and_o that_o you_o may_v see_v clear_o in_o the_o pronunciation_n of_o the_o sentence_n by_o god_n to_o adam_n in_o gen._n 3._o from_o the_o fourteen_o to_o the_o twenty_o where_o he_o tell_v he_o that_o in_o sorrow_n he_o shall_v eat_v bread_n with_o the_o sweat_n of_o his_o brow_n until_o thou_o return_v unto_o the_o ground_n for_o out_o of_o it_o waste_v thou_o take_v this_o be_v the_o

you_o say_v that_o david_n there_o confess_v any_o sin_n or_o guilt_n of_o any_o sin_n as_o he_o stand_v in_o the_o loin_n of_o his_o parent_n unless_o that_o first_o sin_n which_o as_o i_o have_v

the_o make_n way_n for_o the_o open_n of_o the_o word_n before_o mention_v for_o in_o the_o first_o verse_n david_n be_v a_o petition_o to_o god_n for_o mercy_n and_o pardon_n for_o that_o sin_n which_o he_o have_v commit_v in_o kill_v uriah_n and_o take_v bathsheba_n his_o wife_n unto_o himself_o in_o the_o which_o petition_v he_o use_v three_o argument_n as_o we_o may_v so_o say_v the_o first_o be_v from_o the_o multitude_n of_o god_n mercy_n in_o these_o word_n according_a to_o thy_o love_a kindness_n according_a to_o the_o multitude_n of_o thy_o mercy_n verse_n the_o first_o the_o second_o be_v from_o his_o acknowledge_n of_o his_o sin_n say_v my_o sin_n be_v ever_o before_o i_o vers._n 3._o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v they_o be_v the_o great_a trouble_n that_o i_o have_v in_o the_o world_n they_o be_v always_o in_o my_o way_n so_o that_o we_o see_v the_o second_o motive_n that_o he_o use_v to_o attain_v mercy_n be_v by_o confession_n of_o his_o sin_n with_o great_a zeal_n and_o ardency_n of_o spirit_n he_o well_o know_v that_o god_n have_v promise_v that_o he_o that_o confess_v and_o forsake_v his_o sin_n shall_v find_v mercy_n and_o the_o three_o and_o last_o argument_n which_o he_o use_v in_o this_o psalm_n to_o move_v god_n to_o have_v mercy_n upon_o he_o in_o blot_v out_o his_o transgression_n be_v from_o the_o brittleness_n of_o his_o nature_n and_o the_o weakness_n of_o that_o lump_n that_o he_o be_v make_v out_o of_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v father_n thou_o know_v i_o be_o of_o the_o earth_n earthly_a which_o be_v subject_a to_o

the_o weakness_n of_o the_o matter_n that_o he_o be_v make_v of_o and_o that_o be_v the_o same_o that_o he_o desire_v god_n to_o take_v notice_n of_o or_o behold_v whereby_o he_o may_v gracious_o remit_v that_o sinful_a act_n that_o he_o have_v commit_v unless_o you_o mean_v that_o sin_n which_o believe_v man_n and_o woman_n suffer_v for_o which_o be_v the_o sin_n against_o the_o first_o covenant_n which_o do_v consist_v of_o a_o earthly_a paradisical_a glory_n which_o i_o do_v to_o you_o and_o do_v still_o affirm_v that_o both_o adam_n and_o all_o his_o posterity_n considered_o as_o they_o be_v in_o his_o loin_n do_v not_o only_o commit_v it_o but_o also_o suffer_v for_o it_o which_o i_o do_v then_o and_o do_v still_o affirm_v to_o be_v the_o first_o death_n by_o which_o pollution_n and_o corruption_n run_v through_o all_o the_o part_n of_o the_o outward_a man_n mankind_n but_o as_o i_o have_v say_v no_o pollution_n or_o disability_n in_o the_o least_o have_v it_o bring_v to_o the_o spiritual_a part_n of_o man_n whereby_o the_o conscience_n or_o spirit_n of_o man_n shall_v be_v defile_v neither_o active_o nor_o imputative_o not_o active_o for_o this_o reason_n because_o the_o spiritual_a part_n of_o man_n be_v not_o involve_v in_o the_o loin_n of_o adam_n whereby_o he_o do_v be_v get_v it_o but_o it_o be_v form_v in_o man_n by_o god_n zach._n 12.1_o so_o according_a to_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n when_o he_o speak_v concerning_o the_o dissolution_n sin_n of_o that_o mortal_a lump_n that_o man_n beget_v say_v than_o dust_n shall_v return_v to_o dust_n and_o the_o spirit_n to_o he_o that_o give_v it_o so_o that_o as_o man_n beget_v only_o the_o natural_a part_n of_o man_n and_o not_o the_o spiritual_a and_o thereby_o the_o spiritual_a part_n be_v not_o in_o form_n and_o matter_n in_o the_o loin_n of_o adam_n therefore_o the_o spiritual_a part_n can_v not_o be_v pollute_v but_o the_o natural_a part_n be_v in_o matter_n involve_v in_o the_o loin_n of_o adam_n be_v pollute_v corrupt_a and_o deform_v from_o whence_o arise_v all_o the_o corruption_n of_o nature_n as_o blindness_n deafness_n and_o lameness_n and_o all_o such_o like_a corruption_n which_o shall_v remain_v until_o this_o corruptible_a body_n shall_v put_v on_o incorruption_n so_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o the_o spiritual_a part_n of_o the_o son_n of_o adam_n do_v not_o sin_n in_o adam_n death_n by_o action_n because_o it_o be_v not_o in_o be_v the_o second_o reason_n why_o the_o guilt_n of_o adam_n sin_n can_v lie_v upon_o the_o spiritual_a part_n of_o any_o so_o as_o to_o make_v they_o stand_v guilty_a before_o god_n of_o a_o second_o death_n be_v from_o the_o reproof_n the_o lord_n give_v to_o a_o generation_n of_o man_n of_o your_o judgement_n that_o think_v the_o child_n must_v die_v for_o the_o father_n sin_n that_o when_o the_o lord_n do_v threaten_v the_o punishment_n of_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o father_n upon_o the_o child_n that_o you_o
