neither_o christ_n by_o his_o resurrection_n a_o general_a restorer_n of_o all_o mankind_n for_o so_o do_v cerberus_n interpret_v pelagius_n meaning_n i_o will_v not_o dispute_v about_o pelagius_n meaning_n for_o i_o know_v it_o can_v not_o be_v good_a since_o he_o deny_v a_o truth_n plain_o affirm_v by_o s._n paul_n and_o esdras_n both_o as_o cerberus_n have_v true_o affirm_v upon_o the_o

what_o meaning_n cerberus_n gather_v of_o those_o word_n of_o paul_n he_o gather_v that_o paul_n shall_v mind_v to_o teach_v by_o those_o word_n that_o christ_n restore_v as_o many_o as_z adam_z lose_v which_o gather_v be_v very_o false_a and_o that_o may_v be_v prove_v by_o the_o very_a circumstance_n of_o the_o place_n itself_o first_o paul_n purpose_n be_v by_o compare_v christ_n with_o adam_n to_o show_v that_o as_o adam_n be_v able_a by_o disobedience_n to_o make_v himself_o and_o all_o his_o posterity_n bond_n slave_n to_o satan_n so_o be_v christ_n able_a by_o obedience_n to_o deliver_v the_o same_o from_o that_o bondage_n and_o to_o make_v they_o the_o free_a child_n of_o god_n now_o for_o the_o manner_n of_o speech_n that_o he_o use_v in_o compare_v these_o two_o together_o we_o must_v beware_v that_o we_o understande_v it_o not_o so_o that_o we_o make_v christ_n &_o adam_n like_v in_o all_o point_n for_o than_o shall_v we_o be_v enforce_v to_o grant_v many_o
