will give me leave, you shall see what I can say therein: for me think you think my talk long. This I said, because I saw he was sore offended at my sayings.

So me think here be places enough to proue that a man hath no free will to doe good of himselfe: with a hundred places moe, that I could recite if time did serue. And as for originall sinne, I thinke I haue declared my mind therin, how it remaineth in man: whiche you can not denye, vnlesse you deny the word of God. Now, if you will suffer me, I will proue my saying of Iacob and Esau, that I brought in, to proue that faith was before baptisme, and you refused it, because (you sayd) Iacob was not baptised.2 If you will geue me leaue, you shall see what I can say therin: for me think you think my talke long. This I sayd, because I saw he was sore offended at my sayinges.
