for_o see_v all_o mankind_n be_v personate_v as_o well_o in_o the_o second_o as_o in_o the_o first_o adam_n you_o can_v no_o more_o exclude_v any_o from_o the_o justification_n of_o life_n as_o have_v

in_o respect_n of_o damnation_n for_o all_o infant_n do_v bear_v the_o sin_n of_o their_o father_n adam_n and_o sometime_o in_o temporal_a punishment_n they_o bear_v the_o sin_n of_o their_o
