also_o arise_v from_o the_o sense_n of_o his_o guilt_n he_o be_v guilty_a of_o sin_n and_o by_o sin_n he_o have_v bring_v this_o sorrow_n upon_o himself_o and_o therefore_o who_o know_v whether_o

here_o say_v 24.16_o there_o seem_v to_o be_v no_o need_n of_o such_o a_o course_n for_o god_n have_v say_v plain_o that_o the_o child_n shall_v not_o die_v for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o parent_n and_o

not_o die_v for_o the_o parent_n sin_n yet_o we_o must_v understand_v it_o aright_o for_o what_o do_v he_o mean_v by_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o parent_n and_o what_o do_v he_o mean_v by_o death_n by_o

by_o death_n he_o mean_v as_o the_o word_n signify_v the_o destruction_n of_o nature_n so_o death_n shall_v not_o befall_v the_o child_n for_o that_o sin_n that_o himself_o be_v not_o guilty_a of_o

answer_v answ_n for_o their_o own_o sin_n they_o die_v for_o the_o soul_n that_o sin_v it_o shall_v die_v and_o all_o child_n have_v sin_v they_o bring_v sin_n into_o the_o world_n and_o sin_n bring_v death_n as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v therefore_o death_n reign_v over_o all_o even_o over_o those_o that_o have_v not_o sin_v according_a to_o the_o similitude_n of_o adam_n transgression_n that_o be_v that_o have_v not_o sin_v actual_o as_o adam_n have_v do_v yet_o nevertheless_o they_o die_v because_o they_o have_v sin_n upon_o they_o they_o have_v the_o corruption_n of_o nature_n in_o sin_n they_o be_v bear_v and_o in_o iniquity_n their_o mother_n conceive_v they_o and_o the_o wage_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n therefore_o they_o die_v for_o their_o own_o sin_n but_o what_o if_o temporal_a judgement_n and_o affliction_n befall_v they_o quest_n be_v this_o for_o their_o own_o sin_n or_o for_o the_o sin_n of_o their_o parent_n i_o answer_v for_o both_o answ_n both_o for_o their_o own_o and_o for_o the_o sin_n of_o their_o parent_n for_o as_o death_n so_o all_o the_o misery_n of_o this_o life_n be_v fruit_n of_o original_a sin_n which_o be_v a_o inheritance_n in_o the_o person_n of_o every_o child_n by_o nature_n as_o soon_o as_o it_o be_v bear_v but_o yet_o if_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o parent_n be_v add_v to_o it_o that_o may_v bring_v temporal_a judgement_n there_o be_v many_o

second_o commandment_n and_o this_o you_o shall_v see_v either_o in_o godly_a child_n of_o wicked_a parent_n or_o in_o ungodly_a child_n of_o godly_a parent_n suppose_v a_o man_n leave_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o wealth_n to_o his_o child_n and_o have_v one_o that_o fear_v god_n among_o they_o it_o may_v please_v god_n to_o lay_v some_o loss_n or_o cross_n upon_o he_o to_o the_o undo_n of_o he_o he_o may_v utter_o be_v impoverish_v and_o beggar_a and_o deprive_v of_o all_o that_o mean_n that_o his_o father_n leave_v he_o by_o unrighteousness_n he_o get_v a_o heir_n and_o in_o his_o hand_n be_v nothing_o say_v solomon_n that_o be_v god_n deprive_v he_o of_o all_o that_o estate_n his_o father_n leave_v he_o by_o unrighteousness_n now_o i_o say_v here_o be_v a_o judgement_n upon_o the_o father_n and_o yet_o a_o mercy_n upon_o the_o child_n a_o judgement_n upon_o the_o father_n that_o all_o that_o he_o have_v labour_v for_o that_o which_o he_o lose_v his_o soul_n for_o shall_v be_v vain_a shall_v come_v to_o nothing_o and_o not_o benefit_v his_o posterity_n as_o he_o think_v yet_o it_o be_v a_o mercy_n to_o the_o child_n to_o the_o child_n of_o god_n he_o by_o this_o mean_n be_v humble_v it_o draw_v he_o from_o the_o world_n nay_o when_o god_n empty_v he_o of_o these_o thing_n that_o be_v unrighteous_o get_v he_o give_v he_o it_o may_v be_v a_o estate_n another_o way_n wherein_o he_o shall_v see_v god_n his_o father_n provide_v for_o he_o without_o any_o indirect_a and_o unlawful_a course_n so_o sometime_o the_o very_a shame_n and_o reproach_n that_o fall_v upon_o wicked_a child_n here_o it_o be_v a_o judgement_n to_o the_o parent_n and_o to_o the_o child_n too_o upon_o the_o parent_n as_o far_o as_o he_o be_v guilty_a of_o the_o neglect_n of_o his_o duty_n and_o of_o evil_a example_n and_o the_o like_a so_o he_o be_v punish_v in_o the_o shame_n that_o befall_v his_o posterity_n as_o it_o be_v a_o blessing_n upon_o a_o man_n that_o he_o be_v not_o ashamed_a to_o sit_v in_o the_o gate_n as_o solomon_n speak_v no_o man_n can_v upbraid_v he_o with_o his_o child_n 31._o so_o it_o be_v a_o correction_n to_o god_n child_n even_o when_o their_o child_n prove_v ungodly_a so_o far_o as_o they_o have_v be_v negligent_a and_o careless_a of_o their_o duty_n this_o be_v the_o case_n of_o old_a eli_n a_o good_a man_n yet_o nevertheless_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n be_v go_v out_o against_o his_o house_n and_o family_n and_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o it_o because_o thou_o honour_v thy_o son_n above_o i_o they_o make_v themselves_o vile_a 3.12.13_o and_o thou_o restraine_v they_o not_o therefore_o will_v i_o bring_v a_o judgement_n upon_o thy_o house_n at_o which_o both_o the_o ear_n of_o every_o one_o that_o hear_v it_o shall_v tingle_v i_o say_v it_o may_v come_v to_o pass_v and_o that_o by_o reason_n of_o that_o natural_a affection_n that_o be_v in_o parent_n that_o that_o misery_n that_o befall_v their_o child_n may_v be_v a_o exceed_a cross_n and_o a_o affliction_n to_o they_o god_n lay_v sharp_a correction_n on_o they_o when_o he_o make_v those_o child_n which_o they_o account_v as_o comfort_n and_o the_o hope_n of_o their_o life_n to_o be_v the_o very_a cross_n and_o vexation_n of_o their_o life_n there_o be_v then_o you_o see_v such_o a_o course_n of_o god_n deal_v with_o man_n to_o visit_v the_o sin_n of_o the_o father_n upon_o the_o child_n that_o be_v if_o the_o child_n walk_v in_o their_o father_n step_n if_o the_o child_n and_o the_o father_n agree_v in_o a_o course_n of_o sin_n if_o the_o father_n by_o omission_n or_o commission_n make_v himself_o guilty_a of_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o child_n etc._n etc._n and_o so_o if_o the_o child_n either_o by_o imintation_n or_o allowance_n go_v on_o in_o

he_o be_v the_o resurrection_n now_o whereas_o there_o be_v a_o double_a death_n and_o a_o double_a life_n and_o consequent_o a_o double_a resurrection_n we_o must_v understand_v that_o christ_n be_v

both_o under_o this_o term_n i_o be_o the_o resurrection_n for_o the_o first_o of_o these_o christ_n be_v the_o author_n of_o life_n he_o have_v such_o a_o quicken_a power_n in_o he_o that_o he_o be_v

because_o that_o the_o understanding_n of_o this_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n will_v give_v light_n to_o the_o understanding_n of_o the_o other_o of_o the_o soul_n and_o here_o first_o we_o will_v show_v brief_o what_o this_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n be_v body_n and_o then_o prove_v that_o christ_n be_v the_o author_n and_o the_o fountain_n of_o it_o first_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n be_v this_o what_o when_o the_o soul_n that_o be_v actual_o separate_v from_o the_o dead_a body_n returns_z again_o to_o its_o proper_a body_n and_o be_v unite_v to_o it_o the_o

the_o point_n and_o term_n the_o state_n from_o which_o the_o resurrection_n be_v for_o as_o in_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n the_o body_n rise_v from_o the_o state_n of_o corruption_n from_o the_o bondage_n of_o the_o grave_a so_o here_o in_o this_o resurrection_n of_o the_o soul_n the_o soul_n and_o the_o whole_a man_n rise_v from_o the_o state_n of_o spiritual_a corruption_n from_o the_o bondage_n of_o sin_n the_o three_o proportion_n be_v in_o regard_n of_o the_o estate_n to_o which_o a_o man_n rise_v for_o as_o in_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n a_o man_n
