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 original_a cause_n of_o our_o own_o particular_a offence_n by_o be_v discharge_v from_o the_o punishment_n that_o adam_n sin_n bring_v upon_o mankind_n we_o upon_o our_o embrace_v the_o law_n of_o grace_n be_v accept_v by_o god_n to_o a_o liberty_n of_o work_v out_o our_o own_o salvation_n notwithstanding_o our_o own_o sin_n the_o many_o offence_n that_o the_o apostle_n here_o speak_v of_o be_v 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 again_o after_o death_n for_o ever_o for_o since_o it_o be_v the_o take_v off_o from_o we_o the_o curse_n that_o be_v come_v upon_o our_o nature_n for_o the_o public_a transgression_n of_o our_o first_o parent_n it_o take_v away_o that_o which_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o we_o die_v and_o which_o if_o it_o be_v not_o take_v away_o will_v for_o ever_o hold_v we_o in_o a_o state_n of_o death_n the_o reason_n why_o we_o die_v be_v because_o god_n have_v doom_v we_o to_o it_o and_o that_o which_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o we_o die_v will_v be_v a_o reason_n too_o why_o we_o shall_v never_o live_v again_o if_o god_n in_o mercy_n have_v not_o pity_v our_o condition_n and_o absolve_v we_o from_o the_o gild_n for_o which_o we_o be_v condemn_v to_o die_v for_o as_o it_o be_v upon_o the_o account_n of_o god_n wrath_n that_o we_o die_v if_o we_o have_v for_o ever_o lie_v under_o that_o wrath_n we_o must_v for_o ever_o have_v continue_v in_o a_o state_n of_o death_n i.e._n according_a to_o the_o sentence_n god_n have_v pass_v upon_o we_o we_o have_v forfeit_v the_o immortality_n of_o that_o life_n that_o consist_v in_o the_o vital_a union_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o body_n so_o that_o the_o import_n of_o the_o sentence_n of_o death_n we_o fall_v under_o be_v nothing_o less_o than_o a_o eternal_a separation_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o body_n a_o doom_n that_o adjudge_v the_o body_n to_o dust_n for_o ever_o and_o the_o soul_n to_o live_v without_o its_o body_n under_o the_o dominion_n of_o that_o evil_a spirit_n that_o seduce_v we_o and_o the_o dreadful_a mark_n of_o the_o divine_a displeasure_n for_o ever_o and_o as_o this_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o that_o judgement_n to_o condemnation_n that_o be_v come_v upon_o all_o man_n so_o the_o meaning_n of_o that_o free_a gift_n that_o be_v come_v upon_o all_o man_n to_o justification_n of_o life_n be_v the_o hope_n of_o rise_v again_o to_o that_o immortality_n we_o lose_v for_o by_o justify_v we_o god_n acquit_v we_o from_o the_o punishment_n he_o have_v condemn_v we_o to_o and_o by_o withdraw_v that_o wrath_n from_o we_o which_o sentence_v we_o to_o a_o eternal_a dissolution_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o body_n he_o put_v we_o into_o a_o hopeful_a condition_n of_o live_v again_o for_o ever_o as_o when_o he_o condemn_v we_o his_o justice_n lay_v we_o under_o a_o obligation_n of_o satisfy_v his_o wrath_n by_o a_o perpetual_a separation_n of_o our_o soul_n from_o our_o body_n so_o when_o he_o justify_v we_o his_o mercy_n reinstates_a we_o in_o his_o favour_n and_o by_o discharge_v we_o from_o the_o curse_n we_o be_v fall_v under_o give_v we_o a_o assurance_n that_o death_n shall_v not_o be_v eternal_a but_o that_o there_o will_v come_v a_o time_n when_o our_o body_n shall_v come_v out_o of_o their_o grave_n and_o our_o soul_n and_o body_n shall_v happy_o by_o unite_a again_o so_o that_o 3._o justification_n be_v a_o act_n of_o mere_a mercy_n and_o goodness_n it_o be_v mere_a grace_n and_o favour_n that_o

life_n and_o death_n do_v by_o reverse_v the_o sentence_n save_v he_o from_o the_o punishment_n whereas_o a_o law_n that_o allow_v

for_o the_o life_n to_o come_v a_o life_n that_o nothing_o can_v destroy_v but_o our_o own_o folly_n and_o negligence_n do_v we_o judge_v he_o a_o improvident_a man_n who_o take_v no_o thought_n at_o all_o for_o to_o morrow_n but_o expect_v that_o providence_n without_o his_o own_o industry_n and_o forecast_n shall_v supply_v his_o necessity_n and_o do_v we_o make_v no_o reflection_n upon_o our_o

for_o it_o immortality_n be_v it_o be_v true_a the_o gift_n of_o god_n and_o all_o that_o at_o last_o he_o bestow_v it_o upon_o must_v acknowledge_v that_o it_o be_v owe_v to_o his_o goodness_n and_o

follow_v we_o and_o a_o more_o dreadful_a condemnation_n than_o that_o which_o in_o adam_n we_o fall_v under_o will_v come_v upon_o we_o part_n ii_o ii_o i_o come_v now_o in_o the_o second_o place_n to_o consider_v what_o certainty_n we_o have_v of_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o doctrine_n one_o will_v think_v that_o no_o doctrine_n shall_v meet_v with_o a_o more_o easy_a reception_n than_o this_o of_o the_o resurrection_n and_o that_o the_o love_n of_o life_n shall_v so_o strong_o incline_v we_o to_o the_o belief_n of_o it_o as_o not_o to_o suffer_v we_o to_o expect_v so_o full_a a_o proof_n and_o plain_a a_o evidence_n as_o we_o do_v for_o matter_n that_o we_o be_v not_o so_o much_o interest_v in_o but_o yet_o as_o grateful_a a_o thing_n as_o it_o be_v to_o live_v and_o as_o willing_a as_o we_o be_v to_o have_v those_o thing_n to_o be_v true_a which_o be_v for_o our_o good_a we_o mighty_o boggle_v at_o the_o difficulty_n that_o be_v in_o a_o resurrection_n and_o will_v hardly_o allow_v it_o possible_a that_o god_n shall_v raise_v the_o dead_a it_o appear_v very_o unaccountable_a to_o we_o that_o a_o body_n that_o have_v undergo_v so_o many_o thousand_o change_n shall_v at_o the_o last_o arise_v the_o same_o it_o be_v and_o that_o every_o atom_n that_o belong_v to_o it_o shall_v after_o they_o have_v be_v carry_v to_o the_o further_a part_n of_o the_o world_n perhaps_o meet_v together_o and_o make_v up_o the_o same_o body_n this_o be_v a_o objection_n with_o which_o the_o incredulous_a believe_v this_o doctrine_n be_v sufficient_o puzzle_v and_o that_o no_o wit_n of_o man_n can_v make_v it_o appear_v so_o much_o as_o possible_a that_o such_o a_o thing_n can_v be_v viz._n that_o the_o same_o body_n that_o die_v shall_v rise_v again_o when_o perhaps_o the_o dust_n of_o which_o that_o body_n be_v make_v have_v belong_v to_o a_o thousand_o body_n but_o though_o this_o be_v a_o difficulty_n to_o we_o do_v our_o reason_n tell_v we_o that_o it_o be_v so_o too_o to_o a_o almighty_a and_o alwise_a god_n though_o we_o can_v give_v no_o account_n where_o or_o how_o the_o dust_n of_o every_o body_n shall_v be_v find_v yet_o we_o may_v conceive_v that_o every_o dust_n be_v somewhere_o and_o that_o that_o which_o be_v to_o be_v find_v somewhere_o be_v not_o impossible_a to_o be_v find_v by_o a_o alwise_a god_n who_o eye_n go_v through_o the_o world_n this_o alone_a be_v sufficient_a to_o prove_v it_o possible_a without_o have_v a_o recourse_n to_o any_o parallel_n instance_n in_o nature_n and_o for_o my_o part_n i_o must_v profess_v that_o i_o do_v understand_v how_o any_o thing_n of_o this_o nature_n can_v so_o much_o as_o make_v it_o appear_v to_o be_v possible_a we_o have_v be_v tell_v that_o the_o succession_n of_o the_o summer_n to_o the_o winter_n and_o the_o spring_a of_o the_o day_n after_o a_o dark_a night_n and_o the_o like_a do_v bear_v some_o kind_n of_o resemblance_n to_o a_o resurrection_n but_o how_o do_v it_o appear_v that_o it_o be_v possible_a a_o dead_a body_n shall_v rise_v and_o live_v again_o because_o we_o see_v there_o be_v a_o succession_n of_o day_n and_o night_n and_o that_o after_o a_o cold_a winter_n we_o have_v a_o warm_a spring_n that_o fetch_v plant_n and_o flower_n out_o of_o the_o earth_n for_o these_o thing_n have_v those_o certain_a cause_n in_o nature_n which_o do_v it_o at_o all_o belong_v to_o a_o resurrection_n this_o will_v be_v the_o work_n of_o god_n almighty_a power_n and_o that_o he_o will_v make_v use_n of_o his_o power_n to_o this_o purpose_n be_v no_o way_n to_o be_v know_v but_o by_o revelation_n no_o conclusion_n can_v be_v make_v that_o because_o god_n in_o the_o first_o creation_n of_o all_o thing_n do_v make_v the_o vicissitude_n of_o day_n and_o night_n and_o so_o frame_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o great_a luminary_n of_o the_o world_n that_o we_o shall_v have_v winter_n and_o summer_n and_o that_o plant_n and_o flower_n shall_v seem_v to_o wither_v and_o die_v at_o the_o approach_n of_o winter_n and_o to_o revive_v again_o when_o the_o spring_n return_v that_o therefore_o it_o be_v possible_a the_o dead_a body_n of_o man_n shall_v return_v to_o life_n again_o for_o how_o can_v we_o possible_o conclude_v that_o a_o body_n that_o die_v and_o see_v corruption_n may_v rise_v again_o because_o we_o see_v flower_n and_o plant_n that_o do_v not_o die_v in_o winter_n to_o put_v forth_o and_o flourish_v in_o summer_n these_o thing_n have_v their_o own_o natural_a cause_n but_o to_o know_v the_o possibility_n of_o a_o resurrection_n we_o must_v have_v a_o recourse_n to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n because_o this_o be_v a_o matter_n that_o depend_v upon_o his_o pleasure_n for_o if_o he_o will_v do_v it_o it_o be_v enough_o to_o satisfy_v we_o that_o the_o thing_n be_v possible_a because_o it_o be_v to_o be_v the_o work_n of_o omnipotency_n and_o it_o be_v no_o more_o impossible_a for_o a_o almighty_a god_n to_o gather_v together_o the_o
