The Si nfi>slneFe of Sinne. tion of originall righteoufneffe is from God immediat- ly, who pulled away Adam's righteoufneffe from him ; Therefore it is no fin. For the mote diflincf underftanding the whole truth, and anfwering thefe fuppofed tirong reafons , give me leave to premife thefe ob'ervations by way of Hypo thefis. Firf},there are Two things in originali fin, The pri- vation of righteoufner and the corruption of nature; forfince original] fin is the root ofacïuall , and in ac -uall Pinnes there are both theomilfion of the good which wecught to exercife,and pofitive contumacies againff the Law of God, therefore a vis formatrix, fomething anf erabic to both thcfe mutt needs be found in originali fin. This po- fitive or habitual] corruption (for in the other all agree . that it is originall fin) is that which the a Scripture cals fiefh,and rnemberr,and /aw,and lufpr, and body; and Saint b Auffin, vitioufne fJe, inobedience, or inordinatene (re, and a j morbid eïiion : Confonant whereunto is the ` Article of our Church affirming that man by originall fin is far gone from righteoufnes,which isthe privation;fecondly, that thereby he is of his-own nature enclined unto evill, which is the pravity or corruption: and this is the doc`trin of d many learned Papifls. Second ly,the Law being e perfea and fpirituall, fear - cheth the moil intimate corners of the foule, and redu- ceth under a law the very roots and principles of all hu- mane operations : And therefore in as much as f well- being is the ground of well- working, and that the Tree muff be good before the fruit, therefore wee conclude' 205 loho .F..
