of_o a_o resurrection_n for_o the_o thought_n of_o a_o resurrection_n can_v never_o be_v sufficient_a to_o fortify_v our_o mind_n against_o the_o fear_n of_o death_n if_o after_o we_o be_v rise_v

when_o the_o soul_n that_o live_v in_o these_o body_n be_v a_o immortal_a principle_n now_o and_o do_v not_o lose_v its_o life_n by_o be_v separate_v from_o the_o body_n but_o do_v continue_v to_o

yet_o the_o man_n that_o consist_v of_o a_o body_n and_o a_o soul_n do_v and_o the_o life_n that_o the_o soul_n live_v be_v not_o that_o life_n which_o a_o man_n by_o die_v lose_v for_o though_o the_o

we_o date_n our_o life_n from_o the_o time_n we_o come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o reckon_v that_o we_o have_v live_v through_o so_o many_o age_n of_o our_o infancy_n our_o childhood_n our_o youth_n

and_o sorrow_n for_o it_o be_v soon_o cut_v off_o and_o we_o flee_v away_o psal_n 90.10_o but_o when_o the_o resurrection_n give_v we_o life_n again_o than_o it_o be_v that_o we_o shall_v in_o the_o

12._o i.e._n all_o man_n die_v as_o well_o as_o adam_n because_o all_o have_v sin_v as_o well_o as_o he_o for_o until_o the_o law_n sin_n be_v in_o the_o world_n and_o again_o death_n reign_v from_o

die_v though_o they_o do_v not_o transgress_v a_o positive_a law_n as_o adam_n do_v but_o only_o sin_v against_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n but_o if_o we_o look_v a_o little_a narrow_o into_o the_o

his_o design_n be_v to_o prove_v that_o the_o sin_n and_o judgement_n that_o pass_v upon_o adam_n do_v reach_v to_o all_o man_n for_o what_o account_n else_o shall_v we_o give_v say_v he_o of_o the_o

not_o under_o any_o law_n that_o threaten_v they_o with_o death_n if_o they_o sin_v and_o therefore_o since_o they_o die_v it_o can_v be_v by_o virtue_n of_o no_o other_o law_n but_o that_o by_o which_o adam_n be_v judge_v and_o condemn_v he_o do_v say_v indeed_o that_o death_n pass_v upon_o all_o man_n for_o that_o all_o have_v sin_v yet_o sin_n be_v not_o impute_v where_o there_o be_v no_o

that_o be_v pass_v upon_o he_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o all_o man_n die_v but_o we_o be_v not_o to_o think_v that_o man_n die_v only_o for_o adam_n sin_n in_o such_o a_o sense_n as_o if_o themselves_o be_v not_o sinner_n for_o though_o all_o have_v sin_v yet_o all_o die_v because_o of_o adam_n sin_n obj._n but_o if_o this_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o apostle_n how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o he_o tell_v we_o afterward_o that_o the_o free_a gift_n be_v of_o many_o offence_n unto_o justification_n ans_fw-fr to_o which_o i_o reply_v that_o though_o by_o the_o undertake_n

many_o error_n and_o mistake_v yet_o it_o be_v plain_a from_o what_o he_o discourse_v before_o that_o it_o be_v adam_n offence_n alone_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o we_o die_v because_o it_o be_v for_o
