potentia_o this_o be_v clear_a by_o the_o antithesis_fw-la between_o the_o first_o and_o secund_a adam_n as_o in_o one_o all_o die_n so_o in_o christ_n shall_v all_o be_v make_v aliv_o the_o one_o

only_o impute_v like_o christ_n righteousness_n since_o this_o last_o be_v the_o creator_n voluntary_a institution_n and_o work_n of_o mere_a mercy_n but_o the_o first_o a_o necessary_a operation_n of_o the_o creature_n and_o work_n of_o justice_n so_o the_o antithesis_fw-la hold_v true_a thus_o as_o in_o christ_n we_o fulfil_v the_o law_n suffer_v death_n and_o attain_a salvation_n be_v
