P.
After that the vnderstandyng of man thorow sin hath ben blinded by the dark∣nesses of error and ignorance, the which it hath brought to himt, he vnderstāding, can not be well reformed, if God by his heauenly light doe not dryue awaye these darknesses, and the ignorance that there is, to giue him true knowledge of God his Creator.
M.
In what sort also is the wil reformed?
P.
When God hath chan∣ged it from euill into good, and where it is rebellious to his, he maketh it lyke vn∣to the same.
M.
Wilt thou then say that a man is not fully regenerate if his will and vnderstanding be not also reformed?
P.
Hée can not be fully, if that all that which hath ben corrupted in him thorow synne, be not repaired and restored by the grace of God.
