to_o the_o trial_n this_o guilt_n that_o be_v in_o nature_n what_o be_v it_o be_v it_o the_o same_o thing_n that_o be_v in_o the_o person_n that_o be_v be_v it_o a_o obligation_n to_o punishment_n if_o it_o be_v not_o i_o know_v not_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o word_n and_o therefore_o i_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o it_o if_o it_o be_v then_o if_o this_o guilt_n or_o obligation_n to_o punishment_n remain_v in_o the_o nature_n after_o it_o be_v take_v from_o the_o person_n then_o if_o this_o concupiscence_n deserve_v damnation_n this_o nature_n shall_v be_v damn_v though_o the_o person_n be_v save_v let_v the_o objector_n my_o lord_n choose_v which_o they_o will_n if_o it_o do_v not_o deserve_v damnation_n why_o do_v they_o say_v it_o do_v if_o it_o do_v than_o the_o guilty_a may_v suffer_v what_o they_o deserve_v but_o the_o innocent_a or_o the_o absolve_v must_v not_o the_o person_n then_o be_v acquit_v and_o the_o nature_n not_o acquit_v the_o nature_n shall_v be_v damn_v and_o the_o person_n be_v save_v but_o if_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o guilt_n remain_v in_o the_o nature_n to_o certain_a purpose_n but_o not_o to_o all_o then_o i_o reply_v so_o it_o do_v in_o the_o person_n for_o it_o be_v in_o the_o person_n after_o baptism_n so_o as_o to_o be_v a_o perpetual_a possibility_n and_o proneness_n to_o sin_n and_o a_o principle_n of_o trouble_n and_o if_o it_o be_v no_o otherwise_o in_o the_o nature_n than_o this_o distinction_n be_v to_o no_o purpose_n if_o it_o be_v otherwise_o in_o the_o nature_n than_o it_o bring_v damnation_n to_o it_o when_o it_o bring_v none_o to_o the_o man_n and_o then_o the_o former_a argument_n must_v return_v but_o whether_o it_o prevail_v or_o no_o yet_o i_o can_v but_o note_n that_o what_o be_v here_o affirm_v be_v

not_o be_v a_o personal_a but_o a_o natural_a evil_n i_o be_o sure_a so_o the_o article_n of_o our_o church_n affirm_v it_o be_v the_o fault_n and_o corruption_n of_o our_o nature_n and_o so_o s._n

baptism_n do_v not_o take_v off_o the_o guilt_n from_o the_o nature_n than_o it_o do_v nothing_o now_o since_o your_o lordship_n be_v please_v in_o the_o behalf_n of_o the_o objector_n so_o wary_o to_o avoid_v what_o they_o think_v press_v i_o will_v take_v leave_n to_o use_v the_o advantage_n it_o minister_n for_o so_o the_o serpent_n teach_v we_o where_o to_o strike_v he_o by_o his_o so_o wary_o and_o guilty_o defend_v his_o head_n i_o therefore_o argue_v thus_o either_o baptism_n do_v not_o take_v off_o the_o guilt_n of_o original_a sin_n or_o else_o there_o may_v be_v punishment_n where_o there_o be_v no_o guilt_n or_o else_o natural_a death_n be_v not_o it_o which_o god_n threaten_v as_o the_o punishment_n of_o adam_n fact_n for_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o all_o man_n die_v as_o well_o after_o baptism_n as_o before_o and_o more_o after_o then_o before_o that_o which_o will_v be_v proper_o the_o consequent_a of_o this_o dilemma_n be_v this_o that_o when_o god_n threaten_v death_n to_o adam_n say_v on_o the_o day_n thou_o eat_v of_o the_o tree_n thou_o shall_v die_v the_o death_n he_o inflict_v and_o intend_v to_o inflict_v the_o evil_n of_o a_o troublesome_a mortal_a life_n for_o adam_n do_v not_o die_v that_o day_n but_o adam_n begin_v to_o be_v miserable_a that_o day_n to_o live_v upon_o hard_a labour_n to_o eat_v fruit_n from_o a_o accurse_a field_n till_o he_o shall_v return_v to_o the_o earth_n whence_o he_o be_v take_v gen._n 3.17_o 18_o 19_o so_o that_o death_n in_o the_o common_a sense_n of_o the_o word_n be_v to_o be_v the_o end_n of_o his_o labour_n not_o so_o much_o the_o punishment_n of_o the_o sin_n for_o it_o be_v probable_a he_o shall_v have_v go_v off_o from_o the_o scene_n of_o this_o world_n to_o a_o better_a though_o he_o have_v not_o sin_v but_o if_o he_o have_v not_o sin_v he_o shall_v not_o be_v so_o afflict_v and_o he_o shall_v not_o have_v die_v daily_o till_o he_o have_v die_v final_o that_o be_v till_o he_o have_v return_v to_o his_o dust_n whence_o he_o be_v take_v and_o whither_o he_o will_v natural_o have_v go_v and_o it_o be_v no_o new_a thing_n in_o scripture_n that_o misery_n and_o infelicity_n shall_v be_v call_v

the_o socinian_o answer_n in_o this_o argument_n who_o affirm_v that_o god_n threaten_v death_n to_o the_o sin_n of_o adam_n mean_v death_n eternal_a which_o be_v certain_o not_o true_a as_o we_o learn_v from_o the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n say_v in_o adam_n we_o all_o die_v which_o be_v not_o true_a of_o death_n eternal_a but_o it_o be_v true_a of_o the_o misery_n and_o calamity_n of_o mankind_n and_o it_o be_v true_a of_o temporal_a death_n in_o the_o sense_n now_o explicate_v and_o in_o that_o which_o be_v common_o receive_v but_o i_o add_v also_o this_o problem_n that_o which_o will_v have_v be_v have_v there_o be_v no_o sin_n and_o that_o which_o remain_v when_o the_o sin_n or_o guiltiness_n be_v go_v be_v not_o proper_o the_o punishment_n of_o the_o sin_n but_o dissolution_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o body_n shall_v have_v be_v if_o adam_n have_v not_o sin_v for_o the_o world_n will_v have_v be_v too_o little_a to_o have_v entertain_v those_o miriads_o of_o man_n which_o must_v in_o all_o reason_n have_v be_v bear_v from_o that_o blessing_n of_o increase_n and_o multiply_v which_o be_v give_v at_o the_o first_o creation_n and_o to_o have_v confine_v mankind_n to_o the_o pleasure_n of_o this_o world_n in_o case_n he_o have_v not_o fall_v will_v have_v be_v a_o punishment_n of_o his_o innocence_n but_o however_o it_o may_v have_v be_v though_o god_n have_v not_o be_v angry_a and_o shall_v still_o be_v even_o when_o the_o sin_n be_v take_v off_o the_o proper_a consequent_a of_o this_o will_v be_v that_o when_o the_o apostle_n say_v death_n come_v in_o by_o sin_n and_o that_o death_n be_v the_o wage_n of_o sin_n he_o primary_o and_o literal_o mean_v the_o solemnity_n and_o cause_n and_o infelicity_n and_o untimeliness_n of_o temporal_a death_n and_o not_o mere_o the_o dissolution_n which_o be_v direct_o no_o evil_a but_o a_o inlet_n to_o a_o better_a state_n but_o i_o infist_n not_o on_o this_o but_o offer_v it_o to_o the_o consideration_n of_o inquisitive_a and_o modest_a person_n and_o now_o that_o i_o may_v return_v thither_o from_o whence_o this_o objection_n bring_v i_o i_o consider_v that_o if_o any_o shall_v urge_v this_o argument_n to_o i_o baptism_n deliver_v from_o original_a sin_n baptism_n do_v not_o deliver_v from_o concupiscence_n therefore_o concupiscence_n be_v not_o original_a sin_n i_o do_v not_o know_v well_o what_o to_o answer_v i_o can_v possible_o say_v something_o to_o satisfy_v the_o boy_n &_o young_a man_n at_o a_o public_a disputation_n but_o not_o to_o satisfy_v myself_o when_o i_o be_o upon_o my_o knee_n and_o give_v a_o account_n to_o god_n of_o all_o my_o secret_a and_o hearty_a persuasion_n but_o i_o consider_v that_o by_o concupiscence_n must_v be_v mean_v either_o the_o first_o inclination_n to_o their_o object_n or_o the_o proper_a act_n of_o election_n which_o be_v the_o second_o act_n of_o concupiscence_n

it_o have_v be_v a_o gift_n still_o and_o of_o adam_n though_o he_o have_v persist_v in_o innocence_n it_o be_v true_a to_o say_v that_o without_o god_n grace_n that_o be_v by_o the_o mere_a force_n of_o nature_n he_o can_v never_o have_v arrive_v to_o a_o supernatural_a state_n that_o be_v to_o the_o joy_n of_o heaven_n and_o yet_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o if_o he_o have_v remain_v in_o
