Artic. 2.
The Son, which is the Word of the Father, begotten from everlasting of the Father, the very and Eternal God, of one substance with the Father, took mans nature in the Womb of the blessed Virgin, of her substance; so that two whole and perfect Natures, that is to say, the Godhead and Manhood, were joyned together in one person never to be divided; whereof is one Christ, very God and very man, who truly suffered, was crucified, dead and buried, to reconcile his Fa∣ther to us, and to be a sacrifice not only for Original guilt, but also for actual sins of men.
Tit.
This is another Article you and I have subscribed to, and profess to own, and have promised to maintain.
Tim.
And good reason; for I see nothing in it but what is sound and Orthodox; and he deserves not the name of a Christian that says otherwise.
Tit.
I am of your mind; yet I fear you have cracked some part of it in your elaborate discourses ex tempore. To try you, I will only crave your Opinion of one little branch of it; What think you of Original Sin?
Tim.
I take it to be only a privation of Original Righteousness.
Tit.
Now I know whereabouts you are; You are one of those subtil Gentlemen, who subscribe the Articles of the Church of England, and when you have done, preach the Doctrines of the Church of Rome, and Canons of the Council of Trent. This is very pretty! a Popish Priest may do as much.
But we will debate farther on this in its proper place, under Artic. 9. which speaks as plain English in this point, as ever Article did.—Go on therefore to the next.
