the_o prophecy_n of_o isaiah_n c._n it_o be_v so_o but_o why_o be_v one_o call_v barren_a and_o forsake_v &_o the_o other_o the_o marry_a wife_n m._n first_o because_o she_o be_v not_o so_o fruitful_a

for_o diversity_n of_o sect_n and_o variety_n of_o rite_n and_o ceremony_n therefore_o she_o be_v term_v barren_a without_o child_n solitary_a little_a despisable_v and_o forsake_v of_o god_n by_o

of_o man_n c._n i_o will_v not_o here_o demand_v who_o be_v the_o husband_n of_o the_o church_n for_o i_o know_v it_o be_v christ_n the_o lord_n but_o who_o beside_o will_v they_o have_v to_o be_v her_o husband_n m._n the_o very_a synagogue_n itself_o boast_v of_o moses_n but_o very_o false_o as_o christ_n show_v in_o the_o 5._o of_o john_n say_v have_v you_o believe_v moses_n you_o have_v

so_o be_v the_o free_a gift_n for_o if_o through_o the_o offence_n of_o one_o many_o be_v dead_a much_o more_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o the_o gift_n by_o grace_n which_o be_v by_o one_o man_n jesus_n christ_n have_v abound_v unto_o many_o rom._n 5._o now_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o word_n be_v this_o that_o the_o gift_n of_o one_o man_n jesus_n christ_n have_v abound_v to_o many_o more_o than_o the_o fall_n of_o adam_n and_o the_o offence_n by_o that_o fall_n do_v extend_v here_o you_o see_v the_o apostle_n say_v in_o terminis_fw-la that_o more_o be_v save_v by_o the_o advantage_n of_o christ_n than_o be_v damn_v by_o the_o sin_n of_o adam_n c._n i_o do_v see_v it_o and_o i_o understand_v it_o but_o how_o in_o the_o same_o place_n be_v those_o word_n to_o be_v understand_v for_o he_o say_v as_o by_o the_o offence_n of_o one_o man_n judgement_n come_v upon_o all_o man_n to_o condemnation_n so_o by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o one_o man_n shall_v all_o man_n be_v

the_o whole_a world_n if_o all_o man_n have_v apply_v unto_o themselves_o the_o benefit_n of_o his_o death_n by_o say_v but_o this_o opinion_n totter_v in_o regard_n that_o all_o man_n be_v bear_v in_o original_a sin_n yet_o all_o man_n be_v not_o justify_v all_o man_n be_v not_o save_v and_o by_o this_o it_o will_v seem_v that_o the_o efficacy_n of_o the_o passion_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o so_o diffusive_a as_o the_o transgression_n of_o adam_n be_v destructive_a whereas_o if_o you_o consider_v the_o word_n only_o the_o reason_n shall_v be_v the_o same_o in_o both_o you_o have_v not_o forget_v the_o old_a axiom_n paria_fw-la paribus_fw-la &_o contrariis_fw-la omnibus_fw-la contraria_fw-la conveniunt_fw-la but_o this_o seem_v more_o plain_a to_o i_o to_o affirm_v that_o all_o which_o be_v condemn_v be_v condemn_v for_o the_o offence_n of_o one_o man_n and_o so_o also_o all_o that_o be_v save_v have_v salvation_n by_o the_o benefit_n of_o one_o but_o it_o be_v true_a that_o all_o be_v condemn_v that_o come_v of_o the_o old_a adam_n and_o all_o which_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o second_o adam_n which_o be_v christ_n be_v save_v but_o they_o be_v few_o these_o be_v many_o otherwise_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n will_v be_v find_v less_o than_o the_o disobedience_n of_o adam_n thus_o we_o shall_v with_o the_o apostle_n harbour_v thought_n correspondent_a to_o
