A treatise of original sin ... proving that it is, by pregnant texts of Scripture vindicated from false glosses / by Anthony Burgess.

SECT. VI.

We must be humbled for a two-fold Original sinne, and seek from Christ a two-fold Righteousness.

SEcondly, When we say, That original sinne is to be matter of our humilia∣tion and sorrow, we must understand that two-fold Original sinne heretofore mentioned, viz. Adam's actual sin imputed to us, and that inherent or in-dwelling sin we are born in; For seeing the guilt of both doth redound upon our per∣sons, accordingly ought our humiliation and debasement to be; Yea, Piscator thinketh David confesseth both these in this verse: In the first place, In iniquity was I shapen, or born, as he interprets it, viz. in Adam's iniquity; And in the second place, in (or with, for so some render it) sinne did my mother conceive me, which is to be understood of that imbred pollution; howsoever it be, here it is plain, Rom. 5. that the Apostle debaseth and humbleth us under this two-fold consideration, first, That we all sinned in him, there is the imputed sinne:

And secondly, That by his disobedience we are made sinners, there is our birth-sin: So that those who would hunger and thirst after Christ, finding a need of him, must seek for a two-fold benefit by Christ, answering this two-fold evil; First, the grace of Justification, to take away the guilt of all sinne, and then of San∣ctification, in some measure, to overcome the power of it, that as we have by the first Adam imputed and inherent sinne, so by the second Adam imputed and in∣herent righteousness.
