Chapter 3: Of the Fall of Man

That man was created in a state of holiness, under the law of his Maker;^a but by voluntary transgression fell from that holy and happy state;^b in consequence of which all mankind are now sinners,^c not by constraint but choice;^d being by nature utterly void of that holiness required by the law of God, wholly given to the gratification of the world, of Satan, and of their own sinful passions, and therefore under just condemnation to eternal ruin,^e without defence, or excuse.^f
