to_o good_a or_o evil_n so_o far_o be_v it_o a_o own-working_a of_o man_n and_o because_o the_o evil_a proper_o consist_v in_o the_o direction_n of_o the_o work_n or_o action_n and_o not_o in_o the_o

for_o that_o the_o direction_n of_o the_o work_n depend_v upon_o the_o freewill_n of_o man_n but_o not_o the_o work_n itself_o so_o that_o it_o neither_o follow_v that_o man_n must_v needs_o have_v

no_o place_n and_o this_o our_o answer_n may_v very_o well_o suffice_v but_o to_o discuss_v this_o shift_n a_o little_a more_o narrow_o i_o say_v that_o if_o christ_n have_v impart_v salvation_n unto_o all_o mankind_n only_o in_o virtue_n of_o his_o spiritual_a and_o divine_a be_v than_o he_o need_v not_o to_o have_v become_v man_n and_o to_o have_v suffer_v death_n and_o that_o christ_n become_a man_n will_v then_o have_v be_v utter_o needless_a and_o of_o no_o advantage_n unto_o sinner_n because_o christ_n have_v that_o his_o divine_a power_n before_o he_o become_v man_n and_o do_v not_o receive_v it_o by_o his_o become_a man_n but_o if_o they_o will_v say_v that_o christ_n as_o he_o saviour_n be_v to_o become_v man_n as_o we_o ourselves_o have_v prove_v the_o necessity_n thereof_o §_o 76.77_o i_o ask_v such_o what_o advantage_n christ_n become_a man_n have_v effect_v and_o whether_o christ_n by_o become_a man_n can_v reconcile_v all_o man_n if_o he_o have_v not_o take_v upon_o he_o the_o manhood_n of_o adam_n as_o the_o stem_n or_o root_n of_o all_o mankind_n the_o contrary_n of_o which_o we_o have_v just_a now_o show_v objection_n v._n but_o against_o this_o position_n that_o christ_n must_v needs_o have_v take_v upon_o he_o adam_n manhood_n to_o reunite_v all_o man_n to_o the_o the_o image_n of_o god_n again_o this_o objection_n will_v still_o be_v make_v viz._n that_o if_o christ_n have_v take_v upon_o he_o adam_n manhood_n and_o so_o have_v unite_v adam_n again_o with_o the_o image_n of_o god_n he_o shall_v at_o the_o same_o time_n have_v also_o unite_v all_o man_n with_o the_o image_n of_o god_n because_o they_o be_v the_o part_n of_o adam_n as_o we_o ourselves_o have_v affirm_v in_o answer_n to_o the_o former_a objection_n and_o yet_o we_o see_v nothing_o less_o than_o that_o all_o man_n be_v one_o with_o the_o image_n of_o god_n but_o daily_a experience_n show_v we_o the_o contrary_a and_o consequent_o that_o it_o seem_v to_o no_o purpose_n that_o christ_n shall_v have_v take_v upon_o he_o the_o manhood_n of_o adam_n more_o than_o that_o of_o any_o other_o man._n answer_v but_o this_o objection_n discover_v more_o the_o objector_n ignorance_n of_o the_o order_n of_o nature_n than_o any_o real_a contradiction_n for_o example_n be_v it_o not_o evident_a from_o experience_n that_o the_o fruit_n of_o a_o woman_n with_o child_n be_v a_o part_n of_o she_o very_o yes_o because_o she_o do_v some_o time_n change_v the_o form_n thereof_o in_o the_o womb_n wherefore_o her_o life_n have_v the_o direction_n over_o the_o life_n of_o her_o fruit_n while_o it_o be_v in_o the_o womb_n but_o when_o she_o have_v bring_v forth_o her_o chiâ—d_n than_o she_o have_v no_o long_a power_n to_o change_v her_o child_n according_a to_o her_o passion_n but_o then_o the_o child_n stand_v upon_o its_o own_o bottom_n and_o it_o be_v own_o life_n must_v preserve_v it_o so_o as_o that_o it_o have_v then_o receive_v a_o own_o out-working_a but_o although_o child_n and_o age_a people_n have_v a_o out_o work_v yet_o they_o do_v not_o therefore_o cease_v to_o be_v a_o part_n of_o their_o parent_n and_o consequent_o do_v always_o retain_v a_o union_n with_o they_o although_o they_o do_v also_o stand_v upon_o their_o own_o bottom_n for_o these_o two_o thing_n must_v be_v well_o mind_v here_o to_o wit_n that_o they_o have_v their_o corporeal_a be_v of_o their_o parent_n and_o so_o far_o be_v a_o part_n of_o they_o as_o adam_n say_v of_o eve_n she_o be_v bone_n of_o my_o bone_n etc._n etc._n and_o yet_o that_o they_o also_o have_v their_o own_o out-working_a because_o they_o be_v always_o in_o union_n with_o their_o parent_n and_o yet_o have_v a_o power_n to_o work_n of_o their_o own_o according_a to_o §_o 27._o yet_o they_o can_v come_v into_o that_o state_n of_o their_o parent_n although_o they_o do_v partake_v of_o their_o bodily_a be_v unless_o their_o own_o out-working_a do_v incline_v to_o come_v into_o the_o same_o state_n in_o which_o their_o parent_n be_v as_o for_o example_n when_o the_o apostle_n say_v 1_o cor._n 7.14_o the_o vnbelieve_a husband_n be_v sanctify_v by_o the_o wife_n and_o the_o vnbelieve_a wife_n be_v sanctify_v by_o the_o husband_n do_v he_o here_o signify_v that_o when_o the_o unbeliever_n be_v sanctify_v by_o their_o believe_a husband_n or_o wife_n that_o they_o do_v thereby_o become_v believer_n or_o do_v he_o only_o signify_v thereby_o that_o when_o two_o be_v become_v one_o flesh_n and_o so_o do_v enjoy_v each_o other_o spirit_n through_o love_n the_o unbeliever_n become_v sanctify_v through_o that_o spiritual_a fellowship_n which_o they_o have_v one_o with_o another_o that_o be_v that_o the_o unbeliever_n receive_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o believer_n who_o be_v his_o copartner_n a_o capacity_n or_o meet_a occasion_n of_o become_v a_o believer_n if_o he_o do_v also_o cooperate_v thereunto_o but_o not_o else_o in_o like_a manner_n when_o the_o apostle_n say_v in_o the_o same_o verse_n that_o the_o child_n be_v holy_a which_o be_v bear_v of_o a_o believe_a father_n or_o mother_n do_v he_o mean_v that_o the_o child_n do_v thereby_o become_v believer_n sure_o no_o for_o that_o will_v contradict_v all_o sense_n and_o experience_n for_o do_v we_o not_o see_v that_o the_o faithful_a abraham_n have_v a_o unbelieving_a ishmael_n as_o well_o as_o a_o believe_a isaac_n and_o that_o isaac_n have_v as_o well_o a_o esau_n as_o a_o jacob_n but_o the_o apostle_n signify_v thereby_o that_o there_o be_v in_o they_o a_o seed_n begin_v or_o

they_o have_v with_o adam_n that_o they_o be_v so_o far_o copartner_n of_o the_o divine_a image_n in_o so_o much_o and_o as_o far_o as_o they_o be_v a_o part_n of_o adam_n and_o so_o have_v the_o

and_o that_o therefore_o if_o christ_n have_v take_v upon_o he_o adam_n manhood_n he_o can_v not_o have_v be_v without_o sin_n but_o will_v therein_o have_v also_o partake_v of_o adam_n nature_n answer_v true_a it_o be_v that_o adam_n be_v a_o sinner_n but_o that_o it_o be_v also_o true_a that_o christ_n take_v not_o adam_n manhood_n on_o he_o till_o after_o adam_n death_n viz._n about_o
