The 3. Article.
The originall roote of sinne, although no actuall sinne do fol∣lowe, stoppeth the soule departing out of the body, from entrance into heauen.
The Answere.
As touching this matter, I neuer defined any thing he∣therto, but largely & probably I haue disputed hereof, nei∣ther yet to this day am I fully certain what is done wt such a ••oule. But our papists more blind then bussardes, when they are nothing able to perceiue what cause thys Article hath worthely to be condēned, yet dare they take vpon thē to pronounce that which the whole vniuersal church is ig∣norant of. I yet notwtstanding contemning this folish and fond condemnation aforsaid, doe holde this article proba∣bly to be true. For seing this original roote which I speake of, is truly sin, as I haue proued. Rom. 7. & Gal. 5. and se∣ing that sin letteth a man from entring into heauen, as it is written: No polluted thing shal enter: I suppose therefore that originall sinne wythholdeth a man from entring into heauen. Nether do I any thing at al esteme the fanta∣stical dreames of them, whereby they extenuating original sinne, doe call it only the paine of sinne, and imperfections, plainly against the manifest scriptures, whiche call it sin and teach the same to be cured by grace, which is the me¦dicine of true, and not of fained sinne.
