1. Original Sin, is the fault and corruption of the Nature of every Man,a that naturally descendeth from Adam by natural Generation; by means of which, Man hath not only lost that Original Righteousness, that God created him in, but is naturally inclined to all manner of evil, being conceived in Sin, and brought forth in Iniquity;b and (as St. Paul saith) The flesh lusteth against the spirit.c And therefore every Man justly deserveth God’s Wrath and Damnation.d And this Concupiscence, or indwelling Lust, remaineth even in the Regenerate, that they cannot love, nor obey God perfectly in this Life, according to the tenour of the First Covenant.e
