of_o flaccius_n illyricus_n who_o because_o the_o scripture_n use_v such_o concrete_a and_o substantive_a term_n about_o original_a sin_n call_v it_o a_o man_n a_o body_n therefore_o he_o err_v in_o

this_o more_o when_o we_o come_v to_o search_v out_o the_o nature_n of_o it_o only_o you_o must_v know_v that_o original_a sin_n be_v not_o the_o substance_n of_o a_o man_n but_o a_o universal_a

touch_v one_o part_n of_o the_o body_n but_o it_o be_v infect_v so_o neither_o can_v we_o name_v one_o part_n of_o the_o soul_n but_o it_o be_v pollute_v we_o must_v therefore_o distinguish_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

because_o he_o be_v not_o affect_v with_o the_o full_a and_o exact_a obligation_n thereof_o the_o second_o thing_n much_o insist_v upon_o be_v that_o the_o person_n here_o speak_v of_o be_v say_v to_o
