Tim. 2 1● which we must understand of the manner and order of being deceived 23 Though we should grant that Adam was not deceived by another yet he was deceived by himself 24 It is an idle question to ask whether of the two sinned more grievously Adam or Eve They sinned both unlike indeed for Sex but alike for Pride Aug. 11. de Gen. ad Lit. cap. 35. 25 The opening of their eyes which followed immediately upon their fall was nothing else but the sense of their sinne and the sting of a terrified conscience 26 They saw that they were naked that is bestripped of the robe of integritie and innocencie with which they were invested at their first creation They knew before their fall that they were naked but their nakednesse was such as was neither shamefull not disgracefull 27 They felt after their fall that their flesh was incited to lust and that the law of their members was shamefully repugnant to the Law of their mind 28 What great darknesse seised upon their understanding presently after their fall it is apparent from hence in that they thought with fig-leaves to hide themselves from his sight whose eyes are much clearer then the sunne 29 Fain would they have been concealed from him from whom nothing can be concealed and hide their flesh from his sight who is the beholder of the heart August 11. de Gen. ad Lit. cap. 34. 30 With their blindnesse of mind there was also joyned the trembling of heart For they were affrighted with the shaking of a leaf who before were delighted with the presence and conference of God 31 They are called before Gods Tribunall or Judgement-seat and before him their cause is examined and so punishment follows close upon their sinne 32 This sinne of our first parents corrupted and putrified the humane nature which was all in them and no part in any other Anselm conc virg cap. 2. 33 Adam was and in him were we all Adam was undone and in him are we all undone Ambros in cap. 15. Luc. 34 If the parents lands be confiscate their children lose their inheritance 35 From a corrupted root spring forth evil fruits from an impure fountain flow forth filthy waters and of parents which are leprous children also are begotten which are leprous 36 Even so of our first parents being destitute of originall righteousnesse and infected with the pollution of sin such children are begotten as they themselves that is destitute of righteousnesse and infected with sinne 37 For Adam begat a Sonne not after the Image of God but in his own likenesse that is corrupted with sinne 38 The Personall sinne of Adam corrupted his Nature and the corruption of Nature is by carnall generation propagated unto the person of his off-spring 39 Adam sinned not as a private man but as the lump masse and head of all mankind 40 As his Nature so likewise the corruption of his Nature is propagated unto his posteritie As his sinne so also the guilt which is a consequent of his sinne 41 And this is that which we call Originall sinne which whosoever they be that deny or extenuate they detract exceedingly from the grace of God 42 They which plead so much for Nature are enemies unto Grace 43 Concerning this Originall sinn● not onely the most clear oracles of the Holy Ghost bear witnesse but also all Actuall sins and the grievous weigh● and burden of divers calamities an● death it self and likewise regeneration which is necessarie for all men toward the attainment of eternall life 44 Therefore vain and frivolous i● that which is said by Pelagius That f●● came into the world by imitation no● by propagation 45 For death which is the wage● of sinne reigned even over them tha● had not sinned after the similitude of Adams transgression Rom. 5.14 46 And we are by nature the children of wrath and not by imitation 〈◊〉 the Apostle teacheth Ephes 2.3 47 This sinne is called Original● not from the originall of the universal● nature or the humane nature but from the originall of every person descended from Adam since his fall 48 Moreover it is called Originall in reference to Actuall sinnes whereof it is the common head and fountain 49 As for the quidditie of the thing it is not onely the privation of originall righteousnesse but it is also the position of a vitious qualitie and guilt which is a consequent or follower of them both 50 Hence it is that from our parents we are damned
