wel new, as old, which denie that all men sin∣ned in Adam, and are holden in the guilte of the first offence: or doe labour to prooue that this ingrafted concupiscence is onelie a di∣sease, and a punishment of sinne, but not in∣deede a sinne it selfe: or at least in the regene∣rate will not haue it to bee worthie the name of a sinne. Wee condemne also those, which haue taught that originall sinne is a substance: because this opinion, either makes god the author of sinne, or else denies that god is the maker of euerie substance, and confirmes the doctrine of the Manichęs, concerning the two beginninges, the chiefest good, and the chie∣fest ill, of which all things should haue their o∣riginall, namely good things of the good, and ill things of the ill. Moreouer we condemne the Stoicks, and such like, which teach that all sinnes are equall, & that one offence is more grieuous then another: lastlie those, vvhich will affirme, that there maye some man bee found in the worlde, which is quite voide of all sinne.
