Moreover they which object these things unto us, must diligently mark this, that by the same way we may cavil against God. For he hath set forth unto men his law which is most perfect to be kept of them. Shall we say unto him, we are weak and of a corrupt and vicious nature, neither can we perform thy commandments, as thou commandest: wherefore whether we do against that which thou hast commanded, or whether we endeavour our selves to perform that which thou hast bidden, we shall ever sin, because we shall faint, neither can we obey as we should do. Wherefore what soever we do we shall not avoid sin?
Moreouer they which obiect these thinges vnto vs, must diligently marke this, that by the same waye wee maye cauill againste God. For hee hath sette foorth vnto menne his lawe whiche is most perfecte to bee kept of them. Shall we say vnto him, we are weake and of a corrupt and vitious nature, neither can we perfourme thy commaundementes, as thou commaundest: wherefore whether we do against that which thou hast commaunded, or whether we endeuour our selues to perfourme that which thou hast bydden, wee shall euer synne, bycause we shall fainte, neither can we obey as we should doo. Wherefore what soeuer we do we shall not auoide synne?
If any man brawlinglye should speak these things against God, might not he by good right answer? They be just and right which I have set forth unto you to be observed. But in that ye are feeble and weak, it ought not to be counted a fault in me. For I have excellently holpen your weakness, which for your sakes have given my Son unto the death. If ye shall believe only in him, what so ever ye shall not accomplish in performing my precepts, it shall not be imputed to you to everlasting death.
If anye manne brawlinglye shoulde speake these thinges againste God, myghte not hee by good ryghte aunswere? They bee iust and ryght which I haue sette foorth vnto you to bee obserued. But in that ye are feable and weake, it oughte not to bee counted a fault in mee. For I haue excellentlye holpen your weakenes, whyche for your sakes haue geuen my Sonne vnto the death. If ye shall beleue onelye in hym, what so euer ye shall not accomplish in perfourming my preceptes, it shal not be imputed to you to euerlasting death.
