so_o what_o be_v want_v in_o their_o former_a estate_n may_v be_v supply_v by_o they_o in_o their_o follow_v one_o for_o as_o it_o be_v not_o easy_a to_o suppose_v that_o the_o corruptible_a body_n shall_v so_o far_o stupefie_v the_o soul_n as_o to_o hinder_v it_o from_o emerge_v in_o time_n out_o of_o sleep_n in_o which_o it_o may_v seem_v to_o have_v be_v cast_v and_o according_o from_o calling_n to_o mind_n what_o have_v be_v before_o transact_v within_o it_o because_o though_o the_o body_n may_v be_v some_o hindrance_n to_o the_o faculty_n of_o the_o soul_n yet_o it_o do_v not_o hinder_v they_o from_o come_v in_o time_n to_o exert_v their_o proper_a operation_n so_o it_o be_v much_o less_o easy_a to_o suppose_v that_o god_n shall_v not_o however_o bring_v to_o its_o memory_n its_o past_a state_n and_o action_n by_o which_o it_o offend_v against_o he_o partly_o to_o make_v it_o sensible_a of_o its_o former_a guilt_n and_o god_n choose_v to_o punish_v it_o by_o thrust_v it_o into_o a_o body_n and_o partly_o to_o make_v it_o so_o much_o the_o more_o careful_a to_o break_v off_o from_o those_o sin_n by_o which_o it_o have_v before_o offend_v he_o these_o as_o they_o be_v the_o only_a imaginable_a end_n why_o god_n shall_v thrust_v a_o offend_a soul_n into_o such_o a_o body_n so_o be_v perfect_o lose_v to_o that_o soul_n in_o which_o there_o be_v no_o consciousness_n of_o its_o former_a state_n and_o of_o those_o enormity_n which_o be_v contract_v in_o it_o i_o conclude_v therefore_o that_o whatever_o may_v be_v say_v as_o to_o this_o particular_a concern_v original_a sin_n yet_o it_o do_v not_o take_v its_o rise_n from_o the_o evil_a act_n or_o habit_n of_o the_o soul_n in_o any_o praexistent_a estate_n and_o nothing_o therefore_o leave_v to_o we_o to_o resolve_v it_o into_o but_o the_o depravedness_n of_o those_o from_o who_o we_o all_o descend_v and_o from_o who_o it_o be_v transmit_v to_o particular_a soul_n and_o person_n i_o deny_v not_o indeed_o that_o even_o this_o account_n be_v not_o without_o its_o difficulty_n and_o such_o as_o it_o will_v be_v hard_a if_o not_o impossible_a perfect_o to_o assoil_v i_o deny_v not_o far_o that_o those_o difficulty_n be_v much_o enhance_v by_o the_o ignorance_n we_o be_v under_o concern_v the_o original_a of_o humane_a soul_n and_o which_o whilst_o we_o continue_v under_o it_o will_v not_o be_v easy_a for_o we_o to_o show_v how_o that_o depravedness_n of_o nature_n shall_v pass_v from_o they_o to_o we_o but_o as_o those_o difficulty_n be_v no_o way_n comparable_a to_o the_o difficulty_n of_o two_o of_o the_o former_a even_o those_o which_o resolve_v original_a sin_n into_o the_o malignity_n of_o some_o evil_a spirit_n or_o the_o pravity_n of_o matter_n so_o they_o can_v much_o less_o be_v think_v to_o be_v of_o force_n against_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o scripture_n if_o that_o as_o i_o shall_v afterward_o show_v favour_v its_o arise_v from_o the_o pravity_n of_o our_o first_o parent_n partly_o because_o the_o thing_n in_o question_n be_v a_o matter_n of_o fact_n and_o therefore_o to_o be_v determine_v rather_o by_o testimony_n than_o the_o force_n of_o reason_n and_o partly_o because_o the_o testimony_n of_o scripture_n be_v the_o most_o authentic_a one_o as_o be_v no_o other_o than_o the_o testimony_n of_o god._n now_o that_o there_o want_v not_o sufficient_a evidence_n from_o thence_o that_o that_o original_a sin_n whereof_o we_o speak_v arise_v from_o the_o pravity_n of_o those_o from_o who_o we_o first_o descend_v will_v appear_v if_o these_o three_o thing_n can_v be_v make_v out_o first_o that_o the_o sin_n of_o all_o mankind_n enter_v in_o by_o adam_n second_o that_o it_o enter_v in_o by_o adam_n not_o mere_o as_o the_o first_o that_o commit_v it_o or_o tempt_v other_o man_n by_o his_o ill_a example_n to_o do_v the_o like_a but_o as_o more_o or_o less_o the_o cause_n of_o all_o their_o sin_n by_o his_o own_o three_o that_o he_o become_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o their_o sin_n through_o he_o by_o deprave_v thereby_o his_o own_o nature_n and_o then_o communicate_v that_o depravation_n to_o those_o that_o descend_v from_o he_o that_o the_o sin_n of_o all_o mankind_n enter_v in_o by_o adam_n will_v need_v no_o other_o proof_n than_o that_o know_a text_n of_o s._n paul_n 5.12_o paul_n rom._n 5.12_o even_o that_o by_o one_o man_n sin_n enter_v into_o the_o world_n and_o death_n by_o sin_n and_o so_o death_n pass_v through_o unto_o all_o man_n for_o that_o all_o have_v sin_v for_o as_o we_o can_v well_o interpret_v the_o word_n sin_n of_o any_o other_o than_o the_o sin_n of_o all_o man_n because_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o text_n to_o limit_v it_o to_o any_o particular_a man_n so_o much_o less_o when_o s._n paul_n do_v afterward_o affirm_v that_o that_o death_n which_o enter_v in_o by_o it_o pass_v through_o unto_o all_o man_n for_o that_o or_o because_o all_o have_v sin_v by_o the_o mean_n of_o he_o that_o as_o it_o make_v death_n to_o pass_v upon_o all_o man_n with_o respect_n to_o their_o several_a sin_n and_o consequent_o their_o several_a sin_n to_o be_v the_o immediate_a door_n by_o which_o it_o enter_v so_o make_v those_o several_a sin_n therefore_o to_o be_v include_v in_o that_o sin_n which_o he_o before_o affirm_v to_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o that_o death_n and_o together_o with_o it_o to_o have_v enter_v in_o by_o adam_n but_o because_o among_o those_o at_o least_o by_o who_o the_o scripture_n be_v acknowledge_v the_o question_n be_v not_o so_o much_o whether_o all_o sin_n enter_v by_o adam_n but_o after_o what_o manner_n it_o enter_v by_o he_o and_o because_o till_o that_o be_v know_v we_o can_v speak_v with_o any_o certainty_n concern_v the_o derivation_n of_o the_o corruptness_n of_o our_o nature_n from_o that_o of_o our_o first_o parent_n or_o parent_n therefore_o pass_v we_o on_o to_o show_v according_a to_o the_o method_n before_o lay_v down_o that_o as_o the_o sin_n of_o all_o mankind_n enter_v in_o by_o adam_n so_o it_o enter_v in_o by_o he_o not_o as_o some_o have_v vain_o deem_v mere_o as_o one_o who_o first_o commit_v it_o or_o tempt_v other_o by_o his_o example_n to_o do_v the_o like_a but_o as_o one_o also_o yea_o especial_o who_o by_o the_o malignant_a influence_n of_o his_o sin_n be_v more_o or_o less_o the_o cause_n of_o all_o those_o sin_n that_o follow_v it_o that_o the_o sin_n of_o all_o mankind_n enter_v not_o in_o by_o adam_n either_o mere_o or_o principal_o as_o one_o who_o first_o commit_v it_o will_v need_v no_o other_o proof_n than_o his_o being_n not_o the_o first_o committer_n of_o sin_n even_o in_o this_o sublunary_a world_n but_o that_o serpent_n who_o tempt_v our_o first_o parent_n to_o it_o for_o as_o he_o and_o his_o fellow_n angel_n sin_v before_o they_o in_o those_o glorious_a seat_n in_o which_o they_o be_v first_o bestow_v so_o he_o sin_v also_o before_o they_o here_o by_o that_o temptation_n which_o he_o suggest_v to_o they_o and_o without_o which_o they_o have_v not_o fall_v from_o their_o integrity_n which_o as_o it_o be_v a_o evidence_n of_o sin_n be_v not_o enter_v in_o by_o adam_n in_o that_o sense_n and_o consequent_o that_o that_o be_v not_o the_o sense_n intend_v by_o s._n paul_n so_o be_v the_o more_o to_o be_v consider_v because_o s._n john_n attribute_n this_o entrance_n of_o sin_n to_o the_o devil_n 3.8_o devil_n 1_o joh._n 3.8_o yea_o make_v all_o the_o committer_n of_o sin_n to_o be_v therefore_o of_o he_o but_o beside_o that_o adam_n be_v not_o the_o first_o of_o those_o that_o sin_v and_o we_o therefore_o not_o so_o to_o understand_v s._n paul_n when_o describe_v sin_n as_o enter_v by_o he_o neither_o be_v he_o the_o first_o of_o humane_a kind_n that_o sin_v which_o will_v be_v a_o yet_o far_o prejudice_n to_o the_o former_a surmise_n for_o as_o we_o learn_v from_o the_o story_n of_o the_o fall_n 3.6_o fall_n gen._n 3.6_o yea_o from_o this_o very_a apostle_n elsewhere_o 2.14_o elsewhere_o 1_o tim._n 2.14_o adam_n be_v not_o deceive_v that_o be_v to_o say_v be_v not_o the_o first_o that_o be_v so_o but_o the_o woman_n be_v deceive_v be_v in_o the_o transgression_n which_o what_o be_v it_o but_o to_o say_v that_o sin_n do_v not_o enter_v in_o by_o adam_n in_o that_o sense_n and_o consequent_o that_o that_o be_v not_o the_o sense_n intend_v
