The note.
Here we maie see against the heretikes, that they which be borne of Christ, and iustified by him, be made and const••••••ted iust indeed, and not by imputation onlie: as all that be horne of Adam be vniust and sinners in truth, and not by imputation.
The answer.
By the obedience of one manie shall be made iust: Is this obe∣dience in vs or imputed vnto vs? If it be in vs, then it is the obedi∣ence of many, but the text is manifest that this obedience resteth in the person of one, that is, of Christ, and by grace it is imputed vnto vs and made ours. You do but beguile the simple, and such as are not able to espie your fraud with the contrarie part of the Antithesis. For Adams onlie transgression was sufficient to make al his posteritie sinners, & subiect to the iust sentence of con∣demnation. And therefore death the reward of sinne did not only rage and raigne ouer actuall transgressors,* 1.1 but also ouer infants and babes skant borne.
