she_o pretend_v to_o hold_v forth_o against_o all_o those_o who_o affirm_v that_o adam_n lose_v original_a righteousness_n only_o for_o himself_o and_o not_o for_o we_o his_o posterity_n and_o that_o by_o adam_n disobedience_n sin_n descend_v not_o upon_o mankind_n but_o only_o a_o bodily_a death_n or_o punishment_n indeed_o here_o she_o have_v also_o some_o height_n of_o imagination_n as_o that_o original_a sin_n be_v not_o only_o remit_v by_o baptism_n but_o utter_o abolish_v and_o quite_o take_v away_o that_o the_o concupiscence_n remain_v in_o the_o regenerate_a be_v no_o sin_n that_o

many_o more_o height_n of_o imagination_n they_o have_v much_o dispute_v on_o among_o their_o scholastic_n so_o that_o they_o owe_v their_o error_n not_o to_o the_o simple_a profession_n of_o original_a sin_n but_o to_o their_o subtle_a disputation_n about_o it_o as_o for_o their_o opinion_n of_o the_o bless_a virgin_n immaculate_a conception_n it_o arise_v from_o no_o other_o height_n

this_o low_a imagination_n o●_z slender_a and_o slight_a conceit_n of_o a_o metonymical_a juridical_a external_a collateral_a nay_o equivocal_a abusive_a fantastical_a imputation_n serve_v not_o to_o be_v get_v a_o conceit_n or_o presumption_n of_o a_o immaculate_a conception_n in_o we_o all_o i_o have_v read_v of_o one_o that_o will_v needs_o deny_v the_o immortality_n of_o the_o soul_n with_o

truth_n of_o original_a sin_n one_o thing_n more_o he_o say_v i_o be_o to_o observe_v before_o i_o leave_v consider_v the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n this_o one_o thing_n be_v not_o so_o much_o a_o consequent_a of_o what_o he_o will_v say_v for_o himself_o as_o a_o argument_n against_o all_o such_o as_o will_v argue_v against_o he_o the_o ground_n betwixt_o both_o be_v lay_v in_o these_o last_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n as_o by_o one_o man_n disobedience_n many_o be_v make_v sinner_n so_o by_o the_o obedience_n of_o one_o shall_v many_o be_v make_v righteous_a some_o say_v he_o from_o hence_o suppose_v they_o argue_v strong_o to_o the_o overthrow_n of_o all_o that_o i_o have_v say_v thus_o as_o by_o christ_n we_o be_v make_v real_o righteous_a so_o by_o adam_n we_o be_v make_v real_o sinner_n this_o we_o acknowledge_v not_o only_o to_o be_v our_o argument_n but_o our_o way_n of_o augmentation_n and_o if_o this_o stand_v good_a be_v sufficient_a to_o overthrow_v all_o that_o he_o have_v say_v than_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o be_v observe_v to_o what_o purpose_n he_o have_v speak_v all_o this_o while_n but_o to_o this_o he_o have_v speak_v in_o his_o address_n and_o to_o they_o we_o can_v say_v nothing_o till_o we_o see_v they_o but_o beside_o say_v he_o i_o have_v something_o very_o material_a to_o reply_v to_o the_o form_n of_o the_o argument_n which_o be_v a_o very_a trick_n and_o fallacy_n strong_a reason_n may_v be_v speak_v very_o often_o without_o a_o formal_a syllogism_n and_o where_o the_o matter_n can_v be_v deny_v to_o be_v true_a and_o good_a it_o be_v but_o a_o kind_n of_o sophistical_a fallacy_n to_o stand_v too_o pedantical_o upon_o the_o form_n but_o to_o argue_v from_o hence_o as_o by_o christ_n we_o be_v make_v real_o righteous_a so_o by_o adam_n we_o be_v make_v real_o sinner_n be_v say_v he_o to_o invert_v the_o purpose_n of_o the_o apostle_n the_o reciprocation_n or_o conversion_n of_o proposition_n be_v no_o inversion_n of_o their_o purpose_n where_o they_o may_v true_o predicate_v either_o way_n neither_o be_v the_o invert_n of_o word_n in_o their_o order_n always_o a_o pervert_n of_o they_o in_o their_o intent_n but_o the_o apostle_n argue_v from_o the_o less_o to_o the_o great_a indeed_o the_o apostle_n in_o his_o comparison_n proceed_v after_o such_o a_o manner_n as_o from_o adam_n to_o christ_n from_o sin_n to_o grace_n from_o death_n to_o life_n now_o comparate_v janus-like_a look_v {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o forward_o and_o backward_o and_o may_v argue_v mutual_o from_o one_o to_o another_o nay_o they_o must_v do_v it_o else_o can_v they_o not_o be_v comparate_v now_o though_o the_o apostle_n argue_v from_o the_o less_o to_o the_o great_a by_o way_n of_o amplification_n yet_o he_o forbid_v not_o to_o argue_v from_o the_o great_a to_o the_o less_o for_o matter_n of_o reality_n and_o that_o be_v all_o our_o argument_n but_o we_o say_v he_o make_v it_o conclude_v affirmative_o from_o the_o great_a to_o the_o less_o in_o matter_n of_o power_n will_v he_o allow_v we_o to_o do_v it_o negative_o why_o that_o will_v serve_v our_o turn_n sufficient_o thus_o as_o christ_n righteousness_n be_v not_o impute_v only_o so_o neither_o be_v adam_n sin_n or_o thus_o as_o our_o righteousness_n by_o christ_n be_v not_o a_o metonymical_a righteousness_n so_o our_o sin_n by_o adam_n be_v not_o a_o metonymical_a sin_n but_o by_o his_o leave_n we_o may_v take_v liberty_n to_o argue_v affirmative_o as_o before_o and_o yet_o offend_v against_o no_o logical_a law_n or_o canon_n of_o comparate_v nay_o and_o the_o consequence_n shall_v be_v of_o great_a force_n even_o affirmative_o as_o thus_o as_o christ_n do_v and_o suffer_v his_o father_n will_n so_o ought_v we_o to_o do_v and_o suffer_v the_o same_o as_o god_n charge_v his_o angel_n with_o folly_n how_o much_o more_o may_v he_o we_o mortal_a man_n and_o from_o the_o apostle_n in_o this_o place_n as_o the_o life_n be_v a_o real_a life_n so_o the_o death_n be_v a_o real_a death_n as_o the_o grace_n be_v real_a grace_n so_o the_o sin_n be_v real_a sin_n but_o he_o now_o assume_v the_o trick_n
