2_o cause_n for_o which_o god_n do_v just_o punish_v in_o the_o posterity_n both_o their_o own_o sin_n and_o their_o parent_n hereof_o it_o may_v be_v understand_v that_o god_n for_o two_o cause_n

be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o parent_n because_o they_o proceed_v out_o of_o their_o substance_n or_o mass_n wherefore_o it_o can_v be_v but_o guilty_a as_o well_o after_o as_o before_o the_o propagation_n from_o the_o parent_n unless_o by_o some_o singular_a benefit_n remission_n of_o that_o fault_n befall_v unto_o it_o which_o now_o before_o in_o the_o parent_n themselves_o it_o

bereave_v themselves_o of_o righteousness_n and_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n they_o can_v be_v themselves_o unclean_a bring_v forth_o clean_o but_o corrupt_a child_n and_o like_a to_o themselves_o and_o therefore_o guilty_a as_o well_o of_o their_o own_o as_o of_o their_o parent_n sin_n because_o they_o partake_v of_o it_o be_v derive_v unto_o they_o consent_v unto_o it_o either_o in_o act_n as_o

why_o after_o the_o fall_n come_v this_o general_a corruption_n there_o be_v add_v in_o the_o definition_n of_o original_a sin_n that_o this_o corruption_n of_o nature_n ensew_v upon_o the_o fall_n

the_o answer_n be_v at_o hand_n that_o faith_n shine_v on_o the_o work_n of_o the_o godly_a but_o not_o on_o the_o work_n of_o the_o wicked_a and_o therefore_o they_o please_v god_n &_o their_o

himself_o so_o also_o if_o they_o be_v say_v to_o be_v recompense_v with_o reward_n and_o therefore_o not_o to_o be_v sin_n first_o we_o answer_v that_o to_o be_v approve_v and_o reward_v in_o they_o which_o be_v good_a but_o that_o evil_a which_o concur_v be_v not_o only_o conden_v &_o punish_v but_o the_o good_a also_o which_o the_o wicked_a do_v be_v deprive_v of_o the_o honour_n &_o name_n and_o so_o of_o that_o eternal_a reward_n of_o those_o work_n which_o be_v indeed_o good_a &_o please_v god_n second_o we_o answer_v that_o these_o be_v sometime_o recompense_v with_o temporal_a reward_n but_o never_o with_o eternal_a three_o that_o they_o be_v recompense_v of_o god_n with_o these_o reward_n not_o as_o that_o he_o simple_o like_v of_o they_o or_o so_o acknowledge_v they_o for_o good_a that_o he_o do_v not_o withal_o repute_v they_o for_o evil_a but_o that_o he_o may_v invite_v by_o these_o reward_v other_o aswell_o unbeliever_n as_o believer_n to_o keep_v and_o

yea_o even_o among_o the_o wicked_a &_o hypocrite_n four_o those_o reward_n be_v rather_o a_o diminish_n and_o mitigation_n of_o their_o punishment_n than_o any_o reward_n because_o they_o make_v nought_o for_o their_o salvation_n to_o who_o they_o befall_v and_o god_n will_n according_a to_o the_o order_n of_o his_o justice_n punish_v great_a sin_n with_o great_a punishment_n and_o lesser_a with_o lesser_a both_o in_o this_o life_n and_o in_o the_o life_n to_o come_v action_n the_o moral_a action_n of_o the_o unregenerate_a be_v not_o therefore_o to_o be_v omit_v of_o we_o because_o in_o
