Article XIX: Of the Cause of Sin

Of the Cause of Sin they teach that, although God does create and

preserve nature, yet the cause of sin is the will of the wicked, that

is, of the devil and ungodly men; which will, unaided of God, turns

itself from God, as Christ says John 8, 44: When he speaketh a lie, he

speaketh of his own.
