the_o truth_n from_o which_o he_o can_v not_o have_v revolt_v if_o he_o have_v never_o stand_v in_o it_o therefore_o god_n in_o the_o beginning_n do_v place_v all_o his_o angel_n in_o the_o truth_n

therefore_o â—_o in_o our_o first_o nativity_n we_o be_v all_o bear_a flesh_n but_o touch_v the_o disposition_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o the_o force_n thereof_o the_o apostle_n say_v the_o fleshly_a

wrath_n of_o god_n do_v signify_v the_o punishment_n which_o be_v by_o the_o just_a judgement_n of_o god_n lay_v upon_o we_o man_n and_o he_o be_v call_v the_o child_n of_o death_n which_o be_v

the_o son_n of_o wrath_n that_o be_v we_o be_v all_o for_o our_o original_a corruption_n make_v subject_n to_o death_n and_o utter_a damnation_n this_o place_n of_o paul_n for_o the_o proof_n of_o this_o argument_n be_v worthy_a to_o be_v remember_v the_o same_o apostle_n in_o the_o first_o to_o the_o colossian_n say_v god_n have_v deliver_v we_o from_o the_o power_n of_o darkness_n and_o

of_o the_o devil_n and_o to_o this_o place_n belong_v very_o many_o testimony_n of_o the_o same_o apostle_n in_o the_o five_o chapter_n of_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n by_o one_o man_n sin_n

be_v due_a to_o original_a sin_n for_o the_o reward_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n we_o do_v therefore_o conclude_v that_o infant_n do_v bring_v damnation_n with_o they_o all_o into_o this_o world_n even_o
