into_o this_o heavy_a punishment_n for_o our_o transgression_n in_o adam_n viz._n we_o be_v taint_v with_o original_a sin_n this_o original_a sin_n be_v a_o corruption_n of_o the_o power_n of_o the_o

so_o we_o be_v come_v of_o adam_n as_o the_o root_n of_o all_o mankind_n original_o be_v guilty_a of_o his_o transgression_n because_o that_o in_o he_o and_o by_o he_o by_o reason_n of_o our_o union_n with_o he_o see_v have_v all_o sin_v 2_o objection_n the_o soul_n be_v new_o create_v and_o come_v immediate_o from_o god_n who_o be_v perfect_o righteous_a and_o so_o the_o soul_n can_v be_v
