M. PARSONS his Reckoning, and charge of fraude.
CAluine graunting free will to haue beene in man before the fall, * 1.1 and lost after the first sinne of Adam, may concurre with the Ma∣nichees in this, that after the fal of Adam, as now we liue, we haue free-wil, and so doth Card. Bellarm. take him, and proue out of his works, This then is an egregious fraude, and chiefly to delude in this place his Reader with ambiguity of different times. * 1.2The Manichees taught that man after Adams fall had no free-will, as both S. Hierome and S. Augu∣stine doe testifie in the sentence of Mr. Morton here set downe (though craftily he couered their names) and Bellarmine proueth Caluine to hold the same, out of his owne wordes and workes. What answereth M. Mor∣ton? Caluine (saith he) is confessed by Bellarmine to graunt free will in man before the sall of Adam in his first creation. Yea but the question is after the fall.
