Annotation CLXXXI

”Of whose fullness we all have received.” — John 1:16

Whether works [done] apart from grace are sins.

John Ferus, in the commentaries on John, explaining this, Domingo de Soto, in the Annotations published against the same [Ferus], reprehends — because he broke out into these words: “Cursed are not only the [things] which we do, but also the [things] which are done upon us: cursed is the thought, the reason, the mouth, the hands, the feet of our heart; cursed are all [things] that befall us, whether joyful or sad,” etc. See above, Annotation 40.
