by_o death_n abolish_v death_n and_o bring_v life_n and_o immortality_n to_o light_n to_o which_o add_v this_o that_o if_o christ_n have_v not_o die_v and_o also_o rise_v from_o the_o dead_a there_o have_v be_v no_o resurrection_n and_o then_o have_v no_o second_o life_n there_o have_v be_v no_o second_a death_n for_o as_o by_o man_n come_v death_n so_o by_o man_n come_v the_o resurrection_n from_o the_o dead_a so_o than_o it_o be_v god_n love_v to_o give_v man_n life_n and_o put_v he_o into_o that_o happy_a condition_n in_o paradise_n but_o it_o be_v man_n sin_n that_o bring_v death_n

be_v not_o second_o life_n in_o paradise_n to_o be_v lose_v and_o therefore_o that_o sin_n purchase_v not_o the_o second_o death_n and_o so_o i_o pass_v to_o the_o three_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o adam_n sin_n do_v not_o make_v he_o guilty_a of_o the_o second_o death_n which_o be_v reas_n 3._o three_o because_o if_o adam_n have_v be_v guilty_a of_o the_o second_o death_n and_o that_o be_v the_o

make_v guilty_a by_o that_o sin_n but_o none_o do_v die_v the_o second_o death_n for_o that_o sin_n commit_v in_o paradise_n although_o the_o first_o death_n or_o a_o change_n which_o be_v as_o death_n pass_v upon_o the_o righteous_a as_o well_o as_o the_o wicked_a and_o that_o if_o they_o have_v be_v make_v guilty_a of_o the_o second_o death_n they_o shall_v also_o have_v die_v the_o second_o death_n be_v because_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o god_n will_v by_o no_o mean_n clear_v the_o guilty_a exod._n 34.7_o but_o if_o god_n do_v send_v christ_n to_o take_v away_o the_o

guilty_a and_o so_o his_o word_n be_v yea_o and_o nay_o and_o not_o yea_o and_o amen_o but_o it_o be_v the_o guilt_n of_o the_o first_o death_n god_n spare_v not_o his_o own_o precious_a one_o but_o we_o must_v needs_o die_v and_o be_v as_o water_v spill_v upon_o the_o ground_n which_o can_v be_v gather_v neither_o do_v god_n respect_v the_o person_n of_o any_o man_n yet_o he_o have_v use_v a_o mean_n that_o his_o banish_a shall_v not_o be_v for_o ever_o expel_v from_o he_o 2_o sam._n 14.14_o and_o in_o this_o sense_n man_n must_v die_v for_o that_o sin_n and_o so_o justice_n satisfy_v and_o so_o give_v way_n to_o mercy_n and_o thus_o i_o pass_v to_o the_o four_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o the_o sin_n commit_v in_o paradise_n make_v not_o adam_n guilty_a and_o liable_a to_o the_o second_o death_n which_o be_v reas_n 4._o four_o because_o it_o argue_v a_o change_n in_o god_n in_o what_o he_o have_v absolute_o decree_v for_o god_n do_v absolute_o decree_v that_o if_o adam_n do_v

etc._n add_v this_o also_o it_o make_v god_n to_o be_v a_o liar_n and_o the_o devil_n to_o speak_v the_o truth_n which_o be_v blasphemy_n to_o assert_v for_o as_o god_n say_v that_o if_o adam_n eat_v he_o shall_v die_v so_o the_o devil_n say_v they_o shall_v not_o die_v now_o if_o this_o be_v the_o second_o death_n there_o mention_v and_o adam_n not_o die_v that_o death_n and_o yet_o do_v eat_v judge_v who_o it_o be_v that_o speak_v the_o truth_n but_o it_o be_v the_o first_o death_n that_o god_n intend_v in_o that_o place_n god_n word_n be_v fulfil_v adam_n do_v so_o die_v and_o so_o god_n word_n be_v true_a and_o the_o devil_n be_v a_o liar_n from_o the_o beginning_n but_o say_v my_o antagonist_n god_n may_v alter_v in_o his_o threaten_n as_o in_o nineveh_n and_o hezekiah_n and_o the_o

he_o do_v decree_n and_o declare_v it_o that_o in_o what_o instant_n he_o speak_v as_o touch_v the_o destroy_n of_o a_o people_n if_o they_o do_v repent_v than_o he_o also_o will_v repent_v of_o the_o evil_a that_o he_o say_v he_o will_v bring_v upon_o they_o jer._n 18._o but_o nineveh_n do_v repent_v and_o proclaim_v a_o fast_a and_o therefore_o god_n be_v engage_v according_a to_o his_o word_n not_o to_o destroy_v they_o but_o the_o case_n be_v not_o so_o with_o adam_n and_o also_o hezekiah_n do_v repent_v and_o humble_v himself_o with_o mourning_n and_o so_o god_n be_v constrain_v to_o

have_v decree_v but_o do_v decree_n to_o alter_v the_o dispensation_n of_o mercy_n and_o justice_n according_a to_o his_o creature_n act_n and_o thus_o i_o leave_v the_o objection_n have_v answer_v

promise_v to_o give_v unto_o he_o and_o therefore_o that_o sin_n in_o paradise_n can_v not_o make_v adam_n guilty_a of_o the_o second_o death_n because_o he_o never_o have_v a_o second_o life_n or_o

a_o temporal_a death_n to_o satisfy_v god_n answ_n that_o christ_n do_v not_o die_v the_o second_o death_n that_o be_v to_o say_v christ_n do_v not_o suffer_v in_o the_o lake_n of_o fire_n and_o

then_o be_v in_o a_o curse_a estate_n and_o condition_n if_o your_o opinion_n be_v true_a but_o it_o be_v not_o and_o whereas_o you_o say_v that_o my_o opinion_n make_v child_n but_o a_o little_a behold_v to_o christ_n for_o if_o he_o have_v not_o come_v they_o have_v die_v but_o a_o temporal_a death_n and_o so_o they_o do_v still_o to_o which_o i_o answer_v and_o say_v it_o be_v true_a that_o if_o christ_n have_v not_o come_v they_o have_v die_v but_o a_o temporal_a death_n for_o that_o sin_n commit_v in_o paradise_n and_o also_o that_o they_o do_v die_v a_o temporal_a death_n notwithstanding_o and_o yet_o your_o conclusion_n false_a for_o christ_n be_v very_o beneficial_a to_o they_o notwithstanding_o so_o that_o if_o i_o have_v the_o tongue_n of_o man_n and_o angel_n i_o can_v not_o express_v it_o as_o i_o shall_v do_v time_n be_v precious_a take_v this_o in_o short_a that_o christ_n bring_v they_o to_o a_o resurrection_n and_o bring_v all_o the_o glory_n that_o be_v speak_v of_o in_o the_o scripture_n to_o be_v there_o portion_n at_o the_o other_o side_n of_o the_o grave_n i_o can_v be_v very_o large_a but_o i_o must_v speak_v now_o by_o figure_n as_o we_o say_v and_o not_o by_o word_n at_o length_n and_o leave_v you_o and_o the_o reader_n to_o enlarge_v it_o in_o your_o understanding_n and_o for_o as_o much_o as_o you_o desire_v i_o to_o inform_v you_o

must_v not_o be_v meddle_v with_o the_o sum_n of_o all_o be_v this_o first_o that_o there_o be_v many_o thing_n use_v among_o the_o son_n of_o man_n pretend_v worship_n to_o god_n which_o be_v

that_o there_o be_v no_o example_n or_o command_v for_o woman_n to_o eat_v the_o lord_n supper_n it_o be_v false_a for_o there_o be_v a_o plain_a precept_n 1_o cor._n 11.28_o in_o these_o word_n let_v a_o man_n examine_v himself_o and_o so_o let_v he_o eat_v which_o be_v preceptory_a that_o be_v he_o must_v examine_v himself_o and_o so_o he_o must_v eat_v the_o word_n let_v be_v preceptory_a object_n but_o if_o it_o be_v object_v that_o the_o text_n say_v let_v a_o man_n examine_v himself_o and_o let_v a_o man_n eat_v answ_n i_o answer_v it_o be_v read_v in_o the_o greek_a let_v a_o man_n or_o woman_n examine_v themselves_o see_v 1_o cor._n 11.28_o the_o word_n be_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d which_o be_v a_o woman_n as_o well_o as_o a_o man_n and_o thus_o the_o woman_n be_v to_o

male_a and_o female_a and_o bless_v they_o and_o call_v their_o name_n adam_n and_o thus_o you_o may_v see_v that_o god_n have_v not_o leave_v we_o to_o be_v guide_v by_o blind_a consequence_n but_o have_v leave_v we_o a_o plain_a rule_n and_o as_o many_o as_o walk_v according_a to_o it_o peace_n be_v unto_o they_o and_o mercy_n upon_o all_o the_o israel_n of_o god_n so_o then_o there_o be_v many_o thing_n practise_v pretend_v worship_v of_o god_n and_o be_v vain_a and_o yet_o not_o forbid_v in_o so_o many_o word_n thou_o shall_v not_o do_v it_o so_o that_o these_o may_v see_v themselves_o answer_v which_o hope_v that_o infant_n baptism_n may_v be_v lawful_a because_o the_o scripture_n no_o where_o say_v thou_o shall_v not_o baptise_v thy_o child_n neither_o be_v it_o any_o

thus_o i_o pass_v from_o this_o objection_n and_o also_o from_o this_o subject_a of_o discourse_n and_o come_v to_o the_o next_o which_o be_v that_o of_o original_a sin_n some_o objection_n answer_v touch_v original_a sinne._n as_o touch_v original_a sin_n there_o have_v be_v a_o great_a controversy_n whether_o it_o make_v adam_n and_o his_o posterity_n guilty_a and_o liable_a to_o the_o second_o

of_o and_o liable_a to_o the_o second_o death_n which_o i_o shall_v prove_v by_o several_a plain_n and_o evident_a reason_n draw_v from_o the_o scripture_n but_o before_o i_o speak_v unto_o it_o be_v

20.14_o for_o i_o do_v believe_v that_o the_o wage_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n but_o as_o there_o be_v a_o twofold_a covenant_n so_o there_o be_v a_o twofold_a death_n viz._n a_o first_o and_o second_o

the_o second_o death_n and_o so_o i_o come_v to_o the_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o adam_n sin_n in_o paradise_n do_v not_o make_v he_o and_z his_o guilty_a of_o and_o liable_a to_o the_o second_o

we_o may_v read_v the_o threaten_n gen._n 2.17_o in_o these_o word_n but_o of_o the_o tree_n of_o knowledge_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a thou_o shall_v not_o eat_v of_o it_o for_o in_o the_o day_n

earthly_a natural_a man_n and_o the_o second_o adam_n viz._n christ_n be_v a_o heavenly_a spiritual_a man_n so_o than_o the_o first_o man_n through_o his_o sin_n make_v himself_o mortal_a even_o the_o whole_a man_n there_o be_v a_o multitude_n of_o scripture_n that_o prove_v this_o thing_n but_o time_n be_v very_o precious_a with_o i_o i_o can_v at_o this_o time_n set_v they_o in_o order_n before_o thou_o but_o shall_v pass_v to_o some_o few_o reason_n to_o prove_v man_n whole_o mortal_a and_o the_o first_o be_v reas_n 1._o first_o because_o christ_n die_v soul_n and_o body_n to_o purchase_v our_o soul_n and_o body_n from_o the_o grave_n and_o if_o christ_n soul_n die_v it_o be_v real_o to_o that_o end_n that_o our_o soul_n may_v not_o lie_v in_o the_o grave_n and_o if_o we_o have_v dye_v only_o in_o body_n than_o christ_n have_v dye_v only_o in_o body_n but_o the_o whole_a man_n be_v mortal_a and_o return_v to_o dust_n christ_n also_o pour_v out_o his_o soul_n to_o death_n and_o make_v his_o soul_n a_o offering_n for_o sin_n as_o say_v the_o prophet_n isa_n 53.10_o when_o thou_o shall_v make_v his_o soul_n a_o offering_n for_o sin_n he_o shall_v see_v his_o seed_n mark_v that_o he_o shall_v prolong_v his_o day_n and_o the_o pleasure_n of_o the_o lord_n shall_v prosper_v in_o his_o hand_n 12._o because_o he_o have_v pour_v out_o his_o soul_n to_o death_n and_o he_o be_v number_v with_o the_o stranger_n and_o he_o bear_v the_o sin_n of_o many_o etc._n etc._n from_o hence_o we_o see_v that_o christ_n soul_n die_v that_o we_o may_v live_v again_o and_o not_o be_v leave_v in_o the_o grave_n which_o prove_v that_o our_o soul_n be_v mortal_a and_o die_v and_o so_o i_o pass_v to_o the_o second_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o the_o whole_a man_n be_v mortal_a which_o be_v reas_n 2._o second_o because_o if_o man_n body_n be_v mortal_a and_o that_o die_v and_o his_o soul_n immortal_a &_o that_o live_v than_o man_n have_v two_o life_n &_o two_o distinct_a being_n which_o be_v not_o for_o if_o there_o be_v two_o distinct_a life_n and_o two_o distinct_a being_n then_o adam_n be_v two_o distinct_a creature_n and_o than_o it_o can_v be_v say_v that_o as_o by_o the_o offence_n of_o one_o judgement_n come_v upon_o all_o man_n to_o condemnation_n for_o adam_n upon_o that_o account_n be_v two_o distinct_a being_n have_v two_o distinct_a life_n but_o man_n have_v but_o one_o life_n the_o whole_a man_n must_v be_v mortal_a or_o the_o whole_a man_n immortal_a and_o that_o the_o whole_a man_n be_v mortal_a the_o scripture_n and_o our_o experience_n do_v witness_v reas_n 3._o again_o three_o because_o otherwise_o christ_n have_v do_v lazarus_n wrong_v by_o raise_v he_o from_o the_o dead_a for_o if_o his_o soul_n have_v be_v in_o heaven_n four_o day_n and_o then_o christ_n fetch_v it_o from_o thence_o it_o be_v so_o far_o from_o a_o act_n of_o love_n to_o he_o who_o christ_n so_o well_o love_v that_o it_o be_v great_a prejudice_n and_o also_o i_o

whence_o we_o may_v see_v that_o there_o be_v to_o be_v a_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n out_o of_o the_o dust_n of_o the_o earth_n to_o life_n again_o that_o all_o may_v come_v to_o judgement_n to_o give_v a_o account_n of_o what_o they_o have_v do_v in_o the_o body_n whether_o it_o be_v good_a or_o evil_n and_o so_o i_o come_v to_o the_o four_o reason_n to_o prove_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n which_o be_v reas_n 4._o four_o because_o the_o same_o it_o which_o be_v sow_o in_o corruption_n the_o same_o it_o rise_v in_o incorruption_n and_o every_o seed_n shall_v have_v its_o own_o body_n as_o say_v saint_n paul_n 1_o cor._n 15.42_o so_o also_o be_v the_o resurrection_n it_o be_v sow_o in_o corruption_n it_o be_v raise_v in_o incorruption_n for_o this_o corruptible_fw-fr must_v put_v on_o incorruption_n and_o this_o mortal_a must_v put_v on_o immortality_n so_o when_o this_o corruptible_a have_v put_v on_o incorruption_n and_o this_o mortal_a shall_v have_v put_v on_o immortality_n then_o shall_v be_v bring_v to_o pass_v the_o say_n that_o be_v write_v death_n be_v swallow_v up_o in_o victory_n o_o death_n where_o be_v thy_o sting_n o_o grave_a where_o be_v thy_o victory_n which_o clear_o prove_v that_o the_o same_o that_o go_v to_o the_o dust_n the_o same_o rise_v again_o out_o of_o the_o dust_n only_o the_o corruption_n put_v on_o incorruption_n and_o the_o mortal_a put_n on_o immortality_n which_o can_v be_v understand_v another_o body_n but_o the_o same_o body_n neither_o can_v it_o be_v true_a which_o be_v say_v death_n be_v swallow_v up_o in_o victory_n no_o for_o if_o the_o dead_a body_n rise_v not_o out_o of_o the_o grave_n than_o the_o grave_n have_v victory_n and_o be_v not_o conquer_v so_o as_o to_o be_v say_v o_o

not_o another_o although_o my_o reins_o be_v consume_v job_n 19.23_o 24_o 25_o 26_o 27._o from_o hence_o we_o may_v see_v that_o although_o job_n be_v in_o great_a affliction_n yet_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o resurrection_n comfort_v he_o and_o that_o he_o mean_v the_o very_a same_o body_n be_v plain_a because_o he_o say_v that_o although_o worm_n do_v devour_v his_o body_n yet_o in_o
his_o flesh_n with_o his_o eye_n and_o not_o other_o shall_v he_o see_v christ_n his_o redeemer_n in_o the_o latter_a day_n stand_v upon_o the_o earth_n who_o he_o shall_v behold_v for_o himself_o and_o not_o another_o so_o then_o the_o very_a same_o job_n that_o then_o be_v in_o misery_n the_o very_a same_o job_n be_v afterward_o to_o see_v the_o lord_n to_o which_o add_v that_o the_o very_a

shall_v prove_v it_o by_o sircumlocution_n or_o plain_a reason_n draw_v from_o the_o scripture_n and_o the_o first_o be_v reas_n 1._o first_o because_o god_n have_v swear_v by_o himself_o because_o he_o can_v swear_v by_o no_o great_a that_o he_o desire_v not_o the_o death_n of_o such_o as_o die_v or_o of_o the_o wicked_a but_o tell_v they_o that_o their_o destruction_n be_v of_o themselves_o as_o ezek._n 33.11_o in_o these_o word_n say_v unto_o they_o as_o i_o live_v say_v the_o lord_n god_n i_o have_v no_o pleasure_n in_o the_o death_n of_o the_o wicked_a but_o that_o he_o will_v turn_v from_o his_o wicked_a way_n and_o live_v turn_v you_o turn_v you_o from_o your_o evil_a way_n for_o why_o will_v you_o die_v o_o house_n of_o israel_n and_o woe_n be_v to_o thou_o jerusalem_n will_v thou_o not_o be_v make_v clean_o when_o shall_v it_o once_o be_v thy_o destruction_n be_v of_o thyself_o thy_o wickedness_n have_v procure_v it_o jer._n 13.22_o 27._o from_o whence_o we_o may_v see_v that_o god_n be_v so_o far_o from_o decree_a any_o man_n damnation_n simple_o of_o his_o own_o will_n unless_o in_o reference_n to_o their_o reject_v of_o grace_n tender_v that_o he_o have_v enter_v into_o a_o oath_n before_o the_o son_n of_o man_n not_o to_o desire_v their_o ruin_n unless_o they_o resist_v his_o spirit_n in_o the_o tender_v of_o grace_n which_o show_v that_o he_o give_v his_o son_n to_o die_v for_o such_o as_o perish_v for_o without_o blood_n there_o be_v no_o remission_n of_o sin_n so_o then_o there_o can_v be_v a_o tender_a of_o the_o gospel_n which_o be_v remission_n of_o sin_n to_o such_o for_o who_o christ_n die_v not_o but_o more_o of_o that_o anon_o i_o pass_v at_o present_a to_o the_o second_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o god_n give_v christ_n to_o die_v for_o all_o man_n to_o bring_v they_o to_o a_o resurrection_n and_o glory_n as_o before_o say_v which_o be_v reas_n 2._o second_o because_o as_o god_n have_v swear_v not_o to_o take_v pleasure_n in_o the_o death_n of_o they_o that_o die_v so_o he_o have_v also_o say_v that_o it_o be_v good_a and_o acceptable_a in_o his_o sight_n and_o well_o please_v to_o he_o to_o have_v all_o man_n have_v salvation_n and_o to_o that_o end_n christ_n die_v as_o you_o may_v read_v 1_o tim._n 2.1_o 2_o 3_o 4_o 5_o 6._o in_o these_o word_n i_o exhort_v therefore_o first_o of_o all_o supplication_n prayer_n intercession_n and_o give_v of_o thanks_o be_v make_v for_o all_z man_n for_o king_n and_o for_o all_o that_o be_v in_o authority_n that_o we_o may_v lead_v a_o quiet_a and_o peaceable_a life_n in_o all_o godliness_n and_o honesty_n for_o this_o be_v good_a and_o acceptable_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n our_o saviour_n who_o will_v have_v all_z man_n to_o be_v save_v and_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n for_o there_o be_v one_o god_n and_o one_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n who_o give_v himself_o a_o ransom_n for_o all_o to_o be_v testify_v in_o due_a time_n from_o whence_o we_o may_v see_v that_o first_o as_o god_n have_v swear_v by_o himself_o that_o he_o desire_v not_o the_o death_n of_o the_o wicked_a second_o that_o he_o also_o say_v he_o will_v have_v all_o man_n save_v and_o that_o they_o may_v be_v save_v he_o say_v that_o he_o give_v christ_n to_o be_v a_o ransom_n for_o all_o man_n so_o that_o from_o these_o two_o reason_n you_o may_v see_v god_n love_n to_o all_o man_n extend_v and_o i_o pass_v to_o the_o three_o reason_n which_o be_v reas_n 3._o three_o because_o god_n have_v command_v the_o gospel_n to_o be_v declare_v to_o all_o man_n and_o condemn_v such_o as_o believe_v it_o not_o and_o the_o gospel_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v good_a news_n viz._n remission_n of_o sin_n and_o salvation_n by_o christ_n blood_n and_o command_v man_n to_o believe_v it_o upon_o pain_n of_o eternal_a wrath_n but_o if_o christ_n do_v not_o die_v for_o every_o man_n to_o who_o the_o gospel_n be_v command_v to_o be_v preach_v than_o a_o lie_n be_v command_v to_o be_v preach_v to_o the_o great_a part_n of_o man_n and_o they_o damn_v because_o they_o believe_v and_o receive_v it_o not_o the_o which_o to_o say_v be_v ridiculous_a and_o blasphemy_n but_o that_o you_o may_v see_v that_o this_o be_v true_a consider_v well_o that_o if_o there_o be_v a_o command_n give_v to_o christ_n minister_n to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n to_o every_o man_n that_o be_v to_o say_v in_o plain_a english_a that_o christ_n die_v for_o their_o sin_n and_o rise_v again_o for_o their_o justification_n and_o yet_o christ_n do_v not_o die_v for_o every_o man_n than_o this_o be_v to_o command_v a_o lie_n to_o be_v preach_v to_o the_o great_a part_n of_o man_n and_o they_o damn_v for_o not_o believe_v of_o it_o if_o christ_n only_o dye_v for_o a_o few_o as_o some_o say_v the_o which_o so_o to_o say_v be_v wickedness_n and_o then_o also_o those_o that_o be_v damn_v for_o not_o believe_v the_o gospel_n be_v damn_v for_o not_o believe_v a_o lie_n and_o how_o wicked_a such_o a_o opinion_n be_v i_o shall_v leave_v all_o to_o judge_v who_o know_v any_o thing_n of_o god_n and_o that_o you_o may_v see_v that_o the_o gospel_n be_v to_o be_v preach_v to_o every_o creature_n and_o man_n to_o believe_v it_o upon_o penalty_n of_o condemnation_n read_v mark_v 16.15_o 16._o in_o these_o word_n and_o he_o say_v unto_o they_o go_v you_o into_o all_o the_o world_n mark_v that_o and_o preach_v the_o gospel_n to_o every_o creature_n mark_v that_o he_o that_o believe_v and_o be_v baptize_v shall_v be_v save_v but_o he_o that_o believe_v not_o shall_v be_v damn_v from_o whence_o we_o may_v see_v that_o the_o gospel_n namely_o the_o good_a news_n of_o salvation_n through_o christ_n blood_n be_v to_o be_v preach_v to_o every_o man_n and_o whosoever_o do_v not_o believe_v it_o namely_o that_o there_o be_v life_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n for_o they_o through_o christ_n blood_n be_v to_o be_v damn_v because_o they_o make_v god_n a_o liar_n john_n 3_o chap._n 8._o 1_o john_n 5.10_o these_o well_o consider_v show_v that_o god_n do_v give_v his_o son_n the_o lord_n jesus_n to_o die_v for_o every_o man_n as_o before_o say_v and_o so_o i_o pass_v to_o the_o four_o reason_n which_o be_v reas_n 4._o four_o because_o it_o be_v very_o plain_a that_o so_o many_o as_o be_v make_v sinner_n by_o the_o first_o adam_n so_o many_o be_v make_v righteous_a by_o the_o second_o adam_n and_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o all_o be_v make_v sinner_n by_o the_o first_o adam_n ergo_fw-la all_o be_v make_v righteous_a also_o by_o the_o second_o adam_n for_o there_o be_v all_o set_v in_o opposition_n to_o all_o that_o be_v to_o say_v so_o many_o all_z as_o be_v make_v sinner_n by_o adam_n so_o many_o all_z be_v make_v righteous_a by_o christ_n and_o if_o so_o then_o it_o do_v follow_v undeniable_o that_o god_n give_v christ_n to_o die_v for_o every_o man_n and_o that_o the_o premise_n be_v true_a read_v the_o word_n of_o saint_n paul_n rom._n 5.18_o 19_o which_o say_v therefore_o as_o by_o the_o offence_n of_o one_o judgement_n come_v upon_o all_o man_n to_o condemnation_n even_o so_o by_o the_o righteousness_n the_o free_a gift_n come_v upon_o all_o man_n unto_o justification_n of_o life_n for_o as_o by_o one_o man_n disobedience_n many_o be_v make_v sinner_n so_o by_o the_o obedience_n of_o one_o many_o be_v make_v righteous_a from_o these_o word_n we_o may_v see_v all_o set_v in_o
christ_n and_o take_v its_o government_n with_o he_o to_o rule_v the_o nation_n with_o a_o rod_n of_o iron_n then_o shall_v the_o jew_n suck_v their_o breast_n namely_o partake_v of_o their_o glory_n who_o shall_v judge_v the_o world_n in_o righteousness_n so_o than_o the_o first_o reason_n to_o prove_v the_o manchild_n to_o be_v the_o faithful_a gentile_n be_v because_o the_o jew_n be_v mention_v in_o the_o text_n as_o the_o mother_n and_o the_o convert_a gentile_n as_o the_o manchild_n suck_v her_o breast_n and_o also_o because_o she_o be_v to_o be_v tread_v under_o foot_n until_o the_o fullness_n of_o the_o gentile_n so_o than_o her_o travel_v in_o pain_n to_o be_v deliver_v of_o a_o manchild_n to_o rule_v all_o nation_n with_o a_o rod_n of_o iron_n be_v to_o be_v the_o bring_n in_o the_o fullness_n of_o the_o gentile_n so_o that_o the_o gentile_a gospel_n church_n be_v complete_v and_o rise_v from_o the_o dead_a which_o shall_v be_v at_o the_o time_n of_o the_o appear_v of_o christ_n in_o the_o cloud_n at_o the_o same_o time_n when_o the_o jew_n shall_v see_v he_o and_o believe_v in_o he_o because_o that_o manchild_n that_o shall_v rule_v all_o nation_n with_o a_o rod_n of_o iron_n and_o second_o that_o the_o faithful_a gentile_a church_n be_v the_o manchild_n which_o be_v to_o rule_v all_o nation_n with_o a_o rod_n of_o iron_n be_v clear_a because_o they_o be_v the_o people_n that_o have_v the_o promise_v make_v to_o they_o to_o rule_v all_o nation_n with_o a_o rod_n of_o iron_n even_o the_o very_a same_o thing_n which_o be_v speak_v of_o the_o manchild_n for_o say_v the_o text_n revel_v 12._o he_o be_v to_o rule_v all_o nation_n with_o a_o rod_n of_o iron_n and_o that_o this_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v the_o faithful_a gentile_a church_n who_o be_v to_o rule_v all_o nation_n with_o a_o rod_n of_o iron_n read_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n speak_v by_o st._n john_n revel_v 2.26_o 27._o which_o say_v he_o that_o overcome_v and_o keep_v

with_o a_o rod_n of_o iron_n even_o the_o very_a same_o honour_n he_o have_v give_v unto_o his_o church_n which_o follow_v he_o in_o the_o regeneration_n as_o it_o be_v promise_v to_o the_o church_n of_o thyatira_n and_o i_o call_v the_o gospel_n church_n the_o church_n of_o the_o gentile_n because_o that_o there_o be_v but_o a_o very_a few_o jew_n convert_v it_o be_v the_o gentile_n day_n and_o the_o jew_n shut_v up_o under_o unbelief_n yet_o i_o will_v not_o be_v understand_v to_o exclude_v the_o convert_a jew_n of_o the_o same_o privilege_n that_o the_o convert_v gentile_n shall_v have_v for_o they_o be_v all_o one_o in_o christ_n and_o to_o have_v all_o one_o privilege_n and_o as_o for_o the_o manchild_n which_o be_v to_o rule_v all_o nation_n with_o a_o rod_n of_o iron_n we_o see_v plain_o that_o it_o be_v the_o gentile_a or_o gospel_n church_n as_o be_v promise_v to_o the_o church_n of_o thyatira_n and_o they_o be_v also_o call_v joint_a heir_n with_o christ_n that_o as_o christ_n have_v that_o honour_n put_v upon_o he_o even_o so_o do_v christ_n put_v it_o upon_o his_o church_n which_o be_v his_o body_n and_o thus_o i_o pass_v this_o second_o reason_n say_v that_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o manchild_n be_v to_o rule_v all_o nation_n with_o a_o rod_n of_o iron_n and_o i_o find_v none_o have_v that_o honour_n put_v upon_o they_o but_o christ_n and_o the_o gospel_n or_o gentile_a church_n for_o the_o whole_a house_n of_o israel_n have_v not_o that_o honour_n because_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o the_o convert_a gospel_n church_n shall_v judge_v the_o twelve_o tribe_n of_o israel_n so_o than_o the_o manchild_n speak_v of_o revel_n 12._o be_v either_o christ_n or_o the_o gospel_n gentile_a church_n because_o none_o else_o have_v the_o promise_n of_o rule_v all_o nation_n with_o a_o rod_n of_o iron_n and_o that_o the_o manchild_n be_v not_o mean_v christ_n i_o can_v give_v many_o reason_n if_o i_o do_v find_v any_o that_o do_v affirm_v it_o but_o because_o i_o find_v none_o assert_v it_o i_o shall_v spare_v my_o pain_n and_o second_o if_o it_o be_v not_o christ_n which_o be_v call_v the_o manchild_n which_o be_v to_o rule_v all_o nation_n
