3_o est_fw-la ignorantia_fw-la inment_n &_o concupiscentia_fw-la in_o carne_fw-la it_o be_v ignorance_n in_o the_o mind_n and_o concupiscence_n in_o the_o flesh_n 4_o but_o the_o full_a be_v this_o it_o be_v a_o hereditary_a corruption_n of_o nature_n which_o bring_v forth_o in_o we_o the_o work_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o pron_v we_o to_o all_o evil_n and_o thereby_o do_v fasten_v upon_o we_o a_o guiltiness_n whereby_o we_o be_v in_o desert_n and_o danger_n of_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n and_o this_o be_v the_o sin_n which_o david_n here_o confess_v which_o begin_v with_o he_o in_o his_o very_a conception_n but_o they_o allege_v that_o the_o word_n of_o david_n may_v have_v reference_n not_o to_o himself_o but_o to_o his_o mother_n then_o we_o must_v understand_v he_o thus_o that_o david_n do_v not_o confess_v sin_n as_o a_o fault_n but_o as_o a_o punishment_n and_o so_o it_o have_v regard_n to_o curse_v i_o will_v multiply_v the_o sorrow_n of_o thy_o conception_n so_o he_o only_o mean_v his_o mother_n punishment_n for_o the_o fall_n and_o his_o weakness_n through_o the_o fall_n that_o weakness_n we_o call_v original_a sin_n but_o why_o david_n in_o his_o repentance_n shall_v repent_v his_o mother_n punishment_n we_o can_v so_o well_o discern_v for_o true_a repentance_n have_v respect_n not_o to_o the_o punishment_n deserve_v but_o to_o the_o sin_n deserve_v it_o therefore_o these_o poor_a flash_n of_o humane_a wisdom_n which_o be_v carnal_a sensual_a and_o diabolical_a can_v elude_v the_o evidence_n of_o truth_n that_o david_n bewail_v his_o sin_n do_v repair_v to_o the_o root_n of_o it_o in_o his_o conception_n confess_v the_o first_o seminary_n of_o this_o weakness_n to_o begin_v there_o but_o our_o anabaptist_n urge_v further_o that_o if_o the_o matter_n of_o which_o david_n be_v make_v be_v taint_v with_o sin_n then_o be_v also_o the_o matter_n of_o which_o christ_n be_v make_v taint_v with_o sin_n for_o he_o be_v conceive_v in_o the_o womb_n of_o a_o mother_n we_o reply_v that_o he_o be_v conceive_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o it_o be_v a_o holy_a thing_n that_o be_v bear_v in_o his_o mother_n so_o the_o angel_n say_v to_o she_o they_o reply_v that_o then_o christ_n be_v not_o true_a man_n for_o he_o be_v not_o bear_v of_o the_o substance_n of_o his_o mother_n we_o answer_v that_o christ_n be_v bear_v of_o the_o very_a substance_n of_o mary_n and_o that_o in_o his_o miraculous_a generation_n by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n the_o substance_n be_v not_o change_v but_o the_o quality_n of_o it_o for_o when_o david_n pray_v after_o for_o a_o new_a heart_n he_o do_v not_o desire_v to_o have_v the_o substance_n of_o his_o heart_n change_v but_o the_o quality_n thereof_o that_o of_o a_o sinful_a and_o unclean_a heart_n it_o may_v be_v make_v a_o pure_a and_o holy_a heart_n a_o fit_a temple_n for_o the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o dwell_v in_o thus_o i_o hope_v i_o have_v to_o any_o sober_a judgement_n clear_v both_o our_o receive_a doctrine_n of_o original_a sin_n and_o the_o interpretation_n of_o my_o text_n against_o these_o old_a and_o new_a pelagian_n and_o so_o the_o confession_n of_o david_n stand_v good_a that_o

iniquity_n do_v derive_v i_o will_v now_o fortify_v this_o doctrine_n with_o plain_a demonstration_n of_o the_o truth_n from_o the_o scripture_n 1_o wherefore_o as_o by_o one_o man_n sin_n enter_v into_o the_o 12_o world_n and_o death_n by_o sin_n and_o so_o death_n pass_v upon_o all_o man_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d in_o who_o all_o have_v sin_v nevertheless_o 14._o death_n reign_v from_o

this_o punishment_n where_o he_o will_v without_o violence_n to_o his_o law_n which_o much_o encourage_v our_o turn_n to_o god_n for_o though_o it_o come_v to_o a_o decree_n yet_o before_o the_o
