The 2. Article.

To denie that sinne remaineth in a childe after his Baptisme, is as much as to tread downe Christ & Paul together vnder fote.

The Answere.

I wold also require of them to shew the cause why this article is condemned, if they were not so blinded in theyr fantasticall respects, that they are not able to perceiue why they would haue this article condemned. And yet I cānot tell whether it be hereticall or erroneous. And no maruel, when as the condemners themselues cannot tell mee. I hold therfore this article also by the Apostle. Rom. 7. I my selfe in my minde do serue the law of God, and in my flesh the lawe of sinne. Heere the Apostle confesseth plainely of himselfe, that in his flesh he serueth sinne. And also 1. Cor. 1. Christ is made to vs of God our righteousnesse, our wise∣dome, sanctification and redemption. And how then doeth he sanctified them that be sanctified already, vnlesse it be as the Apoc. sayeth: He that is holy, let him be holy stil? To be sanctified,* 1.1 is as much as to be purged frō sinne. But what haue these our Respectiuists to do with the apostle Paule, seeing they are the whole vniuersall Church,* 1.2 by whose au∣thoritie Paule either standeth or falleth, being but a mem∣ber onely and a parte of the church.* 1.3 The Lorde rebuke thee Sathan, and these thy Sathanicall papists.
