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

god_n so_o that_o as_o in_o and_o by_o christ_n there_o be_v a_o impute_a righteousness_n which_o be_v that_o proper_o that_o justify_v and_o as_o the_o effect_n of_o this_o we_o have_v also_o a_o inherent_a righteousness_n which_o in_o heaven_n will_v be_v complete_v and_o perfect_v thus_o by_o adam_n we_o have_v impute_v sin_n with_o the_o guilt_n of_o it_o and_o inherent_a sin_n the_o effect_n of_o it_o three_o if_o this_o shall_v be_v grant_v that_o we_o be_v only_o guilty_a by_o adam_n transgression_n and_o not_o inherent_o sinful_a than_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o we_o have_v

we_o must_v therefore_o necessary_o conclude_v that_o original_a sin_n be_v more_o than_o guilt_n it_o denote_v also_o a_o inward_a contagion_n and_o defilement_n of_o soul_n sect_n iv._o in_o the_o

either_o for_o the_o propagate_a of_o the_o species_n or_o conservation_n of_o the_o individuum_n second_o this_o interpretation_n be_v against_o the_o scope_n of_o david_n in_o this_o psalm_n which_o be_v to_o debase_v himself_o to_o humble_v himself_o from_o what_o be_v in_o he_o not_o what_o be_v in_o other_o i_o will_v acknowledge_v my_o sin_n and_o my_o iniquity_n be_v always_o before_o i_o

that_o which_o yet_o be_v of_o god_n appointment_n and_o if_o true_a will_v necessary_o condemn_v marriage_n as_o unlawful_a so_o that_o as_o he_o observe_v the_o word_n do_v proper_o relate_v to_o

the_o apostle_n have_v strict_o charge_v that_o woman_n shall_v not_o usurp_v authority_n over_o the_o man_n for_o two_o reason_n 1._o from_o the_o primitive_a creation_n even_o before_o sin_n adam_n

have_v be_v without_o that_o difficulty_n and_o reluctancy_n which_o sin_n have_v now_o bring_v upon_o mankind_n the_o other_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o woman_n be_v first_o in_o the_o

in_o childbearing_n to_o this_o it_o be_v easy_o answer_v that_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o speak_v of_o the_o meritorious_a cause_n of_o salvation_n which_o be_v christ_n for_o in_o he_o all_o
