The Greek and Romish churches
The same testimony is given by all other churches. Not only by the Greek and Romish church, but by every reformed church in Europe, of whatever name. Indeed some of these seem to carry the matter too far. They describe the corruption of heart in a believer so as scarcely to allow that he has dominion over it. They say, rather, that he is in bondage to it. By this they leave hardly any distinction between a believer and an unbeliever.

4. The same testimony is given by all other churches: not only by the Greek and Romish church, but by every reformed church in Europe, of whatever denomination. Indeed some of these seem to carry the thing too far: so describing the corruption of heart in a believer, as scarce to allow that he has dominion over it, but, rather is in bondage thereto. And by this means they leave hardly any distinction, between a believer and an unbeliever.
