be_v in_o adam_n before_o the_o fall_n i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v the_o same_o the_o very_a same_o for_o kind_n but_o in_o what_o degree_n adam_n be_v holy_a be_v unknown_a to_o we_o this_o be_v

sinless_a too_o so_o that_o according_a to_o this_o doctrine_n we_o now_o differ_v from_o adam_n before_o the_o fall_n in_o nothing_o but_o what_o every_o beast_n itself_o have_v but_o let_v this_o man_n know_v that_o god_n do_v not_o only_o write_v the_o law_n in_o adam_n heart_n but_o also_o endue_v he_o with_o a_o principle_n whereby_o he_o be_v enable_v to_o yield_v perfect_a obedience_n to_o that_o law_n and_o this_o by_o his_o fall_n he_o lose_v next_o see_v what_o folly_n he_o discover_v in_o prove_v this_o gross_a assertion_n concern_v adam_n he_o do_v it_o by_o that_o of_o the_o
