some_o have_v do_v even_o unto_o original_a sin_n yet_o neither_o can_v the_o justice_n of_o god_n be_v any_o whit_n impeach_v thereby_o for_o though_o we_o eat_v not_o the_o sour_a grape_n neither_o

yet_o we_o contract_v the_o sourness_n thereof_o and_o the_o effect_n of_o the_o sin_n yea_o the_o sin_n itself_o in_o our_o soul_n for_o though_o the_o action_n be_v only_o in_o our_o head_n yet_o

which_o all_o the_o difficulty_n concern_v this_o and_o the_o like_a point_n be_v answer_v neither_o can_v it_o be_v infer_v hence_o that_o god_n do_v punish_v the_o just_a for_o the_o unjust_a or_o revenge_v the_o father_n wickedness_n in_o the_o son_n which_o nevertheless_o be_v no_o injustice_n see_v the_o son_n be_v in_o some_o sort_n deem_v as_o part_n of_o the_o father_n and_o consequent_o may_v just_o be_v punish_v for_o their_o father_n offence_n but_o rather_o that_o every_o man_n be_v punish_v for_o his_o own_o original_a sin_n which_o though_o it_o be_v contract_v from_o adam_n yet_o it_o be_v inherent_a in_o every_o man_n own_o nature_n again_o see_v adam_n of_o his_o own_o nature_n be_v create_v mortal_a and_o by_o grace_n only_o be_v to_o be_v preserve_v immortal_a there_o be_v no_o injustice_n in_o god_n towards_o adam_n posterity_n in_o that_o they_o be_v deprive_v of_o original_a justice_n but_o this_o proceed_v from_o adam_n demerit_n for_o himself_o and_o his_o posterity_n especial_o see_v that_o the_o covenant_n be_v so_o conclude_v between_o god_n and_o adam_n that_o qua_fw-la die_fw-la comederet_fw-la moriretur_fw-la that_o his_o eat_n shall_v be_v

be_v only_o from_o god_n and_o the_o preservation_n from_o sin_n from_o god_n grace_n only_o hence_o we_o may_v understand_v how_o there_o be_v no_o injustice_n or_o unrighteousness_n in_o god_n that_o although_o adam_n be_v create_v immortal_a yet_o we_o shall_v be_v bear_v of_o adam_n mortal_a and_o subject_a to_o death_n see_v he_o be_v just_o deprive_v of_o immortality_n by_o his_o sin_n
