the_o sole_a ground_n and_o foundation_n of_o that_o heavy_a judgement_n and_o punishment_n of_o condemn_v all_o mankind_n to_o eternal_a death_n which_o be_v one_o of_o the_o most_o weighty_a act_n of_o god_n judgement_n that_o be_v ever_o execute_v in_o the_o world_n be_v to_o represent_v god_n not_o so_o much_o as_o a_o just_a judge_n as_o one_o that_o delight_v in_o the_o death_n of_o his_o

of_o a_o creature_n that_o be_v not_o a_o sinner_n if_o it_o be_v not_o for_o his_o imputation_n and_o although_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o god_n may_v as_o a_o act_n of_o sovereignty_n adjudge_v a_o

that_o ever_o god_n do_v or_o will_v do_v such_o a_o act_n to_o make_v the_o creature_n miserable_a mere_o to_o show_v his_o sovereignty_n and_o what_o be_v there_o in_o the_o imputation_n of_o adam_n

of_o pure_a sovereignty_n therefore_o i_o look_v upon_o it_o as_o a_o act_n of_o justice_n as_o well_o as_o prerogative_n the_o equity_n of_o which_o act_n lie_v much_o in_o the_o relation_n of_o

it_o enter_v by_o sin_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v death_n pass_v upon_o all_o inasmuch_o as_o all_o have_v sin_v 3._o then_o adam_n be_v only_o the_o occasion_n of_o our_o sin_n but_o god_n the_o

from_o it_o 7._o the_o very_a necessity_n that_o there_o be_v for_o christ_n to_o be_v bear_v of_o a_o virgin_n conceive_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o prevent_v his_o be_v a_o sinner_n confute_v this_o conceit_n for_o if_o adam_n sin_n be_v we_o only_o by_o imputation_n let_v but_o god_n not_o impute_v adam_n sin_n to_o christ_n and_o he_o intend_v not_o so_o miraculous_o to_o be_v bear_v for_o it_o behove_v he_o to_o be_v like_o we_o in_o all_o thing_n and_o why_o not_o by_o the_o help_n of_o man_n to_o be_v bear_v if_o adam_n sin_n be_v we_o by_o imputation_n only_o and_o not_o by_o
