of_o this_o nature_n be_v the_o justification_n that_o the_o gospel_n speak_v of_o only_o with_o this_o difference_n that_o it_o do_v not_o only_o respect_v we_o as_o sinner_n such_o as_o by_o

be_v a_o remedy_n to_o the_o mischief_n that_o by_o the_o first_o transgression_n be_v come_v upon_o we_o speak_v of_o as_o a_o blessing_n we_o be_v already_o possess_v of_o but_o this_o of_o acquit_v

that_o we_o do_v commit_v the_o gospel_n do_v assure_v we_o of_o pardon_n upon_o our_o sincere_a repentance_n i.e._n that_o god_n will_v justify_v we_o but_o it_o be_v not_o upon_o account_n of_o this_o mercy_n that_o we_o be_v in_o a_o justify_v state_n but_o of_o that_o favour_n alone_o that_o have_v remit_v adam_n fault_n to_o we_o and_o assure_v we_o of_o a_o resurrection_n to_o life_n again_o but_o after_o this_o we_o must_v expect_v to_o undergo_v another_o trial_n whether_o we_o deserve_v the_o forgiveness_n that_o be_v with_o god_n i.e._n whether_o our_o repentance_n for_o our_o own_o sin_n and_o our_o endeavour_n to_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n in_o our_o gospel_n i.e._n our_o justify_v state_n have_v be_v so_o sincere_a that_o he_o will_v accept_v of_o it_o and_o this_o will_v be_v when_o the_o author_n of_o our_o religion_n shall_v come_v to_o try_v whether_o we_o deserve_v the_o life_n that_o he_o will_v raise_v we_o to_o then_o he_o will_v justify_v all_o his_o sincere_a follower_n but_o his_o justify_n at_o that_o day_n mean_v his_o accept_n and_o approve_v of_o the_o sincerity_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o repentance_n according_a to_o the_o very_a term_n of_o the_o law_n of_o mercy_n that_o he_o have_v give_v we_o to_o live_v by_o but_o then_o this_o suppose_n that_o we_o be_v in_o a_o justify_v state_n as_o we_o be_v discharge_v from_o the_o eternity_n of_o the_o punishment_n that_o adam_n transgression_n have_v expose_v we_o to_o otherwise_o we_o can_v not_o rise_v again_o nor_o will_v there_o be_v any_o need_n of_o a_o second_o judgement_n to_o be_v pass_v upon_o we_o by_o be_v thus_o justify_v our_o gracious_a redeemer_n put_v we_o into_o the_o state_n of_o probationer_n for_o immortality_n so_o that_o so_o long_o as_o we_o be_v in_o this_o world_n we_o be_v in_o our_o state_n of_o trial_n whether_o we_o will_v choose_v life_n or_o death_n not_o in_o such_o a_o justify_v state_n that_o we_o may_v assure_o say_v of_o ourselves_o that_o we_o shall_v undoubted_o be_v glorify_v for_o thus_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v justify_v till_o our_o lord_n come_v the_o second_o time_n to_o try_v what_o use_v we_o have_v make_v of_o that_o mercy_n that_o set_v life_n and_o immortality_n before_o we_o but_o for_o the_o clear_n this_o matter_n i_o shall_v observe_v 1._o that_o our_o justification_n be_v a_o deliver_v we_o from_o a_o state_n of_o condemnation_n for_o nothing_o be_v more_o plain_a in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n than_o that_o it_o do_v suppose_v a_o judgement_n to_o be_v already_o pass_v upon_o we_o and_o that_o we_o be_v in_o a_o condemn_a condition_n for_o it_o be_v that_o mercy_n whereby_o we_o be_v discharge_v from_o some_o punishment_n which_o we_o have_v deserve_v and_o be_v adjudge_v to_o it_o be_v not_o god_n declare_v our_o innocency_n or_o a_o legal_a adjudge_v we_o to_o a_o immortal_a state_n because_o the_o law_n whereby_o we_o shall_v have_v be_v thus_o justify_v be_v transgress_v and_o we_o be_v condemn_v to_o die_v for_o that_o transgression_n thus_o indeed_o adam_n will_v have_v be_v justify_v for_o if_o he_o have_v not_o sin_v he_o will_v not_o have_v deserve_v to_o die_v and_o if_o he_o have_v not_o merit_v death_n according_a to_o the_o law_n of_o entire_a nature_n by_o which_o he_o be_v to_o live_v he_o must_v have_v live_v a_o immortal_a life_n i.e._n he_o will_v have_v be_v make_v immortal_a without_o be_v justify_v from_o death_n as_o now_o we_o must_v in_o this_o case_n there_o will_v have_v be_v no_o need_n of_o mercy_n to_o assure_v immortality_n to_o he_o that_o have_v no_o crime_n for_o mercy_n to_o pardon_v nor_o no_o

not_o adam_n sin_n alone_o but_o our_o own_o too_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o we_o die_v and_o consequent_o that_o our_o justification_n be_v not_o from_o adam_n offence_n only_o but_o from_o those_o many_o that_o we_o be_v guilty_a of_o by_o one_o man_n sin_n enter_v into_o the_o world_n and_o death_n by_o sin_n and_o so_o death_n pass_v upon_o all_o man_n for_o that_o all_o have_v sin_v v._o 12._o i.e._n all_o man_n die_v as_o well_o as_o adam_n because_o all_o have_v sin_v as_o well_o as_o he_o for_o until_o the_o law_n sin_n be_v in_o the_o world_n and_o again_o death_n reign_v from_o adam_n to_o moses_n even_o over_o they_o that_o have_v not_o sin_v after_o the_o similitude_n of_o adam_n transgression_n v._o 13_o 14._o i.e._n all_o that_o live_v between_o adam_n and_o moses_n die_v though_o they_o do_v not_o transgress_v a_o positive_a law_n as_o adam_n do_v but_o only_o sin_v against_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n but_o if_o we_o look_v a_o little_a narrow_o into_o the_o apostle_n discourse_n the_o contrary_n will_v be_v evident_a for_o when_o he_o instance_v in_o a_o time_n when_o there_o be_v no_o law_n that_o condemn_v man_n to_o die_v for_o their_o own_o offence_n his_o design_n be_v to_o prove_v that_o the_o sin_n and_o judgement_n that_o pass_v upon_o adam_n do_v reach_v to_o all_o man_n for_o what_o account_n else_o shall_v we_o give_v say_v he_o of_o the_o death_n of_o those_o that_o die_v before_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n be_v give_v they_o sin_v it_o be_v true_a but_o that_o can_v not_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o they_o die_v because_o they_o be_v not_o under_o any_o law_n that_o threaten_v they_o with_o death_n if_o they_o sin_v and_o therefore_o since_o they_o die_v it_o can_v be_v by_o virtue_n of_o no_o other_o law_n but_o that_o by_o which_o adam_n be_v judge_v and_o condemn_v he_o do_v say_v indeed_o that_o death_n pass_v upon_o all_o man_n for_o that_o all_o have_v sin_v yet_o sin_n be_v not_o impute_v where_o there_o be_v no_o law_n which_o be_v the_o case_n of_o all_o that_o live_v between_o adam_n and_o moses_n the_o sum_n then_o of_o the_o apostle_n discourse_n be_v this_o that_o adam_n sin_n and_o the_o judgement_n that_o be_v pass_v upon_o he_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o all_o man_n die_v but_o we_o be_v not_o to_o think_v that_o man_n die_v only_o for_o adam_n sin_n in_o such_o a_o sense_n as_o if_o themselves_o be_v not_o sinner_n for_o though_o all_o have_v sin_v yet_o all_o die_v because_o of_o adam_n sin_n obj._n but_o if_o this_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o apostle_n how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o he_o tell_v we_o afterward_o that_o the_o free_a gift_n be_v of_o many_o offence_n unto_o justification_n ans_fw-fr to_o which_o i_o reply_v that_o though_o by_o the_o undertake_n of_o our_o gracious_a mediator_n we_o be_v justify_v from_o our_o own_o particular_a offence_n i.e._n be_v put_v into_o such_o a_o state_n that_o we_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o fear_v be_v condemn_v when_o we_o come_v to_o answer_v for_o our_o own_o action_n if_o with_o sincerity_n we_o conform_v our_o life_n according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o gospel_n though_o we_o be_v guilty_a of_o many_o error_n and_o mistake_v yet_o it_o be_v plain_a from_o what_o he_o discourse_v before_o that_o it_o be_v adam_n offence_n alone_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o we_o die_v because_o it_o be_v for_o adam_n offence_n alone_o that_o we_o be_v bear_v mortal_a and_o be_v under_o a_o sentence_n of_o condemnation_n but_o by_o be_v justify_v from_o adam_n sin_n and_o condemnation_n we_o by_o sincere_o submit_v to_o the_o law_n of_o grace_n be_v acquit_v of_o all_o those_o particular_a sin_n that_o in_o our_o natural_a state_n we_o be_v guilty_a of_o because_o adam_n sin_n be_v the_o root_n and_o

those_o that_o in_o their_o natural_a state_n man_n be_v guilty_a of_o for_o of_o these_o alone_o he_o speak_v in_o the_o forego_n verse_n when_o for_o the_o prove_v it_o be_v for_o adam_n transgression_n that_o we_o all_o die_v he_o instance_a in_o those_o that_o live_v between_o adam_n and_o moses_n who_o be_v not_o under_o the_o government_n of_o any_o other_o law_n but_o that_o of_o nature_n and_o therefore_o do_v not_o die_v for_o their_o own_o particular_a offence_n and_o of_o these_o he_o tell_v we_o the_o free_a gift_n be_v to_o justification_n as_o well_o as_o of_o adam_n sin_n because_o by_o be_v discharge_v from_o the_o punishment_n of_o adam_n transgression_n we_o shall_v not_o be_v condemn_v for_o those_o that_o no_o positive_a law_n do_v threaten_v with_o death_n but_o as_o for_o those_o sin_n that_o in_o our_o christian_n i.e._n our_o justify_v state_n we_o be_v guilty_a of_o we_o must_v be_v justify_v or_o condemn_v for_o they_o by_o the_o sentence_n of_o our_o mediator_n according_a to_o the_o very_a voice_n of_o the_o law_n that_o he_o have_v give_v we_o to_o live_v by_o 2._o then_o justification_n put_v we_o into_o a_o possibility_n of_o live_v
