if_o you_o add_v unto_o it_o v._o 18.19_o so_o there_o be_v the_o very_a same_o reason_n of_o the_o atonement_n of_o christ_n for_o christ_n have_v make_v the_o atonement_n for_o all_o man_n because_o they_o be_v all_o justify_v in_o christ_n now_o this_o be_v plain_a see_v the_o apostle_n draw_v here_o a_o parallel_n betwixt_o adam_n &_o christ_n that_o that_o parallel_n must_v hold_v so_o far_o

that_o the_o true_a reason_n here_o render_v why_o all_o man_n be_v sinner_n be_v because_o they_o all_o sin_v in_o adam_n now_o if_o they_o do_v all_o sin_n in_o adam_n they_o must_v all_o have_v

must_v be_v as_o true_a in_o christ_n as_o it_o be_v in_o adam_n to_o wit_n that_o see_v all_o man_n depend_v upon_o and_o be_v hide_v in_o adam_n and_o therefore_o do_v sin_n with_o he_o so_o also_o must_v all_o man_n be_v dependent_a in_o christ_n as_o on_o their_o head_n that_o be_v they_o must_v depend_v on_o his_o humane_a nature_n or_o manhood_n as_o well_o as_o on_o that_o of_o adam_n if_o they_o be_v to_o be_v all_o justify_v in_o he_o for_o see_v as_o §_o 76._o nothing_o can_v be_v unite_v to_o another_o except_o the_o unitor_n and_o the_o thing_n unite_v do_v meet_v in_o one_o and_o

14._o v._o say_v that_o adam_n be_v a_o figure_n or_o type_n of_o christ_n and_o consequent_o christ_n must_v be_v a_o man_n or_o must_v take_v upon_o he_o a_o manhood_n as_o the_o apostle_n affirm_v
