therefore_o rather_o to_o be_v prove_v from_o natural_a corruption_n than_o natural_a corruption_n from_o it_o neither_o can_v it_o be_v deny_v even_o from_o the_o commandment_n 28.19_o commandment_n

that_o body_n of_o sin_n which_o baptism_n be_v intend_v for_o the_o destruction_n of_o but_o so_o all_o adult_n person_n can_v be_v suppose_v to_o do_v if_o that_o body_n of_o sin_n be_v no_o other_o

the_o apostle_n speak_v can_v we_o give_v a_o account_n of_o so_o holy_a and_o just_a a_o law_n as_o that_o of_o moses_n be_v stir_v 7.9_o stir_v rom._n 7.9_o concupiscence_n in_o those_o that_o be_v

and_o therefore_o also_o before_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n in_o they_o to_o stir_v they_o up_o to_o such_o a_o concupiscence_n so_o nothing_o can_v hinder_v that_o law_n when_o due_o propose_v to_o they_o from_o prevent_v all_o such_o concupiscence_n as_o it_o be_v the_o design_n of_o the_o lawgiver_n to_o forbid_v because_o as_o the_o person_n we_o speak_v of_o must_v be_v suppose_v to_o be_v without_o any_o contrariety_n in_o their_o nature_n to_o the_o matter_n of_o that_o law_n which_o be_v propose_v so_o they_o must_v also_o be_v suppose_v to_o be_v in_o that_o state_n wherein_o god_n have_v set_v they_o and_o because_o god_n can_v be_v think_v to_o place_n man_n in_o any_o other_o estate_n than_o that_o of_o uprightness_n in_o such_o a_o state_n as_o will_v make_v they_o willing_a to_o listen_v to_o the_o divine_a law_n and_o receive_v their_o direction_n from_o they_o by_o which_o mean_v the_o divine_a law_n shall_v rather_o keep_v man_n concupiscence_n from_o come_v to_o

by_o s._n paul_n can_v be_v evil_a habit_n and_o consequent_o nothing_o more_o leave_v to_o we_o to_o demonstrate_v than_o that_o it_o be_v derive_v to_o we_o from_o our_o birth_n or_o rather_o from_o
