114 Not that His Person became sin, or His Parsopa a curse; but He took the title of those vile things, and in their stead gave us in reality glorious things. It is impossible for inherent righteousness to become sin, but it is possible for righteousness to be [called] sin in behalf of grace." From the Warda. "The author on himself."

Besides the evidence deducible from the above, the reader who has carefully perused the extracts quoted under the foregoing Articles will feel fully persuaded, that the corruption of human nature, and the universal sinfulness of all who are born of Adam, are doctrines maintained and taught in the ancient Nestorian rituals. And I doubt not that if propounded to any modern Nestorian they would meet with a cordial assent.
