Wherefore we must warily take heed lest being too much intentive to those sins which we have committed, we desperately say with Cain. Our sin is greater thē that it can be forgiven. For this were contumelious blasphemy against Christ to say, that there is some sin to be found, which cannot be overcome of him.

Peter Martyr Vermigli, Most learned and fruitful commentaries of D. Peter Martir Vermilius Florentine, professor of divinity in the school of Tigure, upon the Epistle of S. Paul to the Romans wherein are diligently [and] most profitably entreated all such matters and chief common places of religion touched in the same Epistle. With a table of all the common places and expositions upon divers places of the scriptures, and also an index to find all the principal matters contained in the same, trans.
