The answere.

[ 1] I say first, that to say against the flat text of scripture with∣out [ 2] scripture, is no reason at all. I say secondly, that S. Paul doth not onely call concupiscence sin, but he proueth it by ma∣ny reasons. For first, it striueth against the law of the minde. Againe, it leadeth one captiue into the law of sinne: thirdly, it doth that which is not good, but euil. I say thirdly, that Saint [ 3] Austen doth vndoubtedly iudge it to be sin; neither shal any pa∣pist in the world, euer be able to proue the contrarie, howsoeuer they bare the world in hand. I wil onely alleage a few places out of S. Austen, & make effectuall application of the same; to which when anie either Rhemist or Romist shall answere suf∣ficiently, I promise to become his bondman.
