SECT. II.

THat all mankind by Adam's disobedience are truly and properly made sinners. The Text is so clear that we would wonder any should be so deluded, as to confront the Truth contained therein: Every one that is naturally born of Adam, is thereby, and in that respect made a sinner, though he should have no actual transgessions of his own: An Infant, that liveth not to be guilty of any actual evil, yet because Adam's seed, is thereby made a sinner, and so a child of Gods wrath. Certainly, the Apostle would not have been so large and industrious in affirming this Truth: But because of the evident necessity to know it, and the great utility that may come to us, if duly improving this knowledge. To be sure he layeth this as a foundation, to exalt and magnifie the grace of God by Christ: So that they who deny this original contagion, must needs rob Christ and his grace of the greatest part of that glory due to him.
