as_o it_o be_v say_v 2.7_o gen._n 2.7_o he_o breathe_v in_o his_o face_n the_o spirit_n of_o life_n neither_o must_v we_o think_v that_o they_o have_v only_a imbecility_n and_o weakness_n in_o resist_a corruption_n but_o that_o they_o have_v also_o many_o other_o defect_n of_o mind_n and_o will_n they_o be_v destitute_a of_o spiritual_a light_n &_o be_v therefore_o blind_a and_o not_o incline_v to_o such_o desire_n and_o action_n as_o the_o law_n of_o god_n require_v god_n bestow_v his_o gift_n and_o grace_n upon_o adam_n on_o this_o condition_n that_o he_o will_v give_v they_o also_o to_o his_o posterity_n if_o he_o himself_o will_v by_o obedience_n keep_v they_o but_o will_v not_o give_v they_o to_o his_o seed_n if_o he_o by_o his_o unthankfulnes_n shall_v cast_v they_o away_o now_o adam_n have_v by_o disobedience_n lose_v they_o god_n in_o justice_n as_o a_o just_a punishment_n inflict_v upon_o adam_n sin_n do_v bereave_v his_o posterity_n of_o they_o now_o these_o

to_o join_v his_o pure_a creature_n to_o the_o body_n that_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v pollute_v thereby_o see_v that_o as_o he_o have_v therein_o show_v his_o justice_n in_o punish_v sin_n so_o he_o

in_o such_o manner_n that_o they_o can_v not_o possible_o fall_v away_o but_o it_o be_v not_o expedient_a that_o they_o shall_v be_v so_o make_v because_o then_o the_o obedience_n of_o man_n shall_v have_v be_v as_o it_o be_v force_v and_o therefore_o not_o so_o acceptable_a unto_o god_n so_o god_n can_v have_v make_v the_o soul_n of_o his_o posterity_n with_o such_o strength_n and_o steadfastness_n that_o they_o can_v not_o possible_o be_v pollute_v but_o it_o be_v more_o expedient_a that_o they_o shall_v be_v so_o make_v that_o it_o may_v be_v know_v both_o what_o we_o be_v by_o

that_o if_o he_o do_v loose_v they_o he_o shall_v loose_v they_o both_o from_o himself_o and_o from_o his_o posterity_n second_o that_o child_n do_v proceed_v out_o of_o the_o mass_n or_o substance_n of_o their_o parent_n and_o therefore_o must_v needs_o be_v account_v as_o a_o part_n of_o their_o parent_n according_a to_o that_o in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n 7.10_o heb._n 7.10_o the_o
