Gage. Yea? doth he so? by S. Mary that is a great matter, Woodman: leave that pride. That pride will come to naught. Can ye live without sin?

Wood. Sir, now I perceive he will soon lye on me behind my back, when he will not stick to lye before my face. He saith I denied original sin: and it was he himself, as I will let you be judge in the matter. For as he went about to prove that man hath free will, he said we were set as free by the death of christ,1 as Adam was before his fall: which words prove plainly that we have no original sin: And I took him withal, & said: had Adam original sin before his fall? and then he could not tell what to say but cavilled with words, and said he meant not so: and therefore I marvel he is not ashamed to make such lies to my face, These words made them both astonied.
Wood. Sir, now I perceiue he will soone lye on me behinde my backe, when hee will not sticke to lye before my face. He sayth I denied originall sinne: and it was he hymselfe, as I will let you be iudge in the matter. For as hee went about to proue that man hath free will, he sayd wee were set as free by the death of christ,1 as Adam was before his fall: which wordes proue playnely that we haue no original sin: And I tooke him withall, & sayd: had Adam originall sinne before hys fall? and then hee coulde not tell what to say but cauilled with wordes, and sayd he meant not so: and therefore I maruell he is not ashamed to make such lies to my face, These wordes made them both astonyed.
