Not in respect of the qualitie of the sinne, but in respect of the persons which sinne, insomuch as they eyther beleeue or not be∣leeue. For that is mortall sinne, which maketh all who beleeue not, guiltie of eternall death: And such are the sinnes of all men vn∣till they beleeue, that is, vntill by faith they receiue remission of sinnes.
But veniall sinne, is not that which doth deserue pardon, but that which freely is forgiuen & pardoned for Christs sake, to them which beleeue, & such is the sin of all who truly beleeue. For that which of it selfe, and in it owne nature is mortall, becommeth ve∣niall in the beleeuers by the grace and mercie of God, whilest it is pardoned and forgiuen them, according to that, Rom. 8.1. There is no condemnation to them which are in Christ Iesus, for, they come not into iudgement, but haue passed from death to life. Iohn. 5.24. In a word, to the elect all their sinnes, euen the greatest are veni∣all and pardonable through Christe 1.1, but to the reprobate no sin there is which is not mortallf 1.2.
