That
redemption
by
aril
is,:
of
vninerfall.
29
by Chrifl,
for
then
the
fenfe
is
thus much
;
as
aAdam
deriued
death
vnto
all
his,
by naturall'propagation,
fo
Chriíi
bath
deriued
life
to
all
his
by
grace: and
this appeareth
in
the
verfe
following, where
he
faith,
that
firfl
Chrifl rofe,
and
after-
wards they
that
are
of
Chrifl
(hall
rife
at his
comming
:
now
theyonely
are
Chrifis who
are
led by
his
fpirit,and therefore
they who
haue
not their
part in the
firfl
reiirreaion,
where
-
by being
fan6lified
they
rife
againe, from the death
of
finne
to
newneflèe
of
life, (hall
not
haue
their part
of
the
f.cond
re-
furre6lion,
whereby they
rife
to inherit
thofe ioyes which
Chrift hath
purchafed for
them.
But
it maybe
further
vrged,that ifall
doe
not
liue in
Chrift
who
died
in
Adams
4dams
finne
(hall be
ofmore
force
than
Chrifis death
and
fatisfa&ion
,
and
.Adam'fhall
be
more
flrong to
deflroy
than Chrifl to
faue.
I
anfwere,that their
po-
wer and flrength
is
not
to
bee meafured
by
the
number
of
thofe
ivho
are
defiroyed and
faued
;
but
according to
the
manner whereby
they were defiroyed and faued, or
accor-
ding
to
the vertue and force
required to
fauing and
deflroy-
ing;
for
it
is
fare
more
eafie
to hurt
many
than to
helpe a
few,
to
kill
a
multitude
thanto
reflorc one
to
life;
for
euen
brúitebeafis
can kill
and defiroy,
but
neith,,er
man,
Angell,
nor other
creature
can giue
life faue
God
alone
;
and
fo
it
was
no hard matter for
Adam
to
plunge
all
mankinde
into
the
gulfe
of
perdition, but
to
faue
and deliuer
vs
out
of
this
wretched eflate, neither
bee
nor
any
other
could performe
faue
Chrifi
alone: and
therfore
though
our Sauiour
had
freed
and
rellored
to
life
but
only one,and
e,Idambyhis
finne
de-
firoyed
all,yet Chrifis
death
was
fironger and
ofmore
vertue
infauing,than
Adams finne in
defiroying.Secondly,I
anf
ver,
that
Chrifis
"death
is
as
fufficient
for
the redemption
of
all
the
world,as
2dams
finne
for
their condemnation,in
refpe6t
of
the
infinite value and price
thereof;
if,as
.z4darn.c
finne
was
dcriued'vnto
all
by
naturali
propagation,
fo
Chrifis death
and
merits
were
applied
vrto
them
by faith
;
for
there
is
no
-want
of
vertue
in
this precious
falue
to
heape,
but
the
caufe
.Why
it
healeth
not,.
i-s
becaufe
it
is reieo`ted
and
call
away
ghroughlincrcdulitie.
Thirdly,
Chrifis death
is,offarrre
more
