speak_v of_o mortality_n but_o of_o death_n itself_o but_o there_o be_v a_o wide_a difference_n between_o death_n and_o mortality_n inasmuch_o as_o a_o man_n may_v be_v mortal_a and_o yet_o never_o die_v q._n what_o therefore_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o those_o word_n that_o death_n enter_v into_o the_o world_n by_o sin_n a._n namely_o this_o that_o adam_n for_o sin_n be_v by_o the_o decree_n and_o sentence_n of_o god_n subject_v to_o eternal_a death_n and_o consequent_o all_o man_n inasmuch_o as_o they_o be_v propagate_v from_o he_o be_v liable_a to_o the_o same_o eternal_a death_n that_o the_o thing_n be_v so_o the_o comparison_n of_o christ_n with_o adam_n which_o the_o apostle_n make_v in_o the_o same_o chapter_n from_o the_o twelve_o verse_n to_o the_o end_n do_v sufficient_o

thereunto_o a._n it_o may_v be_v prove_v thus_o because_o that_o knowledge_n do_v far_o exceed_v man_n reason_n as_o the_o apostle_n express_o say_v a_o animal_n man_n receive_v not_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n 1_o cor._n 2._o 14._o meaning_n the_o thing_n whereof_o he_o have_v speak_v a_o little_a before_o p._n 9_o and_o 10._o which_o neither_o eye_n have_v see_v nor_o ear_n

which_o that_o it_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o immortality_n and_o the_o way_n and_o mean_n tend_v thereunto_o be_v evident_a from_o the_o very_a thing_n itself_o q._n but_o can_v you_o make_v this_o plain_a by_o another_o testimony_n of_o the_o scripture_n a._n yes_o by_o that_o rom._n 1._o 19_o 20._o where_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o what_o may_v be_v know_v of_o god_n be_v manifest_a in_o they_o for_o god_n have_v manifest_v it_o unto_o they_o for_o the_o invisible_a thing_n of_o he_o from_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n be_v understand_v by_o his_o work_n be_v see_v both_o his_o eternal_a power_n and_o divinity_n so_o that_o they_o be_v inexcusable_a q._n but_o how_o appear_v it_o plain_o from_o that_o testimony_n a._n because_o the_o apostle_n affirm_v those_o thing_n which_o god_n have_v by_o the_o gospel_n discover_v to_o man_n to_o be_v such_o as_o be_v invisible_a from_o the_o very_a creation_n of_o the_o world_n so_o that_o they_o can_v by_o no_o mean_n be_v trace_v out_o by_o man_n for_o the_o very_a matter_n which_o the_o apostle_n in_o this_o place_n propose_v to_o be_v handle_v intimate_v that_o those_o work_n whereby_o the_o invisible_a thing_n of_o god_n be_v know_v be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o the_o work_v do_v under_o the_o gospel_n q._n but_o that_o place_n be_v common_o interpret_v in_o another_o sense_n a._n i_o be_o not_o
