Originall sinne is not the Imitation of Adam his disobedi∣ence: For the Scripture speaketh of no such thing; neither doth Gods people so thinke, and some Churches, by their extant Confessions, with vs denie the same: as the Church in France a 1.1, and the Lowe countries b 1.2: but it is, partly the Imputation of Adam his disobedience vnto vs c 1.3, and partly the fault, and cor∣ruption of mans nature d 1.4, as the Churches also acknowledge e 1.5.
Aduersaries vnto this truth, are,
The Pelagians a 1.6, and Familie of Loue b 1.7, who say that Origi∣nall sinne commeth not by propagation, but by Imitation,
Such as ascribe Originall sinne in no sort vnto man, but ei∣ther vnto God, as did the Hermogenians c 1.8, or vnto the deuil, as did the Valentinians d 1.9.
The Manichies, who preached that this sinne is another, and a contrary substance within vs, and proceeded no•• from our corrupted naturee 1.10.
