all_o the_o wise_a and_o learned_a the_o reason_n be_v that_o adam_n shall_v be_v the_o tâ—pe_n and_o figure_n of_o christ_n in_o who_o hand_n and_o will_n god_n be_v please_v to_o place_v our_o

therefore_o ordain_v and_o decree_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v the_o origin_n exemplar_n and_o period_n not_o only_o of_o all_o elect_v but_o also_o of_o his_o work_n as_o be_v clear_o put_v down_o

that_o he_o may_v transmit_v or_o convey_v either_o original_a righteousness_n or_o sin_n to_o his_o posterity_n unless_o it_o shall_v have_v be_v to_o that_o end_n that_o he_o may_v be_v a_o true_a

second_o adam_n be_v make_v manifest_a by_o many_o reason_n first_o even_o as_o the_o terrene_a adam_n without_o any_o father_n be_v frame_v from_o incorrupted_a earth_n even_o so_o the_o celestial_a adam_n christ_n be_v conceive_v and_o bear_v by_o the_o operation_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n from_o the_o ever-blessed_a virgin_n mary_n second_o as_o adam_n be_v the_o beginning_n of_o a_o animal_n

that_o original_a sin_n may_v be_v consider_v in_o order_n to_o god_n and_o so_o it_o may_v be_v call_v death_n wrath_n and_o enmity_n for_o by_o it_o god_n be_v induce_v to_o punish_v both_o adam_n and_o his_o posterity_n and_o in_o this_o sense_n its_o calleâ—_z in_o scripture_n ire_fw-la or_o wrath_n so_o s._n paul_n ephes._n 2._o say_v that_o â—e_z have_v be_v by_o nature_n childen_a of_o wrath_n which_o liâ—a_n expound_v thus_o we_o be_v bear_v in_o original_a sin_n second_o it_o may_v be_v compare_v to_o the_o vision_n beatifical_a which_o be_v true_a everlasting_a life_n from_o which_o original_a sin_n do_v avert_v and_o turn_v fit_o thus_o it_o be_v call_v death_n as_o s._n paul_n rom._n 5._o by_o the_o death_n of_o one_o man_n many_o be_v dead_a and_o by_o the_o sin_n of_o one_o man_n death_n reign_v thus_o original_a sin_n be_v true_o call_v death_n for_o that_o it_o avert_v from_o god_n true_a life_n three_o if_o original_a sin_n consider_v as_o in_o order_n to_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n may_v be_v call_v infirmity_n whereas_o man_n soul_n by_o it_o be_v render_v weak_a and_o infirm_a hardly_o able_a to_o resist_v illegal_a and_o lustful_a motion_n and_o

proper_a sense_n and_o meaning_n have_v two_o part_n the_o one_o the_o mateâ—ial_a part_n viz._n concupiscence_n which_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o infirm_a and_o weak_a quality_n the_o other_o the_o formal_a part_n viz._n the_o want_n or_o privation_n of_o original_a justice_n due_a to_o nature_n as_o in_o the_o actual_a sin_n of_o wilful_a murder_n two_o thing_n may_v be_v consider_v a_o

materiale_fw-la but_o the_o formal_a part_n be_v the_o privation_n or_o want_n of_o the_o righteousness_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v in_o that_o act_n which_o if_o have_v be_v in_o it_o the_o act_n can_v never_o be_v a_o sin_n so_o in_o original_a sin_n be_v include_v both_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n and_o of_o punishment_n the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n because_o its_o a_o privation_n of_o original_a

in_o positive_a thing_n as_o a_o mere_a privation_n yet_o it_o always_o ought_v to_o be_v real_o distinguish_v from_o they_o so_o as_o that_o sin_n be_v no_o other_o than_o the_o very_a want_n loss_n
