A45121	Animadversions, being the two last books of my reverend brother Mr. Williams the one entituled A postscript to Gospel-truth, the other An end of discord : conscientiously examined, in order to a free entertainment of the truth, in some momentous points in divinity, controverted among the nonconformist brethen, occasionally here determined, for the sake of those honest among us that seek it, without trick or partiality / by John Humfrey ...

if_o this_o be_v so_o here_o be_v a_o difficulty_n arise_v we_o be_v punish_v and_o that_o with_o death_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o another_o how_o can_v that_o be_v just_a and_o if_o god_n may_v punish_v we_o with_o temporal_a death_n for_o adam_n sin_n he_o may_v with_o eternal_a i_o answer_v therefore_o that_o though_o death_n inflict_v on_o adam_n for_o his_o sin_n be_v indeed_o a_o punishment_n on_o he_o yet_o be_v death_n in_o itself_o no_o punishment_n on_o we_o adam_n be_v make_v of_o the_o earth_n mortal_a as_o we_o but_o he_o be_v put_v into_o the_o garden_n where_o be_v the_o tree_n of_o life_n whereof_o so_o long_o as_o he_o may_v eat_v it_o will_v save_v his_o life_n but_o upon_o his_o sin_n god_n exclude_v he_o from_o it_o and_o have_v not_o the_o free_a to_o

have_v the_o tree_n to_o eat_v on_o and_o can_v be_v punish_v by_o the_o exclusion_n from_o what_o we_o never_o have_v but_o according_a to_o nature_n we_o be_v mortal_a and_o of_o course_n appoint_v to_o die_v our_o death_n as_o natural_a be_v neither_o good_a nor_o evil_a in_o itself_o but_o in_o regard_n to_o what_o follow_v it_o that_o be_v the_o reward_n to_o come_v according_a as_o out_o life_n have_v be_v in_o the_o world_n and_o if_o good_a it_o be_v but_o a_o gate_n to_o blessedness_n after_o this_o you_o may_v ask_v what_o think_v you_o then_o of_o the_o more_o common_a doctrine_n that_o it_o be_v not_o as_o we_o be_v in_o adam_n loin_n but_o as_o we_o be_v in_o adam_n covenant_n that_o we_o sin_v in_o he_o and_o so_o be_v liable_a to_o the_o same_o punishment_n i_o answer_v beside_o that_o it_o can_v never_o be_v prove_v that_o those_o word_n in_o the_o day_n thou_o eat_v thereof_o be_v say_v to_o you_o or_o i_o when_o they_o be_v say_v to_o adam_n this_o assertion_n be_v too_o grievous_a for_o my_o embrace_n because_o it_o make_v the_o constitution_n only_o of_o god_n that_o be_v his_o will_n alone_o without_o any_o of_o the_o sinner_n to_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o man_n damnation_n i_o will_v yet_o not_o leave_v but_o see_v i_o be_o fall_v on_o the_o point_n i_o will_v consider_v what_o original_a sini●_n be_v that_o i_o own_o there_o be_v three_o thing_n according_a to_o the_o common_a doctrine_n wherein_o original_a sin_n consist_v the_o want_n of_o original_a righteousness_n adam_n first_o guilt_n and_o the_o corruption_n of_o our_o nature_n from_o whence_o actual_a transgression_n proceed_v for_o the_o second_o i_o have_v speak_v to_o for_o the_o first_o the_o school_n have_v conceive_v that_o adam_n be_v endow_v with_o a_o supernatural_a grace_n beside_o his_o natural_a righteous_a constitution_n which_o by_o his_o fall_n he_o lose_v and_o so_o we_o but_o our_o natural_n and_o freewill_n remain_v now_o i_o believe_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o that_o adam_n have_v any_o righteousness_n or_o grace_n supernatural_a but_o only_a nature_n entire_a for_o grace_n be_v indeed_o a_o medicinal_a thing_n or_o auxiliatory_a for_o fall_v nature_n which_o adam_n need_v not_o and_o there_o can_v be_v no_o loss_n of_o that_o which_o never_o be_v if_o by_o original_a righteousness_n the_o integrity_n of_o adam_n nature_n be_v mean_v only_o the_o want_n or_o loss_n of_o this_o be_v include_v in_o the_o three_o as_o for_o which_o i_o believe_v that_o adam_n fall_v deprave_a his_o nature_n and_o be_v deprave_v himself_o he_o beget_v child_n with_o this_o corruption_n in_o their_o nature_n the_o mind_n and_o will_n be_v infect_v with_o ignorance_n and_o disobedience_n the_o ataxy_n in_o his_o faculty_n upon_o his_o fall_n be_v
