is true he had a great portion of grace given to him into his own hands to keep but no supportance from the Lord to keep him from falling and he being a mutable creature could not but fall and nothing is immutable but God alone and Satan in the serpent beguiled them saying you shall not dye but yee shall be as Gods knowing good and evill and they saw the tree was good for food and pleasant to the eye and a tree to be desired to make one wise so they did both eat of it and fell together Gen. 3.4.6 Why did not God support them from falling A. That man might see his weaknesse and that God might make knowne what he had decreed from all eternity and for the honour of his justice and mercy in the execution of his decrees in redeeming some and leaving others in that miserable condition What is the state of all men since the fall of Adam A. We have all lost our righteousnesse so that now there is none righteous no not one Rom. 3.10 and we have lost our holinesse we are all as an uncleane thing Isa 64.6 and we have lost our knowledge so that every man now is bruitish in his knowledge Jer. 10.14 having the understanding darkned being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them because of the blindnesse of their heart Ephes 4.18 and we have lost the soveraignty over the creatures here below will the Unicorne now be willing to serve thee wilt thou trust him because his strength is great wilt thou leave thy labour to him wilt thou beleeve that he will being home thy seed and gather it into thy Barn or doth the Eagle fly at thy command Job 39.9.11 12. Thus we have lost all our happinesse wherein we were created and not onely so but we are children of wrath Eph. 2.2 and slaves of Satan led captive at his will 2 Tim. 2.6 and under the curse Gal. 3.10 and lyable both to a corporal spirituall and eternall death Rom. 5.12 1 Cor. 15.22 Was that actuall sinne of Adam our actuall sinne as some would have it A. No for by one mans sinne death entred into the world and 〈◊〉 ●he offence of one many be dead by one that sinned for the judgement was by one to condemnation for by one mans offence death reigned by one and by the offence of one judgement came upon all men to condemnation and by one mans disobedience many were made sinners Rom. 5.12.15 16 17 18 19. Then how came that sinne of Adam to be ours if we did not then actually commit it A. It is ours potentially we being all then in his loynes as the fruit is in the body of the tree and also being begotten and borne by those polluted parents we receive originall defilement from them for Adam being defiled begat his children in his owne likenesse Gen. 5.3 and so his defilement spread over all men as when bondslaves had children they were all borne slaves by the law of God Ex. 21.4 and by mans law the fathers treason cuts off his posterity from his inheritance But cannot we recover our selves out of this miserable condition A. No we cannot think one good thought as of our selves all our sufficiency is of God 2 Cor. 3.5 it is God that worketh in us both to will and to doe of his own good pleasure Phil. 2.13 we are all dead in trespasses and sinnes Eph. 2.1 none of them can by any meanes redeeme his brother nor give to God a ransome for him for the redemption of the soule is precious and ceaseth for ever Psal 49.7 8. so that man hath neither power nor will to help himselfe but is dead in sinne O Israel thou hast destroyed thy selfe but in me is thy help Hosea 13.9 What meanes hath God appointed and decreed to help us out of this damnable estate A. By Jesus Christ the eternall Sonne of God he tooke our nature upon him that so he might be a fit mediator between God and man the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us Ioh. 1.14 he took not on him the nature of Angels but he took on him the seed of Abraham wherefore it behooved him to be made like unto his brethren that he might be a mercifull and a faithfull high Priest in all things pertaining to God to make reconciliation for the sins of the people Heb. 2.16 Wherefore must our Redeemer be both God and man A. He was man to dye and suffer in that nature that had sinned and he was God that he might overcome death and rise againe which none could doe but God alone againe he must be God and man to sanctifie that nature that had sinned and was defiled with it and he was God that so by the worthinesse of his person he may bring a satisfaction sufficient to reconcile an offended God for in that he dyed for us it was a thousand times more in value then if all men and Angels had dyed eternally for one poore sinner for it is unpossible that creatures should bring a satisfaction worthy of the acceptation and sufficient to appease the wrath of their Creator But if our Mediator was both God and man then he must be two persons but how can that be A. Although he be both God and man yet he is not two but one Christ as one body and soule make but one man neither are they one by turning the God-head into flesh but by taking the man-hood into God as the misletow lives in the Oake without any rooting so is the humarity in the God-head by a hupastacicall union unconceiveable unto us neither may we without danger search too farre into this holy mistery In what manner did God the father make that new covenant with God the sonne touching our salvation A.

Yes he was wounded for our transgressions he was bruised
