The Si nfi>slneFe of Sinne. tion of originall righteoufneffe is from God immediat- ly, who pulled away Adam's righteoufneffe from him ; Therefore it is no fin. For the mote diflincf underftanding the whole truth, and anfwering thefe fuppofed tirong reafons , give me leave to premife thefe ob'ervations by way of Hypo thefis.
