therefore_o as_o to_o nature_n that_o imputation_n add_v no_o new_a business_n we_o must_v here_o consider_v what_o damage_n man_n receive_v in_o this_o according_a to_o mystery_n we_o must_v first_o resolve_v that_o the_o apostle_n paul_n where_o he_o say_v in_o the_o 10_o to_o the_o roman_n that_o christ_n be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o law_n mean_v that_o christ_n be_v the_o end_n of_o all_o

the_o mystery_n for_o christ_n fulfil_v all_o mystery_n which_o he_o perfect_v and_o accomplish_v the_o end_n of_o they_o beside_o mystery_n be_v call_v truth_n because_o all_o mystery_n ordain_v by_o

all_o in_o that_o it_o beget_v truth_n salvation_n and_o immortality_n to_o man_n which_o shall_v be_v clear_v in_o its_o own_o place_n christ_n be_v the_o chief_a end_n of_o that_o mystery_n by_o which_o the_o sin_n of_o adam_n be_v impute_v to_o man_n that_o to_o they_o the_o justice_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v the_o death_n of_o christ_n may_v be_v impute_v you_o must_v also_o take_v

not_o to_o destroy_v they_o but_o as_o christ_n be_v ordain_v the_o end_n to_o the_o salvation_n of_o man_n their_o be_v medium_n appoint_v to_o bring_v they_o to_o that_o end_n for_o the_o

say_v to_o have_v produce_v light_n and_o death_n raise_v up_o life_n they_o be_v much_o deceive_v who_o think_v that_o eternal_a death_n ensue_v that_o condemnation_n of_o death_n which_o be_v decree_v upon_o the_o sin_n of_o adam_n for_o i_o think_v it_o be_v sufficient_o clear_v out_o of_o the_o apostle_n paul_n to_o the_o roman_n who_o to_o this_o purpose_n i_o cite_v in_o the_o former_a chapter_n that_o the_o condemnation_n be_v not_o eternal_a but_o bound_v with_o some_o limit_n that_o it_o be_v bear_v with_o adam_n and_o end_v with_o moses_n death_n reign_v from_o adam_n to_o

transgression_n of_o the_o law_n which_o i_o therefore_o call_v a_o legal_a sin_n legal_a sin_n live_v as_o long_o as_o the_o law_n live_v and_o when_o the_o law_n be_v extinct_a that_o be_v likewise_o extinguish_v that_o legal_a death_n reign_v as_o long_o as_o the_o law_n reign_v and_o behove_v to_o die_v also_o when_o the_o law_n die_v eternity_n also_o be_v indefinite_a legal_a death_n have_v its_o certain_a limit_n adam_n and_o moses_n beyond_o which_o it_o can_v not_o remain_v therefore_o that_o death_n can_v not_o confer_v a_o eternity_n upon_o man_n which_o itself_o have_v not_o what_o then_o shall_v we_o sin_v because_o we_o be_v not_o under_o the_o law_n and_o because_o there_o be_v now_o no_o condemnation_n remain_v by_o the_o law_n which_o may_v hinder_v
