Article XIX: _Of the Cause of Sin._
The Nineteenth Article the adversaries receive, in which we confess
that, although God only and alone has framed all nature, and
preserves all things which exist, yet [He is not the cause of sin,
but] the cause of sin is the will in the devil and men turning itself
away from God, according to the saying of Christ concerning the devil,
John 8, 44: When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own.
