effect_n it_o work_v in_o we_o who_o be_v the_o posterity_n of_o adam_n s._n i_o have_v hear_v that_o sin_n and_o ignorance_n and_o also_o death_n and_o infirmity_n have_v their_o origin_n from_o it_o

see_v sense_n in_o he_o be_v strong_a than_o reason_n m._n right_o for_o he_o understand_v not_o what_o be_v the_o offence_n of_o god_n as_o yet_o nay_o accor●●ng_v to_o the_o p●rverts_v ordinary_a

by_o little_a and_o little_o overcome_v till_o the_o age_n of_o thirty_o the_o philosopher_n not_o admit_v maturity_n of_o wisdom_n and_o constant_a judgement_n till_o the_o stand_a part_n of_o our_o

it_o s._n this_o be_v very_o well_o but_o you_o do_v not_o show_v that_o this_o come_v from_o original_a sin_n m._n so_o that_o it_o seem_v you_o have_v forget_v that_o by_o original_a sin_n it_o

the_o man_n because_o he_o will_v still_o become_v more_o subject_a to_o god_n and_o reason_n s._n sir_n i_o see_v now_o that_o all_o our_o sin_n come_v from_o original_a sin_n and_o indeed_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n that_o one_o sin_n shall_v proceed_v from_o a_o other_o but_o original_n i_o expect_v how_o you_o wil●_z show_v that_o ignorance_n and_o infirmity_n proceed_v from_o the_o same_o for_o if_o they_o be_v then_o to_o be_v bear_v as_o we_o be_v now_o child_n and_o grow_v to_o be_v man_n i_o think_v they_o must_v needs_o also_o be_v child_n in_o knowledge_n and_o so_o have_v ignorance_n so_o that_o this_o can_v be_v the_o offspring_n of_o original_a sin_n and_o likewise_o if_o then_o they_o have_v eat_v to_o grow_v and_o keep_v themselves_o a_o live_a as_o we_o do_v now_o they_o will_v not_o avoid_v but_o meat_n shall_v have_v their_o effect_n and_o so_o also_o breed_v disease_n when_o out_o of_o season_n m._n you_o be_v not_o well_o acquaint_v being_n with_o the_o

himself_o or_o in_o his_o teacher_n but_o adam_n be_v perfect_a in_o knowledge_n and_o can_v teach_v he_o if_o himself_o be_v not_o capable_a the_o fi●_z knowledge_n be_v above_o he_o and_o so_o not_o such_o as_o be_v fit_v or_o such_o as_o the_o want_n thereof_o induce_v ignorance_n if_o there_o be_v want_n of_o will_n it_o be_v because_o he_o love_v some_o other_o thing_n better_o and_o that_o he_o ignorance_n be_v not_o whole_o subject_a to_o reason_n which_o can_v be_v without_o original_a sin_n and_o so_o original_a sin_n be_v cause_n of_o ignorance_n now_o if_o ignorance_n be_v cause_n of_o sickness_n and_o death_n you_o have_v no_o more_o to_o reply_v and_o s._n no_o indeed_o but_o i_o hear_v learned_a man_n say_v that_o it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o power_n of_o nature_n to_o keep_v

that_o must_v needs_o grieve_v a_o man_n which_o be_v unnatural_a against_o his_o inclination_n and_o nature_n then_o if_o reason_n be_v the_o nature_n of_o man_n how_o can_v he_o see_v himself_o do_v
