To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
patch them all to prevent their lapse, they were all certainly saved. We hope by " some relics " you mean that which is truly and properly sin. For our parts we believe according to the ninth article, that original sin standeth in the cor- ruption of the nature of every man, whereby man is far gone from original righteousness, and inclined to evil; and that this infection of nature doth remain in the regenerate. And though there is no condemnation for them that believe and are baptized, yet con...cupiscence and lust hath of itself the nature of sin. You say, the church acknowledgeth such desires, &c. Devices and desires are actual sins, and not original, which consisteth in privation and corrupt inclination. The next words "there is no health in us, " it seems the translators that put it into the liturgy misunderstood; but however you seem here plainly by your misinterpretation to misunderstand it. Nulla salus in nobis is spoken actively and not possessively or passively ; the plain sense is, that there is no help, deliverance, and salvation in ourselves; we cannot help ourselves out of this misery, but must have a better Saviour; as Christ is oft called our salvation, so we are denied to be our own : so that yet here is no confession at all of original sin, but of the effects.
