sinner_n against_o god_n as_o adam_n be_v god_n may_v just_o when_o he_o make_v he_o a_o father_n make_v he_o the_o father_n of_o a_o sinner_n as_o he_o do_v adam_n and_o so_o visit_v the_o sin_n of_o

this_o that_o forasmuch_o as_o the_o law_n have_v dominion_n over_o a_o man_n so_o long_o as_o he_o live_v therefore_o the_o law_n give_v to_o adam_n concern_v not_o infant_n because_o they_o be_v not_o then_o alive_a but_o if_o this_o be_v a_o sound_a collection_n let_v they_o tell_v i_o how_o sin_n come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o how_o god_n visit_n the_o sinner_n of_o the_o father_n upon_o the_o child_n as_o for_o the_o dominion_n which_o the_o law_n have_v over_o a_o man_n so_o long_o as_o he_o live_v it_o be_v like_o the_o dominion_n which_o a_o man_n have_v over_o his_o wife_n

one_o and_o out_o of_o this_o they_o gather_v again_o that_o the_o soul_n come_v from_o god_n must_v needs_o be_v good_a and_o therefore_o without_o sin_n until_o it_o be_v join_v with_o the_o body_n and_o then_o have_v a_o law_n give_v and_o final_o transgress_v that_o law_n out_o of_o these_o principle_n it_o seem_v to_o they_o that_o they_o may_v undeniable_o conclude_v that_o infant_n be_v without_o sin_n how_o the_o body_n and_o soul_n come_v together_o in_o infant_n i_o dare_v not_o dispute_v that_o pass_v my_o capacity_n but_o if_o this_o be_v true_a which_o they_o imagine_v that_o

that_o they_o lust_n after_o evil_n and_o transgress_v the_o law_n it_o be_v a_o sure_a truth_n that_o if_o infant_n be_v without_o sin_n they_o can_v not_o bring_v forth_o the_o fruit_n thereof_o see_v therefore_o all_o infant_n which_o live_v and_o grow_v up_o do_v bring_v forth_o the_o fruit_n of_o sin_n it_o may_v not_o with_o truth_n be_v deny_v but_o that_o infant_n have_v the_o seed_n

manifest_v the_o root_n of_o sin_n be_v in_o their_o nature_n last_o they_o gather_v that_o if_o infant_n we●e_v not_o without_o sin_n christ_n will_v not_o have_v say_v to_o his_o disciple_n that_o

and_o second_o that_o in_o this_o respect_n christ_n say_v to_o his_o disciple_n that_o except_o they_o be_v convert_v and_o become_v as_o a_o little_a child_n that_o be_v without_o sin_n and_o such_o

that_o they_o shall_v submit_v themselves_o in_o all_o thing_n unto_o god_n as_o child_n do_v to_o those_o who_o they_o stand_v in_o awe_n of_o this_o be_v that_o which_o christ_n teach_v his_o

that_o adam_n be_v a_o common_a root_n but_o not_o to_o bring_v any_o soul_n to_o die_v for_o his_o break_n of_o the_o commandment_n this_o answer_n be_v not_o to_o the_o purpose_n the_o objection_n

but_o for_o the_o sin_n wherewith_o they_o be_v pollute_v in_o he_o to_o remove_v therefore_o this_o objection_n they_o must_v deny_v that_o adam_n sin_n do_v pollute_v he_o and_o also_o asfirme_v that_o mankind_n proceed_v from_o he_o as_o sree_v and_o clean_o from_o sin_n as_o if_o he_o have_v not_o sin_v at_o all_o but_o this_o they_o can_v do_v and_o therefore_o can_v remove_v this_o

their_o answer_n therefore_o proceed_v either_o of_o ignorance_n or_o perverseness_n but_o concern_v this_o point_n they_o have_v another_o strange_a conceit_n which_o be_v that_o adam_n shall_v
