XVII. The right general Redemption, by the second Adam.
CHRIST is the second Adam, in whom all are made alive, as all in the first A∣dam were dead; but not so as if all who were dead in the first Adam, were made a∣live in the second; but as the first Adam was the person in whom all that are dead did die, so Christ is the second Adam in whom all that are alive do live; for Christ is the common nature of the living mankinde who live un∣to righteousnesse, as Adam was the common nature of the dead mankinde who die unto unrighteousnesse: For as by one mans disobe∣dience many were made sinners, so by the obe∣dience of one many are made righteous: God hath concluded all under sin, That the pro∣mises by faith of Jesus Christ, might be given to them that beleeve, Gal. 3.22.
