argument_n be_v this_o a_o dead_a man_n have_v no_o power_n to_o procure_v life_n unto_o himself_o but_o all_o man_n by_o nature_n be_v dead_a in_o trespass_n and_o sin_n and_o therefore_o no_o

thus_o defile_v with_o sin_n we_o must_v conceive_v that_o adam_n be_v not_o only_o a_o particular_a person_n but_o he_o take_v the_o whole_a nature_n of_o mankind_n upon_o he_o so_o that_o the_o

of_o god_n and_o therefore_o by_o adam_n fall_n man_n be_v altogether_o deprive_v of_o his_o righteousness_n and_o carry_v against_o the_o will_n of_o god_n now_o to_o press_v the_o argument_n if_o it_o be_v so_o that_o all_o man_n heart_n be_v possess_v with_o rebellion_n by_o nature_n and_o turn_v away_o from_o god_n then_o man_n natural_o can_v turn_v unto_o god_n but_o all_o man_n natural_o

spiritual_a power_n some_o spiritual_a life_n put_v into_o a_o man_n before_o he_o can_v perform_v any_o good_a therefore_o a_o natural_a man_n can_v do_v any_o good_a but_o be_v a_o dead_a man_n in_o
