must_v also_o well_o mind_n this_o truth_n in_o order_n to_o a_o further_a discovery_n of_o the_o union_n betwixt_o the_o sinner_n and_o the_o image_n of_o god_n viz_o that_o nothing_o can_v unite_v except_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v to_o be_v unite_v do_v meet_v to_o wit_n the_o uniter_fw-la and_o that_o which_o be_v unite_v so_o that_o we_o must_v here_o consider_v what_o manner_n of_o thing_n that_o must_v be_v which_o be_v to_o be_v unite_v with_o christ_n who_o be_v the_o image_n of_o god_n that_o sinner_n may_v thereby_o be_v restore_v unto_o the_o state_n of_o integrity_n again_o to_o wit_n to_o have_v fellowship_n again_o with_o god_n from_o who_o it_o have_v separate_v and_o estrange_v itself_o by_o sin_n §_o 77._o it_o be_v manifest_a from_o §_o 73._o that_o sinner_n can_v be_v again_o restore_v unto_o their_o former_a state_n of_o integrity_n except_o they_o obtain_v that_o which_o they_o lose_v now_o we_o do_v further_o say_v on_o the_o other_o side_n that_o that_o which_o

too_o glorious_a for_o man_n to_o receive_v than_o it_o can_v not_o be_v unite_v unto_o man_n but_o unto_o some_o thing_n else_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o christ_n can_v not_o be_v unite_v unto_o any_o thing_n else_o but_o unto_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n that_o he_o may_v restore_v man_n nature_n into_o its_o former_a state_n for_o have_v christ_n be_v unite_v with_o any_o thing_n

to_o prove_v according_a to_o §_o 75._o §_o 78._o now_o although_o it_o be_v clear_a from_o §_o 76._o that_o christ_n be_v to_o take_v upon_o he_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n that_o he_o may_v restore_v unto_o sinner_n the_o image_n of_o god_n yet_o be_v that_o not_o enough_o that_o christ_n shall_v only_o have_v take_v upon_o he_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n but_o it_o be_v also_o most_o necessary_a that_o christ_n shall_v take_v upon_o he_o the_o nature_n of_o such_o a_o man_n as_o of_o who_o all_o mankind_n do_v depend_v and_o from_o who_o all_o man_n do_v come_v or_o be_v descend_v because_o the_o nature_n of_o all_o thing_n teach_v we_o that_o the_o whole_a race_n of_o any_o thing_n can_v be_v meliorate_v except_o the_o source_n or_o root_n be_v amend_v from_o whence_o the_o whole_a
