Scripture must be contemned as not sufficient enough to bring men vnto the knowledge of saluation God is made vnwise in not commaunding so necessarie workes Faith and other spiritual virtues are brought into vtter obliuion Perfection is imputed not vnto Faith but vnto workes and which is most detestable vnto the workes not commaunded but forbidden of God ordeined by men The Lawe of God is thought to be throughly satisfied and more duties performed than man needed to haue done They which broached and defende these errors VVere the Pharisies Are the Papists who besides what hath bine said do holde that such workes Do merite remission of sinnes and that For themselues For others Oftentimes do driue away Diuels Euil spirits Are tokens of the forgiuenesse of sins so wel as Baptisme yea deliuer from the wrath of God so wel as Christ. And so they prefer their owne workes before The word of God The Sacraments Faith The death of Christ.

ARTICLE Of Christ alone without sinne CHrist 1 in the truth of our nature was made like vnto vs in al things sinne only except from which he was clearely voide both in his life and spirit He came to be the Lambe without spot who by sacrifice of himselfe once made should take away the sins of the worlde and sin as S. Iohn sayth was not in him 2 But al we the rest although baptized and borne againe in Christ yet offende in many things and if we say we haue no sin we deceaue our selues and the truth is not in vs. The Propositions 1. Christ is truly and perfectly righteous 2. Al men besides Christ though regenerate be sinners 1. That Christ was pure from sin it is abundantlie to be seene 1.

ARTICLE Of sinne after Baptisme NOt euerie deadlie 1 sinne willinglie committed after baptisme is sinne against the holie Ghost and vnpardonable Wherefore the graunt of repentance is not to be denied to such as fal into sinne after Baptisme 2 After we haue receiued the holie Ghost we may depart from grace giuen and fal into sinne and by the grace of God we maie rise againe and amende our liues And therefore they are to be condemned which saie they can no more sinne as long as they liue here 3 or denie the place of forgiuenes to such as trulie repent The Propositions 1. Euerie sinne is not the sinne against the holie Ghost 2. The verie regenerate maie fal and yet rise againe 3. None are vtterlie to be cast of which vnfainedlie repent 1. Euerie sin willinglie committed after regeneration is not the sin against the holy Ghost and therefore vnpardonable as maie be seene 1.
