Article X—Of Free-Will.
The condition of Man
after the fall of Adam is such, that he cannot turn and prepare himself by his
own natural strength and good works, to faith, and calling upon God: wherefore
we have no power to do good works pleasant and acceptable to God, without the
grace of God by Christ preventing us, that we may have a good will, and working
with us, when we have that good will.
Bishop Nicholas Ridley: “We can do nothing
but commit sin, and are not able to make amends for the least sin that we
commit.” – Ser. St. John’s day.
