behold_v to_o christ_n for_o if_o he_o have_v not_o come_v they_o have_v die_v but_o a_o temporal_a death_n and_o so_o they_o do_v still_o to_o which_o i_o answer_v and_o say_v it_o be_v true_a that_o if_o christ_n have_v not_o come_v they_o have_v die_v but_o a_o temporal_a death_n for_o that_o sin_n commit_v in_o paradise_n and_o also_o that_o they_o do_v die_v a_o temporal_a death_n notwithstanding_o and_o yet_o your_o conclusion_n false_a for_o christ_n be_v very_o beneficial_a to_o they_o notwithstanding_o so_o that_o if_o i_o have_v the_o tongue_n of_o man_n and_o angel_n i_o

speak_v of_o in_o the_o scripture_n to_o be_v there_o portion_n at_o the_o other_o side_n of_o the_o grave_n i_o can_v be_v very_o large_a but_o i_o must_v speak_v now_o by_o figure_n as_o we_o say_v and_o not_o by_o word_n at_o length_n and_o leave_v you_o and_o the_o reader_n to_o enlarge_v it_o in_o your_o understanding_n and_o for_o as_o much_o as_o you_o desire_v i_o to_o inform_v you_o

the_o scripture_n and_o if_o thou_o find_v in_o this_o treatise_n any_o thing_n that_o seem_v strange_a unto_o thou_o be_v not_o over_o hasty_a to_o condemn_v it_o or_o the_o author_n but_o know_v

and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o sprinkle_v or_o scatter_v a_o little_a water_n in_o the_o face_n of_o the_o subject_a no_o but_o a_o dip_v or_o plunge_v or_o a_o thorough_a wash_n of_o the_o person_n

die_v the_o second_o death_n for_o original_a sin_n nay_o the_o second_o death_n be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o threaten_v in_o any_o one_o text_n of_o scripture_n either_o upon_o adam_n or_o any_o of_o

of_o and_o liable_a to_o the_o second_o death_n which_o i_o shall_v prove_v by_o several_a plain_n and_o evident_a reason_n draw_v from_o the_o scripture_n but_o before_o i_o speak_v unto_o it_o be_v

20.14_o for_o i_o do_v believe_v that_o the_o wage_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n but_o as_o there_o be_v a_o twofold_a covenant_n so_o there_o be_v a_o twofold_a death_n viz._n a_o first_o and_o second_o

the_o second_o death_n and_o so_o i_o come_v to_o the_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o adam_n sin_n in_o paradise_n do_v not_o make_v he_o and_z his_o guilty_a of_o and_o liable_a to_o the_o second_o

thing_n of_o that_o nature_n in_o the_o sentence_n but_o the_o first_o death_n only_o with_o sorrow_n labour_n and_o such_o like_a thing_n as_o the_o punishment_n due_a to_o that_o sin_n and_o first_o we_o may_v read_v the_o threaten_n gen._n 2.17_o in_o these_o word_n but_o of_o the_o tree_n of_o knowledge_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a thou_o shall_v not_o eat_v of_o it_o for_o in_o the_o day_n

of_o the_o soul_n for_o ever_o or_o a_o second_o death_n because_o adam_n die_v not_o in_o his_o body_n or_o the_o bodily_a death_n that_o day_n which_o he_o sin_v but_o live_v many_o day_n afterward_o answ_n in_o answer_n to_o this_o objection_n consider_v these_o two_o thing_n the_o first_o be_v that_o one_o day_n with_o the_o lord_n be_v as_o a_o thousand_o year_n and_o a_o thousand_o

32._o and_o thus_o much_o brief_o to_o the_o first_o objection_n the_o second_o be_v object_n 2._o what_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o hebrew_n word_n say_v my_o antagonist_n in_o die_v thou_o shall_v die_v answ_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v and_o say_v that_o so_o soon_o as_o adam_n have_v sin_v he_o be_v mortalize_v and_o in_o a_o die_a condition_n never_o continue_v in_o one_o stay_n but_o in_o the_o

in_o die_v thou_o shall_v die_v and_o so_o i_o pass_v to_o the_o second_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o adam_n sin_n do_v not_o make_v he_o guilty_a of_o nor_o liable_a to_o the_o second_o death_n which_o be_v reas_n 2._o because_o adam_n have_v no_o second_o life_n promise_v neither_o have_v he_o need_v of_o it_o while_o he_o stand_v in_o his_o innocency_n and_o only_o a_o second_o life_n presuppose_v a_o second_o death_n for_o a_o man_n can_v lose_v more_o than_o he_o have_v to_o loose_v which_o be_v but_o only_o one_o life_n for_o the_o other_o come_v by_o jesus_n christ_n who_o do_v by_o death_n abolish_v death_n and_o bring_v life_n and_o immortality_n to_o light_n to_o which_o add_v this_o that_o if_o christ_n have_v not_o die_v and_o also_o rise_v from_o the_o dead_a there_o have_v be_v no_o resurrection_n and_o then_o have_v no_o second_o life_n there_o have_v be_v no_o second_a death_n for_o as_o by_o man_n come_v death_n so_o by_o man_n come_v the_o resurrection_n from_o the_o dead_a so_o than_o it_o be_v god_n love_v to_o give_v man_n life_n and_o put_v he_o into_o that_o happy_a condition_n in_o paradise_n but_o it_o be_v man_n sin_n that_o bring_v death_n and_o a_o deprivation_n from_o that_o happy_a estate_n and_o condition_n it_o be_v god_n renew_v love_n and_o unsearchable_a wisdom_n and_o mercy_n to_o bring_v man_n out_o of_o that_o condition_n by_o a_o resurrection_n from_o the_o dead_a to_o a_o second_o life_n and_o happy_a estate_n but_o it_o be_v man_n unsufferable_a perpetual_a wickedness_n which_o bring_v upon_o he_o the_o second_o death_n for_o this_o be_v the_o condemnation_n that_o light_n be_v come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o man_n love_v darkness_n rather_o than_o light_v joh._n 3._o and_o thus_o we_o see_v that_o there_o be_v not_o second_o life_n in_o paradise_n to_o be_v lose_v and_o therefore_o that_o sin_n purchase_v not_o the_o second_o death_n and_o so_o i_o pass_v to_o the_o three_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o adam_n sin_n do_v not_o make_v he_o guilty_a of_o the_o second_o death_n which_o be_v reas_n 3._o three_o because_o if_o adam_n have_v be_v guilty_a of_o the_o second_o death_n and_o that_o be_v the_o

make_v guilty_a by_o that_o sin_n but_o none_o do_v die_v the_o second_o death_n for_o that_o sin_n commit_v in_o paradise_n although_o the_o first_o death_n or_o a_o change_n which_o be_v as_o

second_o death_n be_v because_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o god_n will_v by_o no_o mean_n clear_v the_o guilty_a exod._n 34.7_o but_o if_o god_n do_v send_v christ_n to_o take_v away_o the_o second_o death_n so_o that_o many_o taste_v it_o not_o and_o none_o taste_v it_o for_o that_o sin_n commit_v in_o paradise_n rom._n 5.18_o then_o god_n do_v use_v a_o mean_n to_o clear_v the_o guilty_a and_o so_o his_o word_n be_v yea_o and_o nay_o and_o not_o yea_o and_o amen_o but_o it_o be_v the_o guilt_n of_o the_o first_o death_n god_n spare_v not_o his_o own_o precious_a one_o but_o we_o must_v needs_o die_v and_o be_v as_o water_v spill_v upon_o the_o ground_n which_o can_v be_v gather_v neither_o do_v god_n respect_v the_o person_n of_o any_o man_n yet_o he_o have_v use_v a_o

so_o give_v way_n to_o mercy_n and_o thus_o i_o pass_v to_o the_o four_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o the_o sin_n commit_v in_o paradise_n make_v not_o adam_n guilty_a and_o liable_a to_o the_o second_o death_n which_o be_v reas_n 4._o four_o because_o it_o argue_v a_o change_n in_o god_n in_o what_o he_o have_v absolute_o decree_v for_o god_n do_v absolute_o decree_v that_o if_o adam_n do_v

etc._n add_v this_o also_o it_o make_v god_n to_o be_v a_o liar_n and_o the_o devil_n to_o speak_v the_o truth_n which_o be_v blasphemy_n to_o assert_v for_o as_o god_n say_v that_o if_o adam_n eat_v

the_o objection_n which_o be_v object_n 1._o fear_v not_o he_o that_o can_v kill_v the_o body_n but_o can_v kill_v the_o soul_n mat._n 10.28_o imply_v that_o there_o be_v a_o soul_n which_o can_v be_v

5._o and_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o my_o friend_n be_v not_o afraid_a of_o they_o that_o can_v kill_v the_o body_n and_o afterward_o have_v no_o more_o that_o they_o can_v do_v but_o fear_v he_o which_o after_o he_o have_v kill_v have_v power_n to_o cast_v into_o hell_n yea_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o fear_v he_o which_o show_v to_o we_o man_n can_v only_o destroy_v the_o body_n which_o be_v mortal_a and_o must_v die_v but_o god_n can_v destroy_v both_o the_o body_n which_o be_v mortal_a and_o also_o cast_v the_o whole_a man_n into_o hell_n when_o it_o be_v immortal_a after_o the_o resurrection_n and_o so_o he_o above_o all_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v and_o that_o this_o in_o short_a be_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o word_n be_v evident_a because_o the_o soul_n have_v be_v kill_v by_o man_n josh_n 10.35_o but_o after_o the_o resurrection_n none_o can_v destroy_v it_o but_o god_n and_o so_o i_o pass_v to_o the_o next_o objection_n which_o be_v object_n 2._o in_o phil._n 1.23_o 24._o for_o i_o be_o in_o a_o strait_a betwixt_o two_o have_v a_o desire_n to_o depart_v and_o be_v with_o christ_n which_o be_v far_o better_a answ_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v and_o say_v that_o this_o text_n do_v not_o contradict_v the_o state_n of_o man_n mortality_n because_o there_o be_v no_o time_n to_o the_o dead_a that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o the_o time_n between_o adam_n death_n and_o his_o

return_v to_o dust_n from_o whence_o we_o be_v take_v and_o become_v like_o water_n spill_v upon_o the_o ground_n there_o will_v be_v no_o time_n also_o to_o we_o till_o the_o time_n of_o the_o
