scripture_n in_o the_o beginning_n you_o agree_v that_o we_o bear_v the_o punishment_n of_o another_o man_n sin_n but_o say_v you_o that_o child_n have_v any_o spawn_n of_o sin_n cleave_v to_o they_o as_o seed_v to_o hatch_v and_o gender_n in_o and_o by_o any_o thing_n receive_v from_o adam_n as_o we_o spring_v from_o his_o loin_n this_o i_o deny_v page_n 136._o this_o also_o be_v the_o judgement_n of_o the_o examiner_n in_o many_o page_n together_o now_o if_o this_o be_v so_o that_o infant_n have_v no_o such_o spawn_n of_o original_a sin_n in_o they_o why_o do_v the_o scripture_n speak_v so_o large_o of_o the_o pollution_n of_o nature_n why_o be_v it_o say_v of_o man_n in_o general_a that_o the_o thought_n of_o the_o imagination_n of_o his_o heart_n be_v only_o evil_a from_o his_o childhood_n why_o do_v the_o lord_n christ_n so_o earnest_o press_v a_o necessity_n of_o regeneration_n why_o do_v he_o urge_v it_o upon_o such_o a_o ground_n as_o this_o that_o which_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o flesh_n be_v flesh_n there_o be_v nothing_o more_o clear_a than_o that_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n be_v whole_o defile_v from_o the_o very_a birth_n and_o for_o the_o psalmist_n in_o his_o particular_a though_o it_o be_v true_a that_o he_o do_v bear_v the_o burden_n of_o adam_n sin_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o the_o whole_a nor_o the_o full_a truth_n the_o full_a truth_n be_v this_o that_o he_o be_v conceive_v in_o sin_n that_o in_o the_o conception_n his_o nature_n be_v defile_v and_o the_o natural_a defilement_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o two_o great_a sin_n of_o murder_n and_o adultery_n and_o hereupon_o in_o relation_n to_o his_o natural_a pollution_n he_o do_v pray_v unto_o the_o lord_n to_o give_v he_o a_o new_a heart_n he_o go_v to_o the_o true_a root_n and_o cause_n of_o all_o the_o evil_n i_o must_v needs_o acknowledge_v that_o the_o author_n of_o the_o examen_fw-la when_o they_o speak_v of_o fall_v man_n they_o render_v true_a cause_n of_o his_o not_o will_v of_o good_a first_o the_o ignorance_n of_o that_o which_o be_v good_a the_o second_o a_o deprave_a judgement_n the_o three_o a_o want_n of_o due_a remembrance_n the_o four_o the_o power_n of_o temptation_n the_o five_o the_o habit_n and_o custom_n of_o sin_n page_n 132._o these_o be_v indeed_o true_a cause_n but_o they_o be_v too_o short_a and_o too_o narrow_a in_o their_o determination_n they_o do_v not_o come_v to_o the_o root_n of_o the_o evil_a to_o the_o inherent_a perverseness_n of_o the_o will_n itself_o and_o the_o pollution_n of_o the_o natural_a birth_n when_o the_o bottom_n of_o a_o wound_n be_v not_o search_v such_o mountebank_n must_v needs_o make_v a_o palliate_v cure_n next_o you_o say_v if_o you_o will_v take_v from_o david_n particular_a example_n the_o general_a condition_n of_o all_o infant_n why_o do_v not_o you_o take_v the_o text_n concern_v john_n his_o be_v sanctify_v from_o his_o mother_n womb_n and_o argue_v that_o all_o the_o child_n of_o the_o

be_v page_z 135._o for_o the_o parallel_n between_o david_n and_o john_n there_o be_v no_o equality_n betwixt_o they_o in_o the_o present_a collation_n for_o whereas_o it_o be_v say_v of_o john_n that_o he_o be_v sanctify_v from_o his_o mother_n womb_n this_o be_v by_o a_o peculiar_a privilege_n grant_v to_o he_o and_o whereas_o david_n say_v i_o be_v shape_v in_o iniquity_n and_o in_o sin_n do_v my_o mother_n conceive_v i_o he_o do_v not_o speak_v this_o as_o a_o king_n or_o a_o saint_n or_o a_o israelite_n but_o in_o the_o most_o general_a relation_n as_o one_o of_o the_o lose_a son_n of_o man_n fall_v in_o adam_n and_o bear_v in_o the_o corrupt_a mass_n and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o from_o the_o particular_a example_n of_o david_n we_o draw_v a_o general_a conclusion_n of_o the_o pollution_n and_o the_o defilement_n of_o nature_n in_o all_o but_o the_o author_n of_o the_o examen_fw-la do_v stiff_o maintain_v that_o the_o nature_n convey_v from_o adam_n to_o all_o his_o posterity_n in_o the_o way_n of_o ordinary_a generation_n be_v not_o defile_v with_o sin_n for_o say_v they_o some_o be_v sanctify_v from_o the_o womb_n as_o jeremiah_n and_o john_n the_o baptist_n be_v and_o the_o virgin_n mary_n may_v possible_o be_v page_z 65._o though_o this_o may_v be_v admit_v that_o some_o of_o the_o saint_n may_v be_v sanctify_v soon_o than_o other_o and_o the_o work_n of_o sanctification_n may_v begin_v in_o they_o from_o their_o childhood_n yet_o what_o be_v all_o this_o to_o the_o purpose_n it_o must_v necessary_o be_v suppose_v that_o corruption_n will_v have_v a_o be_v in_o certain_a moment_n of_o time_n before_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n can_v have_v its_o be_v jeremiah_n be_v sanctify_v from_o his_o mother_n womb_n yet_o he_o do_v curse_v the_o day_n of_o his_o birth_n he_o do_v resolve_v to_o speak_v no_o more_o to_o the_o people_n in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n he_o do_v show_v many_o fruit_n of_o the_o flesh_n as_o well_o as_o

man_n have_v its_o be_v before_o the_o spirit_n and_o the_o new_a man_n this_o i_o believe_v none_o can_v rational_o deny_v though_o they_o will_v acknowledge_v also_o that_o he_o be_v sanctify_v from_o his_o mother_n womb_n but_o mr._n everard_n to_o return_v to_o you_o again_o for_o the_o trouble_n you_o have_v with_o the_o lazy_a priest_n i_o fear_v sir_n the_o more_o godly_a the_o more_o
