by_o christ_n but_o some_o will_v perhaps_o ask_v here_o how_o or_o on_o what_o wise_a can_v christ_n reconcile_v we_o this_o question_n the_o apostle_n answer_v in_o v._o 12._o saying_n wherefore_o that_o be_v on_o this_o wise_a as_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 and_o so_o death_n pass_v upon_o all_o man_n in_o who_o all_o have_v sin_v that_o be_v

if_o you_o add_v unto_o it_o v._o 18.19_o so_o there_o be_v the_o very_a same_o reason_n of_o the_o atonement_n of_o christ_n for_o christ_n have_v make_v the_o atonement_n for_o all_o man_n because_o they_o be_v all_o justify_v in_o christ_n now_o this_o be_v plain_a see_v the_o apostle_n draw_v here_o a_o parallel_n betwixt_o adam_n &_o christ_n that_o that_o parallel_n must_v hold_v so_o far_o as_o he_o make_v it_o to_o go_v let_v we_o then_o see_v how_o far_o this_o parallel_n which_o he_o make_v betwixt_o christ_n and_o adam_n v._n 12_o must_v go_v it_o be_v certain_a according_a to_o this_o say_n of_o the_o apostle_n that_o sin_n enter_v into_o the_o world_n by_o adam_n and_o death_n by_o sin_n and_o so_o death_n pass_v upon_o all_o man_n because_o they_o all_o sin_v in_o adam_n that_o the_o true_a reason_n here_o render_v why_o all_o man_n be_v sinner_n be_v because_o they_o all_o sin_v in_o adam_n now_o if_o they_o do_v all_o sin_n in_o adam_n they_o must_v all_o have_v be_v in_o adam_n and_o must_v all_o have_v depend_v upon_o he_o as_o upon_o their_o head_n and_o beginning_n or_o else_o they_o can_v not_o all_o have_v sin_v in_o adam_n just_o thus_o must_v this_o parallel_n hold_v also_o in_o christ_n righteousness_n be_v obtain_v through_o christ_n and_o this_o righteousness_n come_v upon_o all_o because_o they_o be_v justify_v in_o christ_n now_o this_o must_v be_v as_o true_a in_o christ_n as_o it_o be_v in_o adam_n to_o wit_n that_o see_v all_o man_n depend_v upon_o and_o be_v hide_v in_o adam_n and_o therefore_o do_v sin_n with_o he_o so_o also_o must_v all_o man_n be_v dependent_a in_o christ_n as_o on_o their_o head_n that_o be_v they_o must_v depend_v on_o his_o humane_a nature_n or_o manhood_n as_o well_o as_o on_o that_o of_o adam_n if_o they_o be_v to_o be_v all_o justify_v in_o he_o for_o see_v as_o §_o 76._o nothing_o can_v be_v unite_v to_o another_o except_o the_o unitor_n and_o the_o thing_n unite_v do_v meet_v in_o one_o and_o see_v man_n can_v be_v restore_v to_o his_o former_a state_n except_o the_o image_n of_o god_n take_v manhood_n upon_o he_o according_a to_o §_o 77._o it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o if_o the_o image_n of_o god_n to_o wit_n christ_n take_v upon_o he_o such_o a_o manhood_n as_o whereby_o all_o man_n be_v justify_v that_o that_o manhood_n must_v be_v that_o of_o the_o first_o man_n of_o who_o all_o man_n be_v descend_v and_o have_v receive_v their_o life_n because_o that_o otherwise_o all_o man_n can_v not_o be_v partaker_n of_o righteousness_n by_o the_o manhood_n of_o christ_n and_o for_o as_o much_o as_o all_o man_n descend_v of_o adam_n and_o so_o do_v depend_v upon_o he_o as_o upon_o their_o beginning_n from_o who_o they_o be_v bear_v so_o christ_n can_v not_o justify_v all_o man_n in_o he_o except_o he_o take_v upon_o he_o adam_n mandhood_n of_o which_o all_o man_n be_v dependent_a and_o for_o further_a confirmation_n of_o what_o we_o say_v from_o that_o which_o the_o apostle_n say_v to_o wit_n that_o christ_n must_v needs_o have_v take_v upon_o he_o the_o manhood_n of_o adam_n in_o the_o first_o place_n we_o must_v consider_v that_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o 14._o v._o say_v that_o adam_n be_v a_o figure_n or_o type_n of_o christ_n and_o consequent_o christ_n must_v be_v a_o man_n or_o must_v take_v upon_o he_o a_o manhood_n as_o the_o apostle_n affirm_v v._o 15._o where_o he_o call_v jesus_n christ_n a_o man._n 2d_o as_o death_n reign_v over_o all_o man_n by_o one_o to_o wit_n by_o adam_n so_o life_n reign_v over_o all_o man_n by_o one_o to_o wit_n by_o jesus_n christ_n v._o 17._o therefore_o the_o antitype_n must_v also_o agree_v in_o this_o respect_n according_a to_o the_o say_n of_o the_o apostle_n that_o be_v christ_n must_v be_v the_o head_n of_o all_o man_n as_o well_o as_o adam_n be_v and_o that_o the_o apostle_n prove_v very_o strenuous_o v._o 18.19_o because_o that_o as_o by_o the_o one_o transgression_n of_o adam_n all_o man_n be_v make_v sinner_n so_o also_o by_o the_o one_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n all_o man_n receive_v life_n if_o then_o all_o man_n do_v receive_v life_n by_o the_o one_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n than_o christ_n must_v be_v the_o head_n of_o all_o man_n as_o well_o as_o adam_n be_v and_o all_o man_n must_v descend_v from_o he_o as_o well_o as_o from_o adam_n because_o else_o christ_n righteousness_n can_v not_o come_v upon_o all_o man_n which_o yet_o the_o apostle_n do_v most_o express_o affirm_v v._o 18._o whence_o then_o do_v undoubted_o follow_v that_o see_v adam_n be_v the_o head_n of_o all_o mankind_n and_o see_v christ_n have_v do_v the_o same_o thing_n that_o adam_n do_v to_o wit_n in_o the_o antithesis_fw-la that_o the_o man_n jesus_n christ_n must_v needs_o also_o

what_o god_n aim_v at_o by_o he_o because_o god_n create_v man_n after_o the_o most_o perfect_a manner_n from_o all_o which_o in_o then_o follow_v that_o the_o sinner_n can_v be_v make_v perfect_a

by_o what_o mean_v the_o soul_n be_v become_v sinful_a §_o 92._o but_o some_o perhaps_o will_v query_n see_v that_o the_o soul_n be_v become_v sinful_a by_o what_o mean_n can_v she_o be_v deliver_v from_o sin_n to_o which_o we_o answer_v that_o the_o soul_n may_v be_v meliorate_v by_o recover_v of_o the_o image_n of_o god_n as_o have_v be_v show_v at_o large_a §_o 61.62_o 63._o etc._n etc._n
