to_o this_o day_n §_o 8._o god_n do_v not_o impute_v adam_n this_o sin_n to_o we_o because_o he_o will_v do_v it_o without_o any_o real_a participation_n of_o we_o no_o nor_o beyond_o our_o true_a natural_a participation_n but_o according_a to_o it_o otherwise_o god_n shall_v have_v make_v we_o sinner_n mere_o because_o he_o ●ould_v do_v so_o and_o not_o adam_n §_o 9_o we_o receive_v our_o original_a gild_n and_o pravity_n immediate_o from_o our_o next_o parent_n and_o but_o remote_o from_o adam_n it_o can_v never_o have_v come_v to_o we_o but_o through_o they_o from_o who_o we_o receive_v our_o nature_n from_o they_o we_o receive_v the_o guilt_n and_o pravity_n of_o our_o nature_n §_o 10._o therefore_o thus_o far_o at_o least_o our_o next_o parent_n communicate_v gild_n and_o pravity_n to_o we_o and_o not_o adam_n only_o in_o which_o we_o see_v that_o god_n imputation_n go_v along_o with_o real_a natural_a participation_n §_o 11._o it_o seem_v to_o i_o a_o strange_a oversight_n in_o too_o many_o divine_n who_o deny_v or_o observe_v not_o our_o gild_n of_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o our_o parent_n it_o sin_n while_o we_o be_v in_o their_o loin_n as_o well_o as_o of_o

about_o it_o §_o 12._o one_a if_o i_o have_v a_o guilty_a and_o depray_v soul_n from_o my_o parent_n it_o be_v because_o i_o be_v once_o in_o they_o virtual_o or_o seminal_o as_o true_o and_o

as_o well_o as_o another_o §_o 13._o it_o will_v be_v say_v because_o god_n so_o covenant_v with_o adam_n that_o he_o shall_v stand_v or_o fall_v for_o himself_o and_o his_o posterity_n i_o answer_v that_o there_o be_v any_o such_o covenant_n that_o if_o he_o stand_v his_o posterity_n shall_v all_o stand_v or_o be_v confirm_v and_o save_v be_v more_o than_o ever_o i_o find_v in_o scripture_n or_o

of_o his_o posterity_n i_o doubt_v not_o but_o as_o i_o say_v not_o without_o and_o beyond_o their_o natural_a interest_n in_o he_o and_o derivation_n from_o he_o as_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o and_o we_o be_v as_o much_o natural_o in_o our_o next_o parent_n and_o the_o covenant_n of_o innocency_n and_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n do_v not_o so_o far_o differ_v as_o to_o exempt_v we_o from_o the_o gild_n of_o our_o next_o parent_n sin_n for_o the_o difference_n lie_v not_o in_o this_o that_o the_o first_o only_o make_v death_n the_o due_a reward_n of_o all_o sin_n nor_o that_o the_o first_o do_v interest_n child_n in_o the_o gild_n of_o their_o parent_n sin_n but_o in_o this_o that_o the_o first_o make_v we_o guilty_a without_o a_o remedy_n but_o the_o second_o give_v we_o a_o remedy_n present_o for_o pardon_n and_o recovery_n and_o so_o our_o gild_n be_v not_o so_o full_a because_o it_o be_v but_o a_o half_a obligation_n have_v the_o pardon_v annex_v the_o first_o law_n say_v if_o thou_o sin_v thou_o shall_v be_v filius_fw-la mortis_fw-la and_o so_o shall_v those_o that_o be_v propagate_v of_o thou_o the_o second_o covenant_n say_v for_o thy_o original_a and_o

towards_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n than_o on_o they_o at_o the_o beginning_n because_o all_o our_o ancestor_n gild_n will_v be_v we_o but_o i_o answer_v 1._o if_o it_o be_v so_o it_o will_v be_v
