of_o he_o have_v thus_o create_v the_o first_o man_n he_o make_v a_o covenant_n or_o agreement_n with_o he_o to_o this_o purpose_n that_o if_o he_o continue_v in_o obedience_n to_o god_n without_o

a_o state_n of_o happiness_n for_o ever_o but_o on_o the_o other_o side_n if_o he_o commit_v sin_n and_o disobey_v god_n then_o both_o he_o and_o all_o his_o child_n after_o he_o shall_v lose_v that_o

to_o eternal_a damnation_n in_o hell_n this_o be_v the_o agreement_n make_v with_o adam_n and_o all_o mankind_n in_o he_o which_o we_o usual_o call_v the_o first_o covenant_n upon_o which_o god_n give_v adam_n a_o particular_a commandment_n which_o be_v no_o more_o but_o this_o that_o he_o shall_v not_o presume_v to_o eat_v of_o one_o only_a tree_n of_o that_o garden_n wherein_o he_o have_v place_v he_o which_o god_n call_v the_o tree_n of_o knowledge_n of_o good_a and_o evil._n but_o adam_n by_o the_o persuasion_n of_o the_o devil_n eat_v of_o that_o tree_n disobey_v god_n and_o so_o bring_v that_o first_o curse_n upon_o himself_o and_o all_o his_o posterity_n and_o so_o by_o that_o one_o sin_n of_o he_o he_o lose_v both_o those_o together_o i_o say_v the_o full_a knowledge_n of_o his_o duty_n and_o the_o power_n of_o perform_v it_o and_o we_o be_v bear_v after_o his_o image_n lose_v they_o likewise_o and_o so_o be_v become_v both_o ignorant_a in_o discern_v what_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v and_o weak_a and_o unable_a to_o the_o do_v of_o it_o have_v a_o backwardness_n to_o all_o good_a and_o a_o aptness_n and_o readiness_n to_o all_o evil_a like_o a_o sick_a stomach_n which_o

hereof_o be_v that_o we_o be_v now_o expose_v to_o a_o infinite_a number_n of_o temptation_n from_o the_o world_n the_o devil_n and_o our_o own_o corrupt_a nature_n that_o we_o be_v ready_a and_o
