who_o be_v to_o restore_v what_o adam_n have_v lose_v be_v not_o the_o last_o of_o all_o man_n to_o comprehend_v man_n that_o be_v only_o pass_v in_o his_o grace_n and_o justification_n no_o more_o

condemn_v and_o that_o be_v it_o which_o the_o apostle_n speak_v very_o palpable_o in_o the_o same_o chapter_n 15._o rom._n where_o he_o say_v that_o death_n reign_v from_o adam_n unto_o moses_n upon_o those_o also_o that_o have_v not_o sin_v according_a to_o the_o similitude_n of_o the_o transgression_n of_o adam_n upon_o those_o who_o have_v not_o sin_v which_o word_n be_v no_o doubt_n to_o

according_a to_o the_o similitude_n of_o the_o transgression_n of_o adam_n bear_v before_o adam_n man_n that_o be_v bear_v after_o adam_n sin_v according_a to_o his_o similitude_n which_o to_o open_v up_o in_o order_n we_o must_v observe_v that_o never_o no_o man_n sin_v actual_o as_o adam_n sin_v but_o that_o it_o be_v actual_o impute_v to_o all_o for_o no_o man_n as_o i_o say_v before_o do_v actual_o eat_v the_o fruit_n of_o the_o tree_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a which_o according_a to_o the_o common_a opinion_n no_o mortal_a man_n ever_o see_v nor_o can_v see_v for_o the_o tree_n be_v remove_v from_o the_o sight_n of_o all_o man_n so_o soon_o as_o adam_n be_v thrust_v out_o of_o paradise_n but_o if_o no_o man_n can_v actual_o sin_v as_o adam_n do_v and_o yet_o all_o sin_v as_o adam_n do_v it_o remain_v that_o all_o sin_v according_a to_o the_o similitude_n of_o that_o sin_n by_o the_o imputation_n of_o it_o certain_o all_o orthodox_n divine_v agree_v upon_o what_o i_o say_v before_o that_o to_o impute_v to_o any_o one_o another_o sin_n be_v to_o esteem_v he_o as_o the_o committer_n of_o it_o in_o which_o it_o be_v requisite_a that_o one_o of_o the_o person_n have_v not_o

man_n we_o must_v therefore_o think_v that_o all_o man_n be_v esteem_v in_o the_o same_o condition_n as_o if_o they_o have_v perform_v that_o sin_n not_o actual_o for_o than_o no_o man_n sin_n
