a_o brief_a view_n of_o the_o state_n of_o mankind_n in_o the_o first_o adam_n and_o in_o the_o second_o adam_z be_v the_o sum_n of_o many_o large_a discourse_n upon_o that_o great_a context_n of_o the_o redemption_n and_o mediation_n of_o jesus_n christ_n rom._n 5._o 12._o to_o the_o end_n bianca_n t_o beverley_n rom._n c._n 5._o v._n 12._o to_o the_o end_n to_o you_o my_o honour_a and_o true_o love_v hearer_n i_o propose_v to_o present_v the_o mediatorship_n and_o redemption_n of_o jesus_n christ_n in_o this_o context_n in_o a_o summary_n view_v of_o each_o particular_a whereof_o i_o have_v discourse_v at_o large_a that_o you_o may_v have_v it_o always_o in_o remembrance_n now_o the_o apostle_n have_v in_o his_o forego_n discourse_v set_v out_o the_o absolute_a necessity_n all_o mankind_n have_v of_o a_o mediator_n of_o righteousness_n and_o acceptance_n with_o god_n to_o eternal_a life_n by_o way_n of_o reconciliation_n propitiation_n atonement_n and_o redemption_n to_o reprize_n and_o recover_v they_o for_o all_o have_v sin_v and_o fall_v short_a of_o that_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o be_v run_v into_o sin_n judgement_n death_n and_o condemnation_n so_o as_o to_o have_v their_o mouth_n stop_v and_o to_o become_v guilty_a before_o god_n he_o have_v with_o all_o express_v at_o large_a the_o absolute_o perfect_a and_o sufficient_a mediation_n of_o jesus_n christ_n to_o all_o those_o purpose_n of_o life_n and_o show_v that_o the_o best_a of_o man_n such_o as_o abraham_n and_o david_n have_v trust_v whole_o to_o it_o and_o upon_o good_a reason_n for_o therein_o conscience_n may_v forever_o sit_v down_o in_o peace_n with_o god_n and_o rest_n in_o hope_n of_o his_o glory_n and_o by_o no_o other_o way_n can_v they_o so_o do_v in_o this_o context_n he_o do_v both_o remove_v a_o objection_n incident_a to_o what_o he_o have_v say_v and_o exceed_o amplify_v the_o mediatorship_n of_o christ_n the_o objection_n he_o remove_v be_v that_o it_o may_v seem_v strange_a to_o be_v justify_v before_o god_n and_o accept_v with_o he_o by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o another_o to_o this_o the_o apostle_n supply_v a_o answer_n that_o it_o be_v always_o so_o intend_v by_o god_n to_o justify_v and_o accept_v (null)_o nature_n by_o a_o common_a head_n or_o mediator_n of_o it_o stand_v righteous_a before_o he_o while_o it_o be_v always_o to_o be_v understand_v that_o a_o inward_a real_a and_o inherent_a righteousness_n and_o active_a obedience_n shall_v be_v convey_v from_o the_o righteousness_n of_o that_o common_a head_n or_o mediator_n this_o the_o apostle_n prove_v by_o strong_a interweave_v assertion_n that_o adam_n be_v at_o first_o such_o a_o common_a head_n and_o mediator_n in_o who_o continuance_n to_o stand_v righteous_a before_o god_n this_o whole_a posterity_n of_o (null)_o nature_n shall_v have_v also_o stand_v righteous_a and_o in_o grace_n and_o favour_n with_o god_n and_o have_v maintain_v a_o inward_a righteousness_n and_o active_a obedience_n to_o he_o to_o eternal_a life_n and_o therefore_o when_o by_o sin_n he_o fall_v he_o become_v by_o the_o force_n of_o that_o constitution_n a_o unhappy_a mediator_n of_o sin_n judgement_n condemnation_n and_o death_n and_o also_o of_o inward_a vnrighteousness_n and_o disobedience_n to_o a_o innumerable_a train_n of_o actual_a transgression_n therefore_o it_o follow_v the_o conveyance_n of_o righteousness_n to_o justification_n and_o of_o the_o power_n of_o sanctification_n to_o the_o reign_n of_o and_o in_o eternal_a life_n by_o jesus_n christ_n be_v much_o strong_a than_o the_o conveyance_n of_o righteousness_n by_o adam_n as_o if_o he_o have_v stand_v be_v intend_v or_o of_o sin_n and_o death_n by_o his_o fall_n of_o which_o there_o be_v so_o long_a and_o sad_a experience_n but_o then_o further_o the_o apostle_n aggrandize_v and_o amplifie●_n the_o redemption_n headship_n and_o communication_n of_o christ_n above_o that_o of_o adam_n in_o that_o he_o call_v adam_n but_o a_o type_n or_o figure_n of_o he_o that_o be_v to_o come_v or_o more_o significant_o of_o he_o that_o be_v to_o be_v viz._n the_o common_a head_n or_o

recovery_n to_o (null)_o nature_n and_o that_o unchangeable_o and_o irreversable_o as_o therefore_o the_o antitype_n or_o person_n figure_v excel_v the_o type_n or_o person_n figure_v so_o christ_n excel_v adam_n as_o a_o head_n or_o mediator_n of_o righteousness_n and_o when_o adam_n come_v to_o be_v a_o head_n of_o sin_n and_o of_o apostasy_n the_o communication_n of_o life_n and_o righteousness_n from_o christ_n surmount_v not_o only_o in_o the_o quality_n and_o dignity_n of_o thing_n communicate_v viz._n of_o grace_n righteousness_n and_o life_n above_o sin_n wrath_n death_n and_o condemnation_n but_o in_o the_o abundancy_n and_o efficacy_n of_o the_o communication_n as_o be_v by_o the_o apostle_n most_o magnificent_o display_v both_o in_o the_o grand_a proposition_n v._o

be_v in_o he_o as_o all_o mankind_n be_v and_o be_v descend_o from_o adam_n else_o there_o can_v be_v no_o communication_n and_o yet_o though_o all_o man_n be_v universal_o none_o except_v in_o adam_n

ascend_v to_o some_o first_o father_n of_o mankind_n who_o will_v in_o the_o very_a nature_n of_o the_o thing_n be_v a_o trustee_n or_o common_a person_n for_o his_o posterity_n and_o when_o we_o
