He that id ail rahed, m:ijl haw' hisfear, that is, his carnal] affeaions, wafhed. -Here S obferue two things. One , that defilements of finne remaine in them that are wafhed. The fecond, that they are after the firfi wafhiág, to be donc awayby Chrift,andnct by theatts ofour pennance. Thegrounds ofPopifh doctrine in this point,are two.The to firfi is this. They make threedegrees of Concupifcence. The firfi is, the prone&Te in the flefh to rebel} againft the lawof the minde,or the prone& to euili. The fecond , flandsin the firfi motions to finne, which goe before confent ofwill. The third, flands in as of lull' ioyri.ed with confent of will.
