original_a pollution_n and_o by_o his_o philosophy_n we_o must_v also_o quit_v many_o fundamental_a point_n in_o our_o christian_a say_v it_o be_v enough_o that_o the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o it_o and_o that_o purposely_o do_v call_v it_o sin_n as_o psal_n 51._o this_o chapter_n of_o roman_n and_o chap._n 7._o often_o it_o be_v the_o law_n of_o sin_n work_v in_o we_o so_o that_o this_o want_n of_o god_n image_n and_o a_o inclination_n to_o evil_n be_v not_o to_o be_v consider_v as_o a_o mere_a punishment_n or_o as_o a_o spiritual_a disease_n and_o weakness_n upon_o nature_n but_o no_o sin_n at_o all_o for_o it_o be_v as_o true_o a_o sin_n as_o a_o actual_a sin_n yea_o in_o some_o respect_n it_o be_v a_o more_o grievous_a and_o heavy_a sin_n than_o actual_a sin_n as_o be_v to_o be_v

a_o sin_n because_o thereby_o a_o man_n be_v make_v obnoxious_a to_o death_n and_o eternal_a condemnation_n the_o wage_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n and_o by_o nature_n we_o be_v child_n of_o wrath_n if_o then_o for_o this_o inherent_a corruption_n we_o die_v we_o be_v subject_a to_o misery_n to_o god_n wrath_n and_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n than_o it_o must_v necessary_o follow_v that_o this_o be_v true_o and_o proper_o a_o sin_n argum._n 3._o that_o which_o be_v make_v opposite_a to_o righteousness_n that_o be_v true_o and_o proper_o sin_n for_o not_o punishment_n and_o righteousness_n but_o sin_n and_o righteousness_n be_v two_o immediate_a contrary_n now_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o this_o inherent_a corruption_n make_v we_o sinner_n so_o that_o we_o need_v to_o be_v make_v righteous_a by_o christ_n argum._n 4._o the_o apostle_n distinguish_v adam_n be_v impute_v sin_n and_o inherent_a sin_n as_o two_o sin_n and_o so_o they_o have_v a_o twofold_a distinct_a guilt_n as_o be_v to_o be_v show_v though_o some_o think_v it_o hard_o to_o say_v so_o thus_o the_o apostle_n by_o one_o man_n offence_n sin_n enter_v into_o the_o world_n therefore_o adam_n actual_a sin_n and_o that_o sin_n which_o enter_v thereby_o be_v two_o distinct_a sin_n and_o differ_v as_o the_o cause_n and_o the_o effect_n by_o impute_a sin_n we_o be_v say_v to_o sin_n in_o he_o actual_o as_o it_o be_v because_o his_o will_n be_v our_o will_n but_o by_o inherent_a sin_n we_o be_v make_v sinner_n by_o intrinsical_v pollution_n argum._n 5._o this_o original_n inherent_a sin_n be_v true_o and_o proper_o a_o sin_n because_o it_o be_v to_o be_v mortify_v to_o be_v crucify_v we_o be_v to_o subdue_v the_o reign_n of_o it_o in_o our_o heart_n which_o can_v not_o be_v if_o it_o be_v not_o proper_o a_o sin_n argum._n 6._o it_o be_v a_o true_a and_o proper_a sin_n because_o by_o this_o our_o person_n be_v make_v unclean_a so_o that_o natural_o we_o can_v please_v god_n we_o be_v corrupt_a

compare_v original_a sin_n to_o a_o woman_n like_o that_o whore_n in_o the_o proverb_n allure_a and_o entice_a man_n to_o sin_n or_o as_o adam_n be_v at_o first_o tempt_v to_o sin_n by_o eve_n so_o still_o we_o be_v draw_v aside_o to_o sin_n by_o this_o original_a corruption_n which_o be_v like_o a_o eve_n or_o like_o a_o daeliah_n and_o a_o joseph_n mistress_n importunate_o solicit_v of_o we_o to_o what_o be_v evil_a and_o as_o with_o the_o woman_n there_o be_v pleasure_n in_o conception_n but_o pang_n and_o sorrow_n in_o bring_v forth_o so_o it_o be_v with_o sin_n while_o we_o do_v at_o

therefore_o observe_v the_o several_a step_n and_o degree_n of_o sin_n before_o it_o come_v to_o be_v consummate_v 1._o there_o be_v the_o mother_n or_o root_n of_o all_o and_o that_o be_v call_v

more_o than_o some_o other_o have_v likewise_o explain_v it_o which_o say_v it_o be_v to_o be_v obnoxious_a to_o the_o eternal_a wrath_n of_o god_n this_o way_n go_v piphius_n catharinus_n and_o sal●●ero●s_n incline_v much_o that_o way_n though_o in_o some_o thing_n different_a yea_o arminius_n and_o the_o remonstrant_n they_o conceive_v that_o to_o be_v a_o sinner_n by_o adam_n

than_o second_o they_o affirm_v that_o this_o be_v all_o the_o original_a sin_n we_o have_v they_o grant_v that_o by_o this_o there_o be_v a_o reatus_fw-la a_o guilt_n upon_o all_o but_o not_o any_o

there_o be_v these_o reason_n to_o evince_v it_o first_o that_o it_o be_v more_o than_o guilt_n or_o a_o obnoxious_a condition_n to_o eternal_a wrath_n because_o the_o apostle_n have_v speak_v of_o

the_o justice_n of_o god_n will_v not_o be_v so_o manifest_a in_o condemn_v of_o we_o it_o be_v true_a we_o must_v not_o separate_v or_o disjoin_a this_o inherent_a sin_n from_o that_o impute_a sin_n yet_o we_o must_v not_o confound_v they_o or_o make_v impute_v sin_n all_o the_o sin_n we_o have_v by_o nature_n the_o apostle_n therefore_o do_v in_o this_o text_n give_v a_o reason_n of_o that_o condemnation_n which_o have_v pass_v on_o all_o because_o there_o be_v sin_n inward_o adhere_v to_o all_o second_o to_o be_v a_o sinner_n be_v more_o than_o to_o be_v only_o guilty_a because_o as_o you_o hear_v of_o the_o opposition_n make_v between_o the_o first_o adam_n and_o christ_n now_o the_o righteousness_n that_o we_o be_v invest_v with_o by_o christ_n be_v true_o and_o proper_o a_o

be_v more_o than_o to_o destroy_v all_o mankind_n as_o we_o see_v among_o man_n it_o be_v easy_a to_o destroy_v a_o thing_n then_o to_o build_v it_o up_o one_o man_n may_v kill_v many_o man_n but_o

be_v the_o obedience_n of_o god_n and_o man_n now_o though_o this_o answer_n may_v in_o a_o good_a explain_v sense_n be_v receive_v yet_o i_o shall_v not_o so_o much_o avouch_v it_o partly_o because_o the_o distinction_n be_v make_v use_n of_o to_o a_o far_a other_o end_n than_o the_o orthodox_n do_v intend_v and_o then_o partly_o because_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o here_o attend_v in_o his_o

grace_n of_o christ_n appear_v not_o only_o to_o the_o abolition_n of_o that_o but_o also_o all_o offence_n that_o do_v actual_o flow_v from_o it_o thus_o every_o godly_a soul_n may_v comfortable_o
