reasonableness_n of_o christianity_n 2._o p._n 2._o that_o since_o these_o sacred_a write_n be_v design_v by_o god_n for_o the_o instruction_n of_o the_o illiterate_a bulk_n of_o mankind_n in_o the_o way_n to_o salvation_n as_o well_o as_o other_o of_o large_a capacity_n they_o ought_v general_o and_o in_o necessary_a point_n to_o be_v understand_v in_o the_o plain_a direct_a mean_v of_o the_o word_n and_o phrase_n such_o as_o they_o may_v be_v suppose_v to_o have_v have_v in_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o speaker_n who_o use_v they_o according_a to_o the_o language_n of_o that_o time_n and_o country_n wherein_o they_o live_v without_o put_v any_o artificial_a and_o force_a sense_n upon_o they_o now_o what_o we_o lose_v by_o adam_n may_v indeed_o be_v see_v as_o our_o author_n urge_v from_o the_o second_o and_o three_o chapter_n of_o genesis_n and_o that_o be_v bliss_n and_o immortality_n and_o a_o perfect_a state_n of_o righteousness_n which_o be_v without_o any_o of_o the_o misery_n of_o life_n or_o fear_v of_o death_n but_o what_o the_o punishment_n of_o his_o transgression_n be_v or_o more_o proper_o speak_v will_v have_v be_v have_v not_o the_o messiah_n be_v then_o promise_v to_o recover_v he_o from_o his_o lapse_v state_n and_o have_v not_o the_o merit_n of_o his_o future_a satisfaction_n be_v impute_v to_o he_o and_o all_o his_o posterity_n from_o his_o fall_n be_v not_o so_o clear_o discover_v by_o any_o part_n of_o that_o history_n the_o sentence_n denounce_v against_o he_o if_o he_o sin_v be_v only_o this_o in_o the_o day_n that_o thou_o eat_v thereof_o thou_o shall_v sure_o die_v 2.17_o gen._n 2.17_o now_o this_o indeed_o do_v threaten_v the_o punishment_n of_o death_n or_o mortality_n to_o the_o body_n and_o do_v not_o seem_v to_o imply_v any_o future_a expectation_n of_o eternal_a misery_n for_o he_o be_v from_o that_o time_n subject_a to_o a_o state_n of_o death_n and_o mortality_n and_o this_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o punishment_n which_o devolve_v on_o all_o his_o posterity_n 1_o cor._n 15.22_o 4._o p._n 4._o in_o adam_n all_o die_n i._n e._n to_o use_v our_o author_n word_n by_o reason_n of_o his_o transgression_n all_o man_n be_v mortal_a and_o come_v to_o die_v but_o though_o this_o may_v be_v admit_v as_o the_o natural_a mean_v of_o those_o word_n yet_o it_o can_v be_v infer_v from_o they_o that_o the_o soul_n also_o shall_v be_v subject_a to_o the_o same_o death_n and_o mortality_n with_o the_o body_n as_o our_o author_n contend_v or_o that_o the_o whole_a man_n shall_v cease_v to_o be_v 15._o p._n 15._o or_o that_o by_o the_o loss_n of_o man_n soul_n in_o scripture_n can_v only_o be_v mean_v the_o loss_n of_o their_o life_n for_o beside_o this_o opinion_n seem_v whole_o precarious_a and_o be_v no_o way_n countenance_v by_o this_o other_o part_n of_o the_o sentence_n curse_v be_v the_o ground_n for_o thy_o sake_n in_o sorrow_n shall_v thou_o eat_v of_o it_o all_o the_o day_n of_o thy_o life_n in_o the_o sweat_n of_o thy_o face_n shall_v thou_o eat_v bread_n till_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 for_o dust_n thou_o be_v and_o to_o dust_n shall_v thou_o return_v which_o word_n will_v by_o no_o mean_n infer_v that_o conclusion_n which_o our_o author_n draw_v from_o they_o 7._o p._n 7._o viz._n that_o his_o life_n shall_v end_v in_o the_o dust_n out_o of_o which_o he_o be_v make_v and_o to_o which_o he_o shall_v return_v and_o then_o have_v no_o more_o life_n or_o sense_n than_o the_o dust_n have_v out_o of_o which_o he_o be_v take_v for_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a that_o the_o mortality_n of_o the_o soul_n shall_v be_v infer_v from_o hence_o nay_o the_o direct_o contrary_a seem_v necessary_o imply_v for_o the_o return_v unto_o the_o ground_n for_o dust_n thou_o be_v and_o to_o dust_n shall_v thou_o return_v can_v relate_v only_o to_o that_o part_n of_o man_n which_o be_v form_v out_o of_o the_o dust_n and_o therefore_o if_o the_o soul_n be_v of_o a_o different_a original_a and_o of_o a_o divine_a extract_n as_o we_o be_v tell_v in_o gen._n 2.7_o and_o god_n form_v man_n of_o the_o dust_n of_o the_o ground_n and_o breathe_v into_o his_o nostril_n the_o breath_n of_o life_n and_o man_n become_v a_o live_a soul_n it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o soul_n can_v not_o be_v include_v in_o the_o sentence_n and_o therefore_o by_o this_o sentence_n of_o death_n or_o that_o of_o to_o dust_n shall_v thou_o return_v can_v be_v understand_v a_o total_a cease_n to_o be_v or_o a_o lose_n of_o all_o action_n of_o life_n and_o sense_n 6._o p._n 6._o which_o the_o reasonableness_n of_o christianity_n so_o much_o contend_v for_o but_o moreover_o if_o we_o be_v to_o understand_v no_o more_o of_o the_o nature_n and_o extent_n of_o the_o sentence_n than_o be_v to_o be_v find_v in_o the_o second_o and_o three_o chapter_n of_o genesis_n and_o may_v have_v no_o recourse_n to_o the_o gospel_n dispensation_n especial_o to_o that_o part_n of_o it_o deliver_v in_o the_o epistle_n i_o will_v desire_v to_o know_v by_o what_o authority_n our_o author_n include_v the_o posterity_n of_o adam_n in_o the_o punishment_n 6._o p._n 6._o and_o make_v they_o subject_a to_o death_n for_o his_o disobedience_n since_o there_o be_v not_o the_o least_o mention_n of_o they_o in_o the_o sentence_n for_o that_o seem_v direct_o level_v against_o he_o and_o not_o to_o include_v any_o other_o in_o it_o indeed_o our_o author_n prove_v it_o from_o rom._n 5.12_o 4._o p._n 4._o by_o one_o man_n sin_n enter_v into_o the_o world_n and_o death_n by_o sin_n but_o if_o he_o have_v no_o other_o proof_n for_o it_o than_o from_o the_o epistle_n this_o will_v be_v no_o sufficient_a reason_n to_o make_v it_o a_o article_n of_o our_o faith_n since_o according_a to_o he_o we_o be_v not_o to_o fetch_v any_o article_n of_o faith_n from_o the_o epistle_n so_o that_o this_o be_v all_o will_v be_v leave_v for_o we_o to_o believe_v as_o to_o this_o that_o all_o man_n be_v subject_a to_o death_n but_o that_o god_n have_v not_o indispensible_o require_v we_o to_o believe_v that_o it_o be_v a_o punishment_n due_a to_o all_o man_n for_o adam_n transgression_n from_o whence_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o full_a extent_n even_o of_o adam_n punishment_n can_v be_v gather_v from_o the_o sentence_n denounce_v against_o he_o which_o in_o the_o plain_a sense_n of_o the_o word_n can_v only_o threaten_v death_n or_o mortality_n to_o the_o body_n and_o not_o a_o death_n of_o the_o same_o kind_n to_o the_o soul_n nor_o that_o even_o this_o can_v be_v prove_v from_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o sentence_n as_o we_o find_v it_o record_v in_o the_o second_o and_o three_o chapter_n of_o genesis_n that_o death_n be_v entail_v upon_o all_o adam_n posterity_n for_o his_o offence_n and_o therefore_o it_o must_v be_v from_o the_o new_a testament_n where_o we_o have_v more_o light_n and_o large_a discovery_n to_o guide_v we_o that_o we_o must_v expect_v a_o clear_a account_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o punishment_n that_o be_v due_a to_o adam_n and_o what_o sort_n of_o death_n it_o be_v that_o his_o posterity_n be_v free_v from_o by_o christ_n come_v into_o the_o world_n but_o by_o the_o way_n since_o his_o chief_a argument_n for_o his_o notion_n of_o adam_n punishment_n be_v that_o nothing_o more_o be_v mean_v in_o the_o sentence_n denounce_v against_o he_o i_o will_v desire_v to_o know_v why_o by_o death_n in_o that_o place_n may_v not_o be_v mean_v a_o eternal_a loss_n of_o god_n favour_n in_o a_o state_n of_o existence_n as_o well_o as_o by_o never_o die_v in_o many_o other_o place_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v a_o eternal_a enjoyment_n of_o happiness_n or_o a_o freedom_n from_o eternal_a misery_n for_o by_o not_o die_v in_o such_o like_a place_n be_v not_o mean_v a_o exemption_n from_o the_o common_a fate_n of_o all_o man_n but_o only_o not_o die_v after_o that_o manner_n which_o other_o do_v who_o believe_v not_o in_o christ_n and_o if_o by_o this_o joh._n 11.26_o he_o that_o believe_v on_o i_o shall_v never_o die_v or_o as_o in_o another_o place_n he_o that_o hear_v my_o word_n and_o believe_v on_o he_o that_o send_v i_o have_v everlasting_a life_n and_o shall_v not_o come_v into_o condemnation_n joh._n 5.24_o can_v only_o be_v interpret_v of_o a_o immortal_a state_n of_o bliss_n and_o immortality_n than_o i_o see_v no_o reason_n why_o the_o sentence_n of_o death_n or_o condemnation_n may_v not_o imply_v a_o eternal_a loss_n of_o that_o happiness_n in_o a_o state_n of_o misery_n especial_o since_o i_o have_v already_o show_v that_o the_o mortality_n of_o the_o soul_n can_v not_o be_v include_v in_o that_o sentence_n of_o death_n denounce_v against_o adam_n and_o

beside_o if_o there_o have_v be_v different_a degree_n of_o happiness_n or_o misery_n in_o the_o other_o world_n from_o the_o very_a beginning_n as_o be_v evident_a from_o the_o whole_a tenor_n of_o scripture_n and_o if_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n have_v be_v immortal_a as_o may_v be_v easy_o evince_v from_o scripture_n and_o philosophy_n unless_o we_o can_v prove_v that_o any_o of_o they_o have_v be_v annihilate_v by_o god_n than_o we_o have_v reason_n to_o believe_v that_o the_o punishment_n due_a to_o adam_n and_o all_o his_o sin_v posterity_n be_v to_o have_v be_v eternal_a misery_n from_o all_o this_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o adam_n punishment_n do_v not_o appear_v from_o scripture_n to_o consist_v only_o in_o a_o temporal_a death_n but_o that_o as_o he_o fall_v from_o a_o state_n of_o perfect_a obedience_n as_o our_o author_n have_v grant_v p._n 3._o and_o be_v consequent_o uncapable_a of_o please_a god_n so_o the_o nature_n of_o his_o punishment_n and_o that_o which_o all_o mankind_n shall_v have_v undergo_v for_o all_o be_v sinner_n will_v be_v best_a know_v from_o what_o the_o scripture_n declare_v concern_v the_o reason_n of_o christ_n come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o that_o be_v to_o make_v satisfaction_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o to_o restore_v mankind_n to_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n by_o suffer_v in_o our_o stead_n and_o be_v make_v sin_n for_o we_o and_o that_o this_o be_v the_o true_a end_n of_o his_o come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o of_o his_o suffering_n be_v evident_a from_o the_o prediction_n concern_v he_o and_o from_o the_o consent_n of_o both_o gospel_n and_o epistle_n the_o prophecy_n of_o isaiah_n be_v very_o full_a and_o express_v in_o assign_v the_o end_n of_o christ_n come_v sure_o he_o have_v bear_v our_o grief_n and_o carry_v our_o sorrow_n he_o be_v wound_v for_o our_o transgression_n 53._o isa_n 53._o and_o be_v bruise_v for_o our_o iniquity_n he_o be_v number_v with_o the_o transgressor_n and_o he_o bear_v the_o sin_n of_o many_o and_o make_v intercession_n for_o the_o transgressor_n all_o which_o be_v so_o very_o plain_a and_o intelligible_a that_o the_o force_n of_o they_o can_v be_v evade_v so_o that_o the_o true_a end_n of_o christ_n come_v be_v not_o only_o to_o obtain_v for_o we_o bliss_n and_o immortality_n which_o we_o lose_v by_o adam_n but_o also_o in_o order_n to_o effect_v that_o to_o redeem_v we_o from_o our_o sin_n and_o the_o gild_n of_o they_o and_o to_o deliver_v we_o from_o the_o wrath_n to_o come_v by_o the_o propitiatory_a sacrifice_n of_o himself_o for_o we_o we_o have_v also_o this_o end_n of_o christ_n come_v to_o save_v sinner_n often_o mention_v in_o the_o gospel_n thou_o shall_v call_v his_o name_n emanuel_n 1.21_o mat._n 1.21_o for_o he_o

assure_v we_o if_o we_o can_v believe_v his_o own_o word_n that_o god_n so_o love_v the_o world_n that_o he_o give_v his_o only_a beget_v son_n that_o whosoever_o believe_v on_o he_o shall_v not_o

christ_n come_v into_o the_o world_n but_o their_o only_a punishment_n have_v be_v only_o a_o cease_v to_o be_v after_o death_n i_o think_v it_o be_v neither_o a_o absurdity_n or_o heresy_n to_o say_v that_o it_o will_v have_v be_v much_o more_o advantageous_a for_o mankind_n that_o christ_n shall_v never_o have_v come_v into_o the_o world_n since_o it_o will_v have_v be_v much_o better_a that_o all_o man_n shall_v have_v have_v a_o end_n put_v to_o their_o being_n by_o death_n than_o that_o part_n of_o mankind_n only_o shall_v be_v save_v as_o it_o now_o will_v be_v and_o the_o rest_n be_v condemn_v to_o eternal_a misery_n though_o it_o be_v by_o their_o own_o default_n for_o the_o punishment_n of_o even_o all_o mankind_n by_o such_o a_o death_n do_v not_o seem_v to_o bear_v a_o sufficient_a proportion_n to_o the_o eternal_a misery_n of_o but_o one_o soul_n so_o that_o we_o must_v allow_v that_o christ_n come_v into_o the_o world_n be_v to_o save_v those_o that_o believe_v and_o repent_v from_o eternal_a torment_n in_o another_o world_n or_o else_o that_o his_o come_v to_o save_v we_o be_v a_o general_a disadvantage_n but_o moreover_o we_o have_v several_a other_o

we_o must_v otherwise_o have_v suffer_v in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v for_o there_o be_v no_o other_o wrath_n which_o good_a man_n be_v exempt_v from_o for_o they_o be_v still_o as_o much_o expose_v
