The tenth Article.

Thou false Hereticke saidst, That a man had no free-will, but is like to the Stoicks, which say, That it is not in mans will to do anything, but that all desire and concupiscence cometh of God, of whatsoever kinde it be of.

The Answer.

My Lords I said not so, truely, I say, That as many as beleeve in Christ firmely, unto them is given liberty conformable to the saying of S. Iohn, If the Sonne make you free, then shall you verily be free: Of the contrary, as many as beleeve not in Christ Jesus, they are bond-servants of sin: He that sinneth, is bound to sin.
