The Fall of Man
We believe 1that man was created in innocence under the law of his maker, but 2by voluntary transgression fell from his sinless and happy state, 3in consequence of which, all mankind are now sinners, not only by constraint, but of choice; and 4therefore, under just condemnation without defense or excuse.
