that_o humane_a affliction_n and_o death_n itself_o be_v natural_a for_o they_o have_v in_o we_o principle_n of_o nature_n from_o whence_o they_o do_v flow_v but_o hereunto_o we_o answer_v that_o

therefore_o that_o the_o scripture_n teach_v that_o death_n enter_v through_o sin_n and_o that_o man_n as_o
the_o merit_n of_o the_o parent_n for_o they_o can_v not_o by_o procreation_n of_o the_o body_n pour_v grace_n into_o the_o child_n forasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n altogether_o spiritual_a nether_a have_v it_o any_o natural_a fellowship_n with_o the_o flesh_n wherefore_o forasmuch_o as_o goodness_n &_o holiness_n be_v the_o mere_a and_o pure_a gift_n of_o god_n god_n do_v in_o deed_n promise_n that_o he_o will_v do_v good_a unto_o the_o posterity_n of_o godly_a man_n even_o to_o a_o thousand_o generation_n but_o that_o be_v not_o to_o be_v understand_v as_o though_o there_o be_v

much_o more_o we_o must_v call_v to_o memory_n that_o the_o apostle_n begin_v to_o rehearse_v the_o effect_n of_o justification_n namely_o that_o by_o it_o we_o have_v peace_n with_o god_n and_o

the_o comparison_n which_o they_o bring_v make_v very_o much_o against_o themselves_o but_o say_v they_o god_n have_v create_v all_o man_n to_o his_o own_o image_n and_o therefore_o have_v appoint_v
