He shall not have God to be his Father that will not have the Church to be his Mother Q. VVhat do you think of Hypocrites and wicked persons that are within the Church A. I may say of them that to God they are not of the Church and if their folly shall once be made manifest they ought not to be in the Church Yet so long as their hypocrisie and wickedness lieth hid to us and they partake with us in the outward Profession of Faith and Communion of the Church we must in the judgment of Charity take all things in the best sense and esteem them as Members of the Church and if they stand or fall let it be to their own Master Q. What is the first priviledge of the Church A. Remission of Sins Q. How many kinds of Sins are there A. Sin is 1. Original 2. Actual Q. What is Original Sin A. Original Sin is the corruption and naughtiness of Nature derived from Adam to all his Children and so by propagation brought down to us by which we come to be born in Sin drawn from our Parents that were Sinners And this naughtiness of Nature first depriveth us of Original Righteousness then it maketh us to break forth into Actual Sin causing us as Naturally prone to transgress the Law of God to become by our own Act Sinners of our selves in our own persons Q. Who was the cause of Original Sin A. Adam and Eve our first Parents Q. What was their first sin A. The pride of their hearts in desiring to be as God and the disobedience of their actions in eating the forbidden fruit contrary to Gods commandment Q. Do you mean then that Adams Actual sin was the cause of our Original sin A.

But are there any sins that are Venial A. No. None are Venial in their own nature but the very least sin in strictness of Justice is worthy of death Onely I say there are some that are lesser sins for which God of His great patience and mercy is not always chiding us as Psal 103.9 but is willing to pass them over upon our general repentance and our performance of good works of Alms Prayer Fasting and other works of Corporal and Spiritual Mercy Such are the sins of ignorance inadvertency inconsideration sudden irreption c.
