Therfore most wicked was the opinion of those men which said That Christ had a body without a soule as Eunomius the heretique did That Christ had a soule without sense and reason as Apollinaris did That Christ tooke not flesh of the Virgine Marie as did the Valentinians Arians doe the Anabaptists Fam. of Loue.

Adamites that contend howe they are in so good à state as Adam was afore his fal therefore without Orig. sinne 4.
