to_o good_a or_o evil_n so_o far_o be_v it_o a_o own-working_a of_o man_n and_o because_o the_o evil_a proper_o consist_v in_o the_o direction_n of_o the_o work_n or_o action_n and_o not_o in_o the_o work_n or_o action_n itself_o it_o do_v not_o at_o all_o follow_v that_o sin_n must_v have_v its_o original_a from_o god_n because_o god_n be_v the_o original_a of_o all_o the_o work_n of_o man_n for_o that_o the_o direction_n of_o the_o work_n depend_v upon_o the_o freewill_n of_o man_n but_o not_o the_o work_n itself_o so_o that_o it_o neither_o follow_v that_o man_n must_v needs_o have_v such_o a_o own-working_a as_o take_v its_o original_a from_o himself_o and_o not_o from_o god_n nor_o on_o the_o contrary_a that_o god_n because_o he_o be_v the_o original_a of_o all_o work_n must_v needs_o also_o be_v the_o cause_n and_o author_n of_o sin_n because_o work_v consider_v in_o itself_o be_v good_a but_o man_n have_v a_o freewill_n direct_v it_o to_o evil_a and_o so_o as_o to_o that_o direction_n it_o be_v in_o that_o respect_n say_v to_o be_v evil_a and_o a_o own-working_a or_o act_n of_o man_n and_o so_o in_o this_o objection_n the_o work_n and_o the_o direction_n of_o the_o work_a be_v confound_v together_o which_o yet_o as_o have_v be_v say_v be_v distinct_a beside_o when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o work_n of_o sin_n be_v a_o own-work_n of_o man_n here_o again_o the_o sin_n and_o the_o work_a be_v confound_v take_v the_o work_n and_o the_o sin_n to_o be_v the_o same_o thing_n because_o they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o distinguish_v the_o sin_n from_o the_o work_n but_o to_o understand_v this_o distinct_o we_o must_v examine_v what_o sin_n proper_o be_v and_o wherein_o it_o do_v consist_v sin_n then_o consist_v proper_o herein_o that_o man_n direct_v the_o work_a which_o he_o have_v to_o something_o else_o than_o that_o to_o which_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v use_v so_o that_o the_o sin_n lie_v not_o in_o the_o work_n in_o the_o act_n action_n work_n or_o deed_n itself_o but_o in_o the_o direction_n that_o man_n have_v over_o the_o work_a as_o for_o example_n a_o carpenter_n be_v about_o to_o use_v a_o axe_n to_o cleave_v a_o piece_n of_o wood_n so_o to_o do_v be_v good_a and_o well_o because_o it_o tend_v to_o the_o good_a of_o man_n but_o if_o he_o use_v the_o axe_n to_o kill_v a_o man_n that_o be_v evil_a now_o that_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o use_n of_o the_o axe_n be_v as_o well_o a_o work_n in_o the_o one_o as_o in_o the_o other_o case_n and_o as_o to_o these_o two_o working_n consider_v in_o themselves_o the_o one_o be_v no_o more_o evil_a than_o the_o other_o because_o they_o be_v so_o far_o of_o one_o and_o the_o same_o nature_n but_o if_o we_o consider_v the_o direction_n of_o those_o two_o working_n we_o shall_v find_v they_o to_o differ_v very_o much_o from_o each_o other_o to_o wit_n that_o the_o one_o be_v profitable_a and_o the_o other_o mischievous_a whence_o then_o we_o may_v clear_o see_v that_o sin_n be_v no_o work_n but_o a_o wrong_a direction_n of_o the_o work_n and_o that_o sin_n lie_v in_o that_o wrong_a direction_n we_o shall_v very_o plain_o observe_v from_o the_o name_n that_o sin_n bear_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n as_o in_o hebrew_n it_o be_v call_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d which_o be_v a_o depart_n from_o the_o true_a way_n or_o evil_a direction_n as_o appear_v from_o prov._n 19.2_o he_o that_o haste_v with_o his_o foot_n sin_v that_o be_v he_o that_o direct_v his_o foot_n wrong_v sin_v so_o also_o in_o greek_a 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d signify_v a_o departure_n from_o the_o right_a way_n which_o consist_v in_o the_o wrong_a direction_n that_o man_n observe_v §_o 35._o see_v then_o that_o man_n have_v a_o ownworking-power_n or_o facut_o to_o direct_v his_o do_n according_a to_o his_o own_o good_a like_n it_o be_v most_o necessary_a that_o the_o most_o perfect_a be_v shall_v reward_v a_o man_n according_a to_o the_o work_n which_o he_o have_v do_v for_o if_o a_o man_n do_v not_o receive_v reward_n according_a to_o his_o work_n what_o advantage_n or_o profit_n will_v a_o man_n have_v of_o his_o do_n very_o none_n at_o all_o and_o so_o it_o will_v be_v all_o one_o what_o he_o do_v which_o yet_o will_v be_v most_o contrary_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n for_o nothing_o be_v more_o natural_a to_o he_o than_o to_o expect_v a_o reward_n according_a to_o his_o deed_n and_o for_o this_o cause_n it_o be_v that_o he_o be_v present_o conscious_a to_o himself_o of_o the_o good_a or_o evil_a that_o he_o do_v which_o consciousness_n will_v be_v in_o vain_a if_o there_o be_v no_o reward_n for_o he_o to_o be_v expect_v it_o will_v in_o like_a manner_n be_v most_o contrary_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o divine_a be_v not_o to_o reward_v man_n according_a to_o his_o work_n because_o man_n can_v then_o not_o do_v amiss_o in_o any_o thing_n he_o shall_v do_v whether_o he_o do_v thing_n contrary_a to_o god_n or_o agreeable_a to_o god_n perfection_n because_o where_o there_o be_v no_o reward_n there_o be_v no_o misdeed_n or_o transgression_n for_o these_o be_v thing_n that_o do_v necessary_o infer_v each_o other_o and_o where_o there_o be_v no_o transgression_n there_o can_v be_v no_o law_n or_o obligation_n to_o do_v the_o contrary_a and_o consequent_o what_o ever_o a_o man_n do_v will_v be_v good_a whether_o contrary_a to_o or_o agreeable_a with_o god_n perfection_n because_o he_o will_v then_o have_v no_o law_n either_o for_o the_o do_v or_o forbear_v of_o it_o now_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o it_o be_v natural_a to_o a_o reasonable_a worldly_a prince_n to_o punish_v his_o subject_n according_a to_o their_o demerit_n when_o they_o transgress_v against_o he_o and_o on_o the_o contrary_a to_o reward_v they_o that_o do_v well_o how_o much_o more_o than_o must_v this_o be_v natural_a to_o the_o most_o perfect_a be_v to_o punish_v those_o that_o transgress_v against_o he_o and_o on_o the_o contrary_a to_o reward_v they_o that_o do_v well_o yea_o if_o god_n do_v not_o punish_v they_o that_o transgress_v against_o he_o he_o shall_v never_o obtain_v his_o end_n in_o make_v they_o that_o be_v that_o they_o shall_v work_v out_o the_o good_a unto_o which_o they_o be_v create_v but_o they_o will_v more_v and_o more_o deviate_v from_o the_o good_a unto_o which_o good_a they_o must_v be_v bring_v back_o by_o mean_n of_o punishment_n for_o otherwise_o god_n can_v be_v glorify_v by_o they_o and_o consequent_o because_o god_n will_v be_v glorify_v by_o man_n he_o must_v bring_v he_o back_o again_o when_o he_o be_v become_v evil_a into_o that_o state_n in_o which_o he_o can_v glorify_v god_n now_o this_o amendment_n can_v be_v effect_v but_o by_o mean_n of_o punishment_n and_o death_n by_o which_o the_o creature_n do_v come_v into_o a_o better_a condition_n as_o be_v prove_v in_o the_o observation_n of_o bar._n van_n he●mont_n upon_o man_n etc._n etc._n §_o 32._o yea_o it_o will_v be_v confusion_n in_o god_n to_o esteem_v two_o thing_n so_o direct_o contrary_a to_o each_o other_o as_o alike_o good_a and_o worthy_a and_o to_o reward_v the_o one_o just_a as_o the_o other_o which_o confusion_n can_v have_v no_o place_n in_o god_n because_o god_n be_v a_o god_n of_o order_n according_a to_o §_o 30._o wherefore_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o god_n be_v not_o only_o good_a but_o also_o just_a that_o be_v that_o he_o reward_v every_o one_o according_a to_o his_o work_n §_o 36._o now_o for_o as_o much_o as_o god_n justice_n include_v the_o reward_v of_o every_o one_o according_a to_o his_o work_n it_o follow_v that_o god_n do_v reward_n or_o punish_v all_o they_o which_o have_v do_v the_o same_o thing_n after_o the_o same_o manner_n for_o justice_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o reward_n or_o punishment_n proportion_v to_o the_o work_n therefore_o not_o the_o person_n but_o the_o deed_n be_v consider_v and_o because_o the_o deed_n be_v still_o the_o same_o and_o can_v be_v say_v to_o be_v better_a or_o worse_o in_o itself_o whoever_o it_o be_v that_o do_v it_o hence_o follow_v necessary_o that_o god_n can_v reward_v or_o punish_v one_o man_n more_o than_o another_o when_o they_o have_v do_v one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n because_o it_o will_v be_v partial_a and_o consequent_o a_o imperfection_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o §_o 11._o as_o for_o example_n if_o a_o judge_n have_v two_o criminal_n before_o he_o that_o have_v commit_v the_o same_o crime_n shall_v punish_v one_o with_o death_n and_o clear_v the_o other_o that_o will_v be_v no_o justice_n but_o the_o high_a injustice_n unequal_a and_o unreasonable_a because_o justice_n require_v that_o the_o same_o thing_n or_o thing_n of_o

by_o such_o mean_n as_o the_o life_n can_v receive_v or_o as_o can_v be_v communicate_v unto_o it_o because_o the_o life_n be_v the_o former_a of_o our_o body_n as_o i_o have_v prove_v in_o the_o consideration_n of_o b._n van_n helmont_n concern_v man_n in_o §_o 34.35_o 36_o 37_o 38._o now_o to_o apply_v this_o to_o the_o case_n in_o hand_n i_o say_v then_o that_o if_o christ_n have_v not_o take_v upon_o he_o that_o particular_a humanity_n or_o the_o nature_n of_o that_o man_n from_o which_o all_o man_n be_v descend_v he_o can_v not_o have_v restore_v unto_o all_o man_n the_o image_n of_o god_n again_o but_o only_o unto_o that_o particular_a manhood_n alone_o unto_o which_o he_o be_v unite_v and_o yet_o that_o all_o man_n must_v recover_v the_o image_n of_o god_n again_o we_o shall_v show_v hereafter_o just_o as_o a_o branch_n which_o be_v ingraft_v upon_o another_o tree_n be_v thereby_o indeed_o amend_v but_o not_o the_o whole_a tree_n from_o whence_o it_o be_v cut_v off_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n contrary_n to_o nature_n that_o all_o the_o part_n of_o any_o thing_n shall_v be_v better_v any_o where_o save_v in_o their_o original_a or_o source_n yea_o this_o be_v contrary_n to_o every_o even_o the_o very_a least_n thing_n in_o nature_n for_o as_o much_o then_o as_o this_o be_v a_o universal_a truth_n in_o nature_n therefore_o it_o must_v also_o needs_o be_v a_o truth_n in_o the_o better_n of_o mankind_n because_o mankind_n stand_v unite_v and_o subject_v to_o the_o same_o natural_a order_n as_o all_o other_o thing_n and_o without_o which_o order_n man_n can_v produce_v any_o thing_n therefore_o that_o christ_n may_v reunite_v sinner_n to_o himself_o he_o be_v to_o take_v upon_o he_o that_o individual_a humanity_n or_o manhood_n of_o which_o all_o man_n be_v descend_v and_o if_o we_o diligent_o examine_v the_o argumentation_n which_o the_o apostle_n hold_v rom._n 5._o we_o shall_v find_v that_o the_o apostle_n signify_v that_o christ_n do_v take_v upon_o he_o such_o a_o manhood_n or_o humane_a nature_n as_o by_o which_o all_o man_n can_v be_v save_v such_o as_o be_v that_o of_o adam_n by_o who_o all_o man_n become_v sinner_n for_o the_o apostle_n show_v not_o only_a verse_n 10._o that_o be_v reconcile_v we_o be_v save_v by_o the_o life_n of_o christ._n but_o also_o verse_n 11._o that_o we_o joy_n in_o god_n to_o wit_n that_o we_o be_v assure_v that_o god_n be_v our_o father_n who_o will_v communicate_v unto_o we_o of_o his_o glory_n and_o the_o cause_n of_o this_o our_o joy_v be_v that_o we_o have_v receive_v the_o atonement_n by_o christ_n but_o some_o will_v perhaps_o ask_v here_o how_o or_o on_o what_o wise_a can_v christ_n reconcile_v we_o this_o question_n the_o apostle_n answer_v in_o v._o 12._o saying_n wherefore_o that_o be_v on_o this_o wise_a as_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 in_o who_o all_o have_v sin_v that_o be_v to_o say_v just_a as_o by_o one_o man_n sin_n come_v into_o the_o world_n so_o on_o the_o very_a same_o manner_n be_v the_o atonement_n make_v by_o one_o man_n to_o wit_n by_o jesus_n christ_n and_o that_o as_o by_o sin_n death_n so_o by_o the_o atonement_n life_n be_v receive_v and_o as_o death_n be_v so_o pass_v upon_o all_o man_n so_o be_v the_o righteousness_n of_o jesus_n come_v upon_o all_o man_n unto_o justification_n of_o life_n and_o as_o death_n be_v pass_v upon_o all_o man_n because_o they_o all_o sin_v in_o adam_n for_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d can_v here_o signify_v for_o that_o as_o in_o our_o english_a but_o in_o who_o as_o in_o the_o state_n dutch_a bible_n nor_o can_v it_o have_v any_o relation_n to_o any_o other_o but_o to_o that_o one_o man_n adam_n especial_o if_o you_o add_v unto_o it_o v._o 18.19_o so_o there_o be_v the_o very_a same_o reason_n of_o the_o atonement_n of_o christ_n for_o christ_n have_v make_v the_o atonement_n for_o all_o man_n because_o they_o be_v all_o justify_v in_o christ_n now_o this_o be_v plain_a see_v the_o apostle_n draw_v here_o a_o parallel_n betwixt_o adam_n &_o christ_n that_o that_o parallel_n must_v hold_v so_o far_o as_o he_o make_v it_o to_o go_v let_v we_o then_o see_v how_o far_o this_o parallel_n which_o he_o make_v betwixt_o christ_n and_o adam_n v._n 12_o must_v go_v it_o be_v certain_a according_a to_o this_o say_n of_o the_o apostle_n that_o sin_n enter_v into_o the_o world_n by_o adam_n and_o death_n by_o sin_n and_o so_o death_n pass_v upon_o all_o man_n because_o they_o all_o sin_v in_o adam_n that_o the_o true_a reason_n here_o render_v why_o all_o man_n be_v sinner_n be_v because_o they_o all_o sin_v in_o adam_n now_o if_o they_o do_v all_o sin_n in_o adam_n they_o must_v all_o have_v be_v in_o adam_n and_o must_v all_o have_v depend_v upon_o he_o as_o upon_o their_o head_n and_o beginning_n or_o else_o they_o can_v not_o all_o have_v sin_v in_o adam_n just_o thus_o must_v this_o parallel_n hold_v also_o in_o christ_n righteousness_n be_v obtain_v through_o christ_n and_o this_o righteousness_n come_v upon_o all_o because_o they_o be_v justify_v in_o christ_n now_o this_o must_v be_v as_o true_a in_o christ_n as_o it_o be_v in_o adam_n to_o wit_n that_o see_v all_o man_n depend_v upon_o and_o be_v hide_v in_o adam_n and_o therefore_o do_v sin_n with_o he_o so_o also_o must_v all_o man_n be_v dependent_a in_o christ_n as_o on_o their_o head_n that_o be_v they_o must_v depend_v on_o his_o humane_a nature_n or_o manhood_n as_o well_o as_o on_o that_o of_o adam_n if_o they_o be_v to_o be_v all_o justify_v in_o he_o for_o see_v as_o §_o 76._o nothing_o can_v be_v unite_v to_o another_o except_o the_o unitor_n and_o the_o thing_n unite_v do_v meet_v in_o one_o and_o see_v man_n can_v be_v restore_v to_o his_o former_a state_n except_o the_o image_n of_o god_n take_v manhood_n upon_o he_o according_a to_o §_o 77._o it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o if_o the_o image_n of_o god_n to_o wit_n christ_n take_v upon_o he_o such_o a_o manhood_n as_o whereby_o all_o man_n be_v justify_v that_o that_o manhood_n must_v be_v that_o of_o the_o first_o man_n of_o who_o all_o man_n be_v descend_v and_o have_v receive_v their_o life_n because_o that_o otherwise_o all_o man_n can_v not_o be_v partaker_n of_o righteousness_n by_o the_o manhood_n of_o christ_n and_o for_o as_o much_o as_o all_o man_n descend_v of_o adam_n and_o so_o do_v depend_v upon_o he_o as_o upon_o their_o beginning_n from_o who_o they_o be_v bear_v so_o christ_n can_v not_o justify_v all_o man_n in_o he_o except_o he_o take_v upon_o he_o adam_n mandhood_n of_o which_o all_o man_n be_v dependent_a and_o for_o further_a confirmation_n of_o what_o we_o say_v from_o that_o which_o the_o apostle_n say_v to_o wit_n that_o christ_n must_v needs_o have_v take_v upon_o he_o the_o manhood_n of_o adam_n in_o the_o first_o place_n we_o must_v consider_v that_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o 14._o v._o say_v that_o adam_n be_v a_o figure_n or_o type_n of_o christ_n and_o consequent_o christ_n must_v be_v a_o man_n or_o must_v take_v upon_o he_o a_o manhood_n as_o the_o apostle_n affirm_v v._o 15._o where_o he_o call_v jesus_n christ_n a_o man._n 2d_o as_o death_n reign_v over_o all_o man_n by_o one_o to_o wit_n by_o adam_n so_o life_n reign_v over_o all_o man_n by_o one_o to_o wit_n by_o jesus_n christ_n v._o 17._o therefore_o the_o antitype_n must_v also_o agree_v in_o this_o respect_n according_a to_o the_o say_n of_o the_o apostle_n that_o be_v christ_n must_v be_v the_o head_n of_o all_o man_n as_o well_o as_o adam_n be_v and_o that_o the_o apostle_n prove_v very_o strenuous_o v._o 18.19_o because_o that_o as_o by_o the_o one_o transgression_n of_o adam_n all_o man_n be_v make_v sinner_n so_o also_o by_o the_o one_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n all_o man_n receive_v life_n if_o then_o all_o man_n do_v receive_v life_n by_o the_o one_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n than_o christ_n must_v be_v the_o head_n of_o all_o man_n as_o well_o as_o adam_n be_v and_o all_o man_n must_v descend_v from_o he_o as_o well_o as_o from_o adam_n because_o else_o christ_n righteousness_n can_v not_o come_v upon_o all_o man_n which_o yet_o the_o apostle_n do_v most_o express_o affirm_v v._o 18._o whence_o then_o do_v undoubted_o follow_v that_o see_v adam_n be_v the_o head_n of_o all_o mankind_n and_o see_v christ_n have_v do_v the_o same_o thing_n that_o adam_n do_v to_o wit_n in_o the_o antithesis_fw-la that_o the_o man_n jesus_n christ_n must_v needs_o also_o have_v be_v the_o head_n of_o all_o mankind_n and_o for_o as_o much_o as_o none_o but_o adam_n
