hear_v by_o the_o word_n even_o that_o word_n which_o be_v in_o their_o mouth_n and_o in_o their_o heart_n therefore_o he_o add_v but_o i_o say_v have_v they_o not_o all_o hear_v yes_o very_o the_o

all_o without_o exception_n of_o any_o so_o that_o all_o among_o the_o gentile_n have_v hear_v this_o word_n both_o believer_n and_o unbeliever_n now_o as_o concern_v the_o believer_n it_o be_v

of_o the_o jew_n for_o of_o the_o gentile_n he_o say_v i_o be_v find_v of_o they_o that_o seek_v i_o not_o but_o to_o israel_n he_o say_v all_o the_o day_n long_o i_o have_v stretch_v out_o my_o

but_o in_o hypocrisy_n they_o be_v in_o their_o heart_n a_o gainsay_n and_o rebellious_a people_n whereas_o the_o gentile_n many_o of_o they_o have_v not_o such_o a_o show_n of_o external_a devotion_n and_o prayer_n but_o be_v more_o righteous_a in_o heart_n before_o the_o lord_n and_o so_o do_v more_o ready_o find_v he_o and_o know_v he_o yea_o and_o do_v more_o ready_o receive_v the_o testimony_n of_o truth_n as_o it_o be_v outward_o publish_v by_o the_o apostle_n than_o do_v the_o jew_n notwithstanding_o all_o their_o great_a profession_n oh_o that_o the_o late_a professor_n can_v read_v their_o figure_n in_o this_o at_o this_o day_n some_o may_v object_v that_o it_o be_v say_v there_o be_v no_o difference_n betwixt_o jew_n and_o gentile_n but_o the_o same_o lord_n be_v rich_a unto_o all_o that_o call_v upon_o he_o which_o will_v seem_v to_o import_v that_o such_o a_o rich_a mercy_n as_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n be_v only_o give_v to_o believer_n and_o they_o that_o call_v on_o his_o name_n as_o it_o be_v else_o where_o say_v he_o give_v grace_n to_o the_o humble_a whereas_o we_o say_v he_o give_v grace_n unto_o all_o to_o which_o i_o answer_v these_o scripture_n do_v not_o import_v that_o he_o give_v not_o grace_n to_o all_o but_o only_o that_o he_o give_v more_o grace_n unto_o they_o who_o believe_v and_o true_o call_v upon_o he_o and_o be_v humble_a even_o to_o

that_o they_o may_v become_v believer_n and_o true_a and_o humble_a seeker_n of_o he_o as_o many_o have_v become_v such_o who_o be_v as_o bad_a as_o any_o but_o who_o do_v resist_v the_o lord_n and_o the_o grace_n offer_v and_o continue_v so_o do_v till_o the_o day_n of_o their_o visitation_n pass_v over_o they_o the_o lord_n cease_v any_o more_o gracious_o to_o visit_v and_o he_o cause_v the_o

that_o ability_n have_v be_v give_v unto_o every_o man_n both_o to_o know_v and_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n but_o they_o by_o their_o sin_n have_v lose_v it_o and_o so_o it_o be_v righteous_a with_o the_o lord_n now_o to_o require_v obedience_n of_o they_o though_o they_o can_v perform_v it_o because_o they_o once_o have_v it_o and_o their_o play_v the_o prodigal_a with_o it_o diminish_v not_o the_o lord_n right_a of_o exact_v it_o from_o they_o still_o answ._n but_o of_o these_o man_n we_o ask_v when_o or_o how_o be_v this_o power_n &_o ability_n give_v to_o all_o man_n how_o and_o when_o do_v they_o loose_v it_o if_o they_o say_v in_o adam_n i_o reply_v that_o this_o be_v but_o a_o deceitful_a mist_n cast_v before_o man_n eye_n to_o blind_v they_o from_o see_v the_o truth_n

plain_o appear_v i_o shall_v first_o premise_v some_o thing_n first_o i_o grant_v adam_n have_v when_o god_n make_v he_o a_o ability_n or_o power_n give_v he_o in_o a_o divine_a principle_n of_o light_n and_o life_n both_o to_o know_v and_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n second_o that_o adam_n by_o his_o fall_n come_v to_o loose_v this_o ability_n by_o lose_v the_o divine_a principle_n in_o which_o the_o ability_n stand_v which_o though_o he_o lose_v yet_o it_o remain_v in_o his_o own_o house_n but_o the_o light_n and_o life_n thereof_o become_v though_o the_o prevalency_n of_o the_o

live_v which_o he_o be_v no_o way_n oblige_v to_o do_v but_o may_v of_o adam_n have_v require_v obedience_n even_o after_o this_o loss_n because_o it_o be_v the_o fruit_n and_o consequent_a of_o his_o own_o personal_a disobedience_n three_o be_v also_o true_a this_o loss_n be_v descend_v upon_o all_o adam_n posterity_n so_o that_o as_o they_o come_v from_o he_o they_o be_v impotent_a and_o unable_a from_o any_o principle_n convey_v from_o he_o either_o to_o know_v or_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o the_o image_n of_o god_n lie_v slay_v and_o lose_v in_o they_o but_o i_o deny_v that_o this_o loss_n be_v by_o god_n impute_v unto_o adam_n posterity_n before_o their_o own_o actual_a or_o personal_a transgression_n for_o they_o bring_v not_o this_o loss_n upon_o themselves_o they_o have_v then_o no_o personal_a be_v but_o adam_n bring_v it_o upon_o they_o object_n if_o they_o say_v they_o bring_v it_o upon_o themselves_o because_o be_v in_o adam_n they_o sin_v though_o not_o personal_o and_o actual_o when_o he_o sin_v and_o so_o his_o sin_n be_v their_o sin_n answ._n i_o reply_v that_o all_o man_n be_v in_o adam_n when_o he_o sin_v this_o import_v no_o more_o then_o that_o adam_n be_v the_o stock_n or_o root_n of_o all_o mankind_n but_o not_o that_o all_o man_n have_v a_o personal_a existence_n in_o adam_n therefore_o i_o deny_v that_o they_o can_v be_v say_v to_o have_v sin_v in_o adam_n that_o be_v to_o say_v as_o the_o word_n adam_n signify_v the_o first_o man_n that_o be_v make_v upon_o the_o earth_n and_o there_o be_v no_o ground_n for_o it_o in_o scripture_n it_o be_v therefore_o a_o mere_a deceitful_a figment_n invent_v to_o blind_v the_o mind_n of_o people_n from_o the_o truth_n for_o the_o scripture_n testimony_n be_v plain_a that_o every_o man_n shall_v give_v a_o account_n to_o god_n for_o the_o thing_n do_v by_o himself_o personal_o and_o that_o the_o iniquity_n of_o the_o father_n shall_v not_o be_v impute_v to_o the_o child_n unless_o they_o follow_v their_o example_n by_o actual_a transgression_n object_n but_o say_v they_o as_o levi_n pay_v tithe_n to_o melchisedech_n in_o abraham_n so_o do_v adam_n son_n and_o daughter_n sin_n in_o he_o answ._n i_o deny_v the_o consequence_n and_o if_o this_o argument_n do_v any_o thing_n it_o overdo_v and_o prove_v against_o themselves_o that_o child_n be_v guilty_a of_o all_o the_o sin_n not_o only_o of_o adam_n but_o of_o all_o their_o forefather_n whereas_o themselves_o say_v they_o be_v not_o guilty_a of_o any_o but_o adam_n first_o sin_n only_o they_o must_v needs_o then_o say_v that_o infant_n be_v not_o guilty_a of_o sin_n mere_o &_o simple_o because_o descend_v from_o adam_n but_o because_o of_o some_o special_a covenant_n or_o transaction_n which_o god_n make_v with_o adam_n and_o with_o all_o his_o posterity_n in_o he_o by_o reason_n of_o which_o his_o sin_n shall_v be_v their_o sin_n even_o before_o their_o own_o actual_a transgression_n but_o let_v they_o prove_v this_o if_o they_o can_v for_o we_o deny_v it_o as_o another_o figment_n of_o the_o same_o calibre_fw-fr with_o the_o former_a not_o that_o we_o deny_v that_o there_o be_v a_o covenant_n &_o transaction_n make_v &_o that_o when_o adam_n sin_v his_o child_n thereby_o suffer_v a_o great_a loss_n so_o as_o to_o come_v dead_a into_o the_o world_n as_o to_o spiritual_a life_n and_o to_o have_v a_o seed_n of_o all_o sin_n and_o evil_n transmit_v unto_o they_o from_o he_o but_o this_o i_o say_v can_v be_v impute_v unto_o they_o as_o if_o they_o have_v lose_v it_o or_o bring_v it_o upon_o themselves_o or_o be_v the_o punishment_n of_o their_o sin_n no_o that_o be_v false_a it_o be_v the_o punishment_n and_o consequent_a of_o adam_n sin_n only_o and_o as_o to_o these_o word_n levi_n pay_v tithe_n in_o

to_o adam_n or_o that_o it_o be_v guilty_a adam_n bring_v this_o loss_n upon_o his_o child_n nor_o be_v it_o unrighteous_a in_o god_n to_o suffer_v he_o so_o to_o do_v though_o they_o be_v guiltless_a of_o it_o just_o as_o if_o adam_n shall_v have_v lay_v violent_a hand_n upon_o any_o of_o his_o child_n or_o any_o man_n now_o shall_v do_v the_o like_a it_o be_v no_o unrighteousness_n in_o god_n to_o suffer_v such_o a_o thing_n and_o yet_o this_o murder_n can_v be_v impute_v to_o the_o poor_a child_n as_o if_o they_o be_v guilty_a of_o it_o and_o indeed_o just_a thus_o it_o be_v adam_n as_o it_o may_v be_v say_v do_v by_o his_o sin_n murder_v his_o child_n for_o have_v he_o not_o sin_v his_o posterity_n shall_v not_o have_v come_v into_o the_o world_n with_o a_o dead_a image_n and_o
