With a discussion of some of the great controversies in religion, about universal redemption, free-will, original sin, &c. For the establishing of Christians in truth in these atheistical trying times. / By Thomas Gery, B.D. and Rector of Barwell in Leicestershire.

be_v the_o guilt_n of_o adam_n sin_n whereof_o s._n paul_n speak_v rom._n 5.19_o where_o he_o say_v by_o one_o man_n disobedience_n many_o be_v make_v sinner_n second_o there_o be_v the_o defect_n

synonimas_fw-la image_n and_o glory_n when_o he_o say_v that_o man_n be_v the_o image_n and_o glory_n of_o god_n three_o there_o be_v the_o succession_n of_o a_o vicious_a habit_n and_o corrupt_a disposition_n in_o man_n nature_n in_o place_n of_o his_o primitive_a righteousness_n whereof_o we_o read_v gen._n 6.5_o where_o god_n himself_o witness_v that_o the_o whole_a imagination_n of_o the_o thought_n of_o man_n heart_n be_v only_o evil_a continual_o and_o psal_n 14.2_o &_o ●_o verse_n david_n say_v that_o the_o lord_n look_v down_o from_o heaven_n upon_o the_o child_n of_o man_n to_o

consider_v how_o these_o three_o part_n of_o this_o our_o native_a sin_n do_v produce_v and_o bring_v forth_o one_o another_o the_o first_o namely_o the_o guilt_n of_o adam_n sin_n be_v the_o sole_a cause_n of_o the_o other_o two_o as_o these_o text_n beside_o many_o other_o declare_v rom._n 3.23_o all_o have_v sin_v that_o be_v in_o adam_n and_o come_v short_a of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n i.e._n come_v short_a of_o that_o glorious_a image_n of_o god_n by_o reason_n of_o that_o sin_n of_o adam_n whereof_o all_o be_v guilty_a and_o rom._n 5.19_o by_o one_o man_n disobedience_n many_o be_v make_v sinner_n by_o which_o one_o man_n adam_n be_v understand_v as_o all_o acknowledge_v and_o so_o these_o two_o text_n make_v it_o clear_a that_o child_n want_n of_o original_a or_o primitive_a righteousness_n and_o the_o inquination_n and_o depravation_n of_o their_o nature_n do_v both_o flow_v from_o their_o guilt_n of_o adam_n sin_n and_o be_v the_o sad_a consequent_n of_o
