¶ It is not in our power to kepe any of the commaundemen¦tes of god which wer geuen to shewe vs our synnes, and byd thinges im¦possible for vs.

Without grace it is impossible to kepe any of the commaunde∣mentes of god, and grace is not in our power: ergo it is not in our power to kepe any of ye commaū∣dementes of god.

By the law commeth the know¦ledge of synne.

I knew not what synne ment, * 1.1 but thorow the lawe.
