A27633	The true state of Gospel truth, established upon the free election of God in Christ the agreement, and yet difference between law and Gospel, so, that the Gospel cannot be stiled law : the inconditionateness of the Gospel salvation : the procedure of the day of judgment : in the way of a conciliatory discourse upon Mr. Williams his concessions / by T.

of_o the_o original_a constitution_n have_v upon_o it_o but_o we_o must_v yet_o further_o consider_v the_o relation_n this_o command_n of_o not_o eat_v the_o forbid_v fruit_n or_o the_o eat_v it_o have_v to_o the_o posterity_n of_o adam_n or_o to_o all_o in_o he_o for_o it_o be_v most_o plain_a from_o scripture_n adam_n by_o have_v keep_v the_o command_n of_o god_n in_o not_o eat_v the_o

undeniable_o argue_v from_o two_o thing_n 1._o he_o can_v not_o have_v covey_v sin_n and_o death_n if_o he_o have_v not_o be_v first_o appoint_v by_o god_n to_o convey_v holiness_n and_o life_n for_o he_o be_v ordain_v by_o god_n to_o be_v a_o common_a head_n else_o though_o the_o parent_n of_o the_o world_n he_o can_v not_o have_v be_v so_o he_o can_v not_o be_v ordain_v of_o god_n first_o a_o conveyer_n of_o evil_a that_o come_v in_o by_o his_o own_o sin_n god_n indeed_o in_o high_a justice_n as_o he_o continue_v the_o descent_n of_o mankind_n from_o he_o continues_z the_o sanction_n of_o conveyance_n of_o what_o he_o be_v and_o have_v which_o be_v righteousness_n and_o life_n as_o he_o be_v by_o god_n establish_v to_o convey_v when_o by_o his_o sin_n he_o have_v lose_v that_o both_o righteousness_n and_o life_n as_o god_n do_v not_o cut_v off_o that_o power_n of_o propagate_a the_o world_n give_v he_o in_o that_o first_o blessing_n of_o fruitfulness_n and_o multiplication_n so_o he_o do_v not_o reverse_v the_o sanction_n of_o his_o convey_n what_o he_o shall_v make_v himself_o a_o root_n and_o original_a of_o by_o the_o special_a ordination_n of_o god_n upon_o his_o obedience_n or_o disobedience_n in_o that_o one_o single_a act_n of_o eat_v or_o not_o eat_v have_v then_o by_o that_o act_n of_o disobedience_n plunge_v himself_o in_o sin_n and_o death_n he_o convey_v it_o with_o that_o derivation_n of_o humane_a nature_n from_o he_o to_o the_o very_a end_n of_o the_o world_n christ_n alone_o come_v into_o the_o world_n under_o a_o peculiar_a law_n of_o both_o generation_n and_o holiness_n of_o nature_n 2._o he_o can_v not_o have_v be_v a_o type_n of_o the_o he_o to_o come_v if_o he_o have_v not_o be_v appoint_v by_o god_n a_o conveyor_n of_o righteousness_n and_o life_n for_o christ_n be_v so_o alone_o after_o the_o transgression_n adam_n be_v a_o type_n of_o christ_n only_o in_o conveyance_n as_o a_o common_a head_n not_o as_o of_o sin_n and_o death_n for_o so_o he_o be_v a_o opposite_a to_o he_o who_o convey_v righteousness_n and_o life_n so_o therefore_o must_v adam_n needs_o be_v as_o from_o god_n that_o he_o may_v be_v a_o type_n the_o noble_a part_n of_o his_o be_v a_o type_n he_o lose_v by_o sin_n and_o be_v now_o become_v only_o a_o opposite_a type_n he_o convey_v but_o contrary_a to_o christ_n not_o righteousness_n and_o life_n but_o sin_n and_o death_n and_o so_o he_o beget_v seth_n not_o in_o the_o image_n of_o god_n who_o be_v christ_n but_o in_o his_o own_o image_n gen._n 5._o 3._o but_o thus_o in_o every_o thing_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v the_o scripture_n foresee_v god_n will_v do_v all_o he_o do_v in_o eternal_a grace_n and_o love_n by_o jesus_n christ_n preach_v before_o the_o gospel_n to_o adam_n in_o that_o tree_n the_o symbol_n of_o remove_v he_o from_o the_o thought_n of_o be_v a_o god_n to_o himself_o in_o the_o dominion_n over_o good_a and_o evil_a call_v the_o knowledge_n of_o it_o according_a to_o the_o great_a importance_n of_o the_o word_n know_v in_o scripture_n but_o that_o he_o shall_v trust_v in_o he_o shadow_v to_o he_o by_o the_o tree_n of_o life_n again_o he_o preach_v the_o gospel_n to_o he_o by_o make_v he_o a_o type_n of_o one_o to_o come_v as_o a_o second_o adam_n by_o way_n of_o appearance_n but_o he_o be_v before_o he_o for_o he_o be_v before_o all_o thing_n as_o the_o eternal_a word_n to_o be_v make_v man_n and_o by_o he_o they_o all_o consist_v so_o the_o first_o man_n be_v to_o be_v a_o adam_n or_o universal_a original_a of_o righteousness_n and_o
