because_o the_o spiritual_a part_n of_o man_n be_v not_o involve_v in_o the_o loin_n of_o adam_n whereby_o he_o do_v be_v get_v it_o but_o it_o be_v form_v in_o man_n by_o god_n zach._n 12.1_o so_o according_a to_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n when_o he_o speak_v concerning_o the_o dissolution_n sin_n of_o that_o mortal_a lump_n that_o man_n beget_v say_v than_o dust_n shall_v return_v to_o

be_v not_o in_o form_n and_o matter_n in_o the_o loin_n of_o adam_n therefore_o the_o spiritual_a part_n can_v not_o be_v pollute_v but_o the_o natural_a part_n be_v in_o matter_n involve_v in_o the_o

not_o sin_n in_o adam_n death_n by_o action_n because_o it_o be_v not_o in_o be_v the_o second_o reason_n why_o the_o guilt_n of_o adam_n sin_n can_v lie_v upon_o the_o spiritual_a part_n of_o any_o so_o as_o to_o make_v they_o stand_v guilty_a before_o god_n of_o a_o second_o death_n be_v from_o the_o reproof_n the_o lord_n give_v to_o a_o generation_n of_o man_n of_o your_o judgement_n that_o

from_o which_o word_n many_o conclude_v that_o god_n do_v change_v in_o his_o decree_n ans._n creature_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o god_n do_v not_o change_v his_o decree_n but_o do_v decree_n to_o change_v his_o dispensation_n of_o mercy_n or_o judgement_n according_a to_o the_o creature_n obedience_n or_o disobedience_n for_o god_n have_v declare_v his_o decree_n long_o before_o jonah_n

of_o the_o attribute_n of_o his_o justice_n or_o mercy_n but_o i_o conceive_v the_o reason_n why_o the_o promise_n do_v intervene_v be_v because_o he_o will_v not_o leave_v his_o creature_n without_o
