the_o course_n of_o natural_a generation_n as_o it_o be_v since_o the_o fall_n manhath_fw-mi lose_v the_o image_n of_o god_n in_o dominion_n and_o lordship_n over_o the_o creature_n the_o earth_n be_v

therefore_o it_o be_v observable_a that_o the_o apostle_n do_v apply_v the_o passage_n of_o the_o psalmist_n more_o immediate_o to_o christ_n thou_o make_v he_o a_o little_a low_o than_o the_o angel_n thou_o crown_v he_o with_o glory_n and_o honour_n and_o do_v set_v he_o over_o the_o work_n of_o thy_o hand_n thou_o have_v put_v all_o thing_n in_o subjection_n under_o his_o foot_n heb._n 2.7_o 8_o

and_o therefore_o though_o all_o be_v fall_v in_o adam_n and_o have_v lose_v this_o privilege_n in_o their_o natural_a birth_n yet_o it_o be_v repair_v and_o renew_v by_o christ_n a_o four_o place_n

own_o personal_a and_o individual_a act_n these_o be_v their_o word_n he_o ascribe_v it_o not_o to_o their_o first_o father_n alone_o but_o to_o the_o individual_n of_o their_o posterity_n likewise_o say_v but_o they_o have_v seek_v cut_v many_o invention_n page_n 68_o neither_o do_v we_o affirm_v that_o the_o blame_n be_v only_o to_o be_v lay_v on_o adam_n for_o other_o also_o bear_v in_o

the_o fish_n of_o the_o sea_n so_o in_o the_o present_a case_n it_o may_v be_v say_v of_o adam_n primary_o that_o god_n make_v man_n upright_o but_o he_o and_o all_o mankind_n in_o he_o have_v seek_v

many_o more_o text_n may_v be_v allege_v to_o prove_v the_o privilege_n of_o that_o church_n in_o her_o first_o institution_n but_o how_o do_v this_o prove_v the_o purity_n of_o the_o natural_a

with_o all_o man_n as_o with_o that_o people_n to_o this_o we_o answer_v though_o all_o be_v bear_v in_o original_a sin_n and_o in_o the_o corruption_n of_o nature_n yet_o they_o be_v not_o leave_v

70._o neither_o do_v this_o any_o whit_n promote_v their_o cause_n for_o if_o we_o do_v read_v the_o story_n of_o the_o judge_n and_o of_o the_o king_n all_o along_o for_o the_o space_n of_o nine_o hundred_o year_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o the_o church_n and_o state_n of_o israel_n be_v liable_a to_o a_o total_a &_o final_a destruction_n for_o theird_v jolatry_n &_o other_o great_a sin_n in_o this_o respect_n therefore_o the_o prophet_n say_v thy_o destruction_n be_v of_o thyself_o o_o israel_n and_o when_o they_o be_v at_o the_o brink_n of_o destruction_n many_o time_n and_o under_o the_o

their_o own_o sin_n many_o time_n they_o be_v at_o the_o brink_n of_o ruin_n but_o the_o lord_n of_o his_o great_a mercy_n do_v deliver_v they_o we_o may_v apply_v the_o case_n more_o general_o though_o adam_n do_v fall_v and_o all_o mankind_n by_o his_o personal_a disobedience_n the_o destruction_n be_v of_o themselves_o yet_o in_o and_o through_o christ_n it_o may_v be_v say_v in_o i_o

their_o help_n be_v immediate_o from_o he_o so_o we_o by_o our_o personal_a disobedience_n do_v many_o time_n what_o lie_v in_o we_o procure_v our_o own_o destruction_n but_o our_o help_n be_v mere_o
