the_o same_o order_n and_o i_o will_v brief_o touch_v the_o principal_a first_o it_o be_v object_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n shall_v judge_v the_o world_n of_o sin_n because_o they_o have_v not_o believe_v in_o christ_n joh._n 16.9_o i_o answer_v that_o by_o the_o world_n we_o must_v not_o understand_v all_o and_o every_o man_n since_o the_o creation_n but_o all_o nation_n and_o kingdom_n in_o the_o last_o age_n of_o the_o world_n to_o who_o the_o gospel_n be_v reveal_v thus_o have_v paul_n expound_v this_o word_n rom._n 11.12_o the_o fall_n of_o they_o be_v the_o riches_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o diminish_n of_o they_o be_v the_o riches_n of_o the_o gentile_n v_o 15._o the_o cast_n of_o they_o away_o be_v the_o reconcile_n of_o the_o world_n second_o it_o be_v object_v that_o the_o law_n bind_v all_o man_n in_o conscience_n though_o the_o great_a part_n of_o it_o be_v unknown_a to_o they_o answ._n the_o law_n be_v once_o give_v to_o adam_n and_o imprint_v in_o his_o heart_n in_o his_o first_o creation_n and_o in_o he_o as_o be_v the_o root_n of_o all_o mankind_n it_o be_v give_v to_o all_o man_n and_o as_o when_o he_o sin_v all_o man_n sin_v in_o he_o so_o when_o he_o be_v enlighten_v all_o be_v enlighten_v in_o he_o and_o consequent_o when_o his_o conscience_n be_v bind_v by_o the_o law_n all_o be_v bind_v in_o he_o and_o though_o this_o knowledge_n be_v lose_v by_o man_n default_n yet_o the_o bond_n remain_v still_o on_o god_n part_n now_o the_o case_n be_v otherwise_o with_o the_o gospel_n which_o be_v never_o write_v in_o man_n nature_n but_o be_v give_v after_o the_o fall_n and_o be_v above_o nature_n here_o a_o further_a reply_n be_v make_v that_o the_o covenant_n make_v with_o adam_n the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n shall_v bruise_v the_o serpent_n head_n be_v also_o make_v with_o his_o seed_n which_o be_v all_o mankind_n and_o be_v afterward_o continue_v with_o abraham_n to_o all_o nation_n i_o answer_v again_o that_o adam_n be_v a_o root_n of_o mankind_n only_o in_o respect_n of_o man_n nature_n with_o the_o gift_n and_o sin_n thereof_o he_o be_v no_o root_n in_o respect_n of_o grace_n which_o be_v above_o nature_n but_o christ_n the_o second_o adam_n and_o therefore_o when_o god_n give_v the_o promise_n unto_o he_o and_o faith_n to_o believe_v the_o promise_n he_o do_v not_o in_o he_o give_v they_o both_o to_o all_o mankind_n neither_o if_o adam_n have_v afterward_o fall_v from_o faith_n in_o the_o messiah_n shall_v all_o mankind_n again_o have_v fall_v in_o he_o moreover_o that_o the_o promise_n of_o grace_n be_v not_o make_v to_o adam_n seed_n universal_o but_o indefinite_o it_o appear_v because_o when_o god_n do_v afterward_o renew_v the_o covenant_n he_o restrain_v it_o to_o the_o family_n of_o noah_n and_o abraham●_n and_o in_o abraham_n family_n it_o be_v restrain_v to_o isaac_n in_o isaac_n say_v the_o lord_n shall_v thy_o seed_n be_v call_v yea_o in_o the_o very_a tenor_n of_o the_o covenant_n there_o be_v a_o distinction_n make_v of_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n and_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o serpent_n which_o seed_n of_o the_o serpent_n be_v a_o 3.8_o part_n of_o mankind_n and_o it_o be_v exclude_v from_o the_o covenant_n and_o whereas_o the_o lord_n promise_v to_o abraham_n that_o in_o his_o seed_n all_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o earth_n shall_v be_v bless_v the_o promise_n must_v not_o be_v understand_v of_o all_o man_n in_o every_o age_n but_o of_o all_o nation_n in_o the_o last_o age_n of_o the_o world_n and_o thus_o paul_n have_v clear_v the_o text_n gal._n 3._o 8._o the_o scripture_n foresee_v that_o god_n will_v justify_v the_o gentile_n through_o faith_n which_o be_v do_v after_o christ_n ascension_n he_o preach_v before_o the_o gospel_n to_o abraham_n in_o thou_o shall_v nation_n be_v bless_v last_o it_o may_v be_v object_v that_o if_o any_o man_n be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o salvation_n by_o christ_n it_o be_v through_o his_o own_o fault_n it_o be_v true_a indeed_o that_o all_o ignorance_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o salvation_n come_v through_o man_n fault_n &_o sin_n but_o sin_n must_v be_v distinguish_v it_o be_v either_o personal_a or_o the_o sin_n of_o man_n nature_n now_o in_o they_o that_o never_o hear_v of_o christ_n their_o ignorance_n in_o this_o point_n proceed_v not_o of_o any_o personal_a sin_n in_o they_o but_o only_o from_o the_o sin_n of_o man_n nature_n that_o be_v the_o first_o sin_n of_o adam_n common_a to_o all_o mankind_n which_o sin_n be_v punish_v when_o god_n leave_v man_n whole_o to_o themselves_o now_o many_o thing_n there_o be_v in_o man_n proceed_v from_o this_o sin_n which_o nevertheless_o be_v no_o sin_n as_o the_o manifold_a misery_n of_o this_o life_n and_o so_o i_o take_v the_o ignorance_n of_o thing_n above_o man_n nature_n altogether_o unrevealed_a to_o be_v no_o sin_n but_o a_o punishment_n of_o original_a sin_n thus_o much_o of_o the_o person_n which_o be_v bind_v
