Etc.
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 Myles
Coverdale – “Immediately after the resurrection, he breathed upon his disciples
and giveth them the Holy Ghost; to declare that he is the same who at the
beginning created our nature and sealed it with his Spirit; and that it is even
he who now in the beginning of a new life, must by his Spirit renew and restore
our decayed nature again. ... Now cannot Christ the image of God be right
proportioned and renewed in us, but by the Holy Ghost.” – Fruitful Lessons.
