Annotatio CLXXVIII
”For behold, in iniquities [was I conceived].” — Psalm 50:7
Chrysostom is brought under suspicion by John Faber [Johann Fabri], bishop of Vienna,1 because in his exposition of Psalm 50 — which he expounded splendidly — he purposely left the present little verse untouched, lest he fall into discourse of original sin, which he himself thought to be nothing [non-existent], and in many places also demonstrated to be nothing. These things Faber [says] in the Apology of his commentaries on Paul: whose error we have confuted in [our] censures upon the fifth chapter of the epistle to the Romans. Read Annotation 236 of the following book.
