sin_n because_o the_o will_n through_o the_o want_n of_o original_a justice_n be_v leave_v prone_a to_o rebellion_n against_o reason_n that_o original_a sin_n be_v formal_o the_o want_n of_o original_a justice_n be_v thus_o prove_v every_o sin_n formal_o be_v injustice_n ergo_o every_o sin_n be_v the_o privation_n of_o some_o justice_n or_o righteousness_n due_a but_o the_o righteousness_n due_a to_o infant_n be_v not_o actual_a but_o original_n ergo_o original_a sin_n be_v formal_o the_o want_n of_o original_a righteousness_n due_a to_o every_o individual_a further_o even_o as_o actual_a sin_n be_v the_o want_n or_o loss_n of_o the_o righteousness_n and_o rectitude_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v in_o the_o consent_a act_n of_o the_o will_n even_o so_o original_a sin_n be_v the_o privation_n of_o original_a justice_n and_o rectitude_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v in_o vature_n which_o rectitude_n be_v original_a righteousness_n for_o as_o every_o act_n have_v natural_o annex_v to_o it_o a_o proper_a rectitude_n so_o human_a nature_n be_v create_v by_o god_n with_o its_o proper_a natural_a and_o supernatural_a rectitude_n whereas_o original_a justice_n as_o a_o special_a gift_n bestow_v by_o god_n not_o only_o on_o adam_n but_o also_o on_o all_o his_o relative_a descendant_n be_v a_o kind_n of_o rectitude_n and_o justice_n due_a and_o belong_v to_o nature_n so_o as_o the_o loss_n privation_n or_o want_v thereof_o become_v a_o vice_n or_o sin_n in_o nature_n and_o thus_o the_o want_n of_o it_o be_v the_o want_n of_o due_a justice_n or_o righteousness_n but_o the_o privation_n or_o want_n of_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n not_o actual_a because_o it_o be_v not_o lose_v by_o any_o proper_a consent_a act_n of_o the_o will_n but_o rather_o it_o be_v sin_n original_a that_o be_v contract_v and_o derive_v to_o we_o daily_o through_o the_o actual_a disobedience_n of_o adam_n further_o i_o say_v that_o by_o original_a justice_n man_n be_v make_v acceptable_a and_o graâ—eful_a to_o god_n therefore_o by_o the_o loss_n or_o privation_n of_o original_a justice_n man_n be_v out_o of_o god_n favour_n and_o gracâ—_z and_o for_o this_o reason_n sin_n be_v count_v the_o death_n of_o the_o soul_n as_o grace_n be_v the_o life_n of_o it_o for_o without_o habitual_a grace_n which_o be_v equivalent_a to_o original_a justice_n none_o can_v become_v grateful_a to_o god_n nor_o be_v capable_a of_o any_o title_n to_o heaven_n whence_o we_o may_v infer_v child_n to_o be_v in_o god_n almighty_n debt_n for_o original_a righteousness_n for_o they_o all_o have_v receive_v it_o in_o adam_n from_o god_n who_o give_v the_o same_o to_o he_o by_o his_o antecedent_n will_v give_v it_o likewiâ—e_n to_o all_o his_o posterity_n though_o it_o be_v not_o give_v by_o a_o consequent_a will_n quia_fw-la adam_fw-la posuit_fw-la demeritum_fw-la which_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o god_n do_v just_o exact_v the_o same_o of_o we_o and_o so_o we_o become_v in_o his_o debt_n in_o just_a and_o formal_o sinner_n in_o this_o all_o the_o ancient_a doctor_n do_v agree_v and_o although_o original_a sin_n convey_v to_o posterity_n can_v without_o special_a revelation_n be_v prove_v or_o evince_v by_o any_o natural_a ratiotination_n for_o how_o can_v it_o by_o human_a discourse_n be_v evidence_v that_o adam_n do_v receive_v fâ—r_o himself_o and_o his_o posterity_n the_o gift_n of_o original_a justice_n or_o that_o adam_n be_v appoint_v the_o great_a representative_a head_n in_o essâ—_z morali_fw-la of_o all_o human_a nature_n or_o that_o by_o he_o those_o principle_n of_o moral_o work_v well_o viz._n grace_n righteousness_n innocency_n etc._n etc._n shall_v be_v derive_v to_o his_o posterity_n and_o that_o as_o the_o propagation_n of_o human_a nature_n in_o esse_fw-la naturali_fw-la do_v depend_v of_o he_o so_o shall_v likewise_o the_o conservation_n or_o loss_n of_o that_o happy_a state_n in_o esse_fw-la morali_fw-la or_o how_o can_v it_o appear_v by_o natural_a reason_n that_o adam_n prevaricate_a all_o his_o posterity_n not_o exist_v in_fw-la rerum_fw-la natura_fw-la shall_v prevaricate_v also_o which_o without_o the_o light_n of_o faith_n and_o the_o belief_n of_o what_o be_v say_v can_v be_v apprehend_v yet_o we_o may_v find_v out_o for_o the_o explicate_n of_o original_a sin_n some_o congruent_a theological_a reason_n the_o first_o be_v that_o ever_o in_o god_n church_n from_o its_o very_a beginning_n there_o have_v be_v not_o only_o in_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n but_o also_o in_o the_o old_a and_o new_a a_o special_a remedy_n institute_v for_o the_o cleanse_n of_o original_a sin_n from_o infant_n so_o it_o be_v most_o manifest_a that_o the_o church_n hold_v and_o teach_v that_o infant_n do_v contract_v original_a sin_n for_o if_o they_o have_v not_o in_o they_o original_a â—n_n to_o be_v wash_v away_o by_o circumcision_n or_o baptism_n than_o the_o form_n of_o circumcision_n and_o baptism_n in_o they_o will_v prove_v false_a but_o the_o consequent_a be_v absurd_a and_o heretical_a ergo_fw-la etc._n etc._n now_o let_v we_o but_o further_o consider_v what_o reason_n may_v induce_v we_o to_o submit_v to_o this_o doctrine_n of_o original_a sin_n first_o for_o the_o antiquity_n of_o it_o we_o find_v some_o footstep_n thereof_o under_o the_o law_n yea_o before_o the_o law_n though_o more_o dark_o but_o under_o the_o law_n we_o may_v see_v the_o footstep_n thereof_o more_o manifest_a though_o not_o so_o perspicuous_a as_o under_o the_o gospel_n where_o truth_n appear_v as_o it_o be_v with_o open_a
