sin_n chap._n vi_o how_o the_o sin_n of_o adam_n be_v cause_n of_o man_n salvation_n not_o condemnation_n since_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n not_o man_n sin_n be_v impute_v to_o another_o but_o every_o own_o bear_v his_o own_o sin_n that_o question_n which_o be_v common_o dispute_v concern_v original_a sin_n be_v intricate_a dark_a and_o difficult_a upon_o presupposition_n that_o all_o man_n

some_o that_o throw_v hatred_n upon_o god_n according_a to_o the_o first_o supposition_n in_o say_v that_o his_o law_n be_v too_o rigid_a and_o cruel_a in_o that_o he_o impute_v that_o which_o be_v do_v by_o adam_n without_o the_o knowledge_n of_o man_n before_o they_o have_v a_o be_v to_o all_o mankind_n and_o in_o that_o the_o punishment_n for_o that_o sin_n be_v so_o heavy_a that_o the_o whole_a nature_n of_o man_n be_v overrun_v with_o punishment_n and_o plague_n for_o by_o no_o humane_a law_n be_v there_o ever_o any_o successor_n appoint_v of_o other_o crime_n let_v child_n say_v plato_n not_o suffer_v for_o the_o wickedness_n of_o their_o parent_n it_o seem_v a_o cruel_a and_o pernicious_a precedent_n to_o the_o senate_n of_o rome_n to_o destroy_v cassius_n child_n when_o cassius_n the_o offender_n himself_o be_v destroy_v &_o people_n who_o do_v endeavour_v to_o settle_v such_o way_n of_o punishment_n seem_v to_o do_v thing_n worthy_a the_o hatred_n of_o man_n and_o the_o anger_n of_o the_o god_n but_o this_o seem_v to_o exceed_v all_o kind_n of_o cruelty_n that_o after_o a_o miserable_a and_o torment_a life_n man_n shall_v be_v cast_v into_o a_o burn_a lake_n and_o give_v their_o enliven_a liver_n again_o to_o be_v gnaw_v by_o worm_n and_o there_o in_o weep_v and_o gnash_n of_o tooth_n to_o die_v and_o never_o die_v for_o ever_o and_o beyond_o eternity_n to_o which_o inconvenience_n that_o from_o my_o supposition_n i_o may_v brief_o and_o clear_o answer_v and_o stop_v every_o mouth_n speak_v irreverent_o of_o god_n it_o be_v before_o sufficient_o show_v that_o the_o imputation_n of_o adam_n sin_n add_v nothing_o to_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n give_v to_o corruption_n which_o be_v mere_o mystical_a and_o be_v only_o conceive_v in_o spirit_n therefore_o as_o to_o nature_n that_o imputation_n add_v no_o new_a business_n we_o must_v here_o consider_v what_o damage_n man_n receive_v in_o this_o according_a to_o mystery_n we_o must_v first_o resolve_v that_o the_o apostle_n paul_n where_o he_o say_v in_o the_o 10_o to_o the_o roman_n that_o christ_n be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o law_n mean_v that_o christ_n be_v the_o end_n of_o all_o mystery_n both_o which_o be_v command_v by_o the_o law_n and_o contain_v in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o prophet_n in_o which_o signification_n the_o law_n be_v very_o frequent_a and_o be_v take_v for_o

the_o mystery_n for_o christ_n fulfil_v all_o mystery_n which_o he_o perfect_v and_o accomplish_v the_o end_n of_o they_o beside_o mystery_n be_v call_v truth_n because_o all_o mystery_n ordain_v by_o god_n lead_v to_o truth_n nor_o be_v mystery_n a_o empty_a name_n and_o a_o bare_a title_n or_o fiction_n without_o its_o reality_n and_o species_n yea_o it_o accomplish_v the_o chief_a thing_n of_o all_o in_o that_o it_o beget_v truth_n salvation_n and_o immortality_n to_o man_n which_o shall_v be_v clear_v in_o its_o own_o place_n christ_n be_v the_o chief_a end_n of_o that_o mystery_n by_o which_o the_o sin_n of_o adam_n be_v impute_v to_o man_n that_o to_o they_o the_o justice_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v the_o death_n of_o christ_n may_v be_v impute_v you_o must_v also_o take_v

not_o to_o destroy_v they_o but_o as_o christ_n be_v ordain_v the_o end_n to_o the_o salvation_n of_o man_n their_o be_v medium_n appoint_v to_o bring_v they_o to_o that_o end_n for_o the_o

our_o destruction_n therefore_o that_o dispensation_n of_o the_o divine_a law_n be_v first_o of_o meekness_n and_o bounty_n not_o of_o wrath_n and_o cruelty_n by_o which_o man_n not_o know_v and_o

decree_v upon_o the_o sin_n of_o adam_n for_o i_o think_v it_o be_v sufficient_o clear_v out_o of_o the_o apostle_n paul_n to_o the_o roman_n who_o to_o this_o purpose_n i_o cite_v in_o the_o former_a

death_n have_v its_o certain_a limit_n adam_n and_o moses_n beyond_o which_o it_o can_v not_o remain_v therefore_o that_o death_n can_v not_o confer_v a_o eternity_n upon_o man_n which_o itself_o
