i « to heaven * and as they to endless ages , « reto be exalted from * one state of glory to a greater , he presumed that they were destined to die agajm , for some short interval , on every pfroihotion to still greater degrees of felicity *
But my present design is to give you his paraphrase upon Romans v . 1 2 , to the end of the chapter . This wiU exercise ^ our ingenious correspondents , from whose united labours we may hope to learn the true meaning of the original . " For this cause or reason , we have
receivedreconciliation by Jesus Christ , ' -namely , as sin entered into the world fry the one man , Adam , and death try his sin in eating the forbidden fruit , and thus by this siu of his , death hath cptne upon aU men , whereupon , in conscience of which , they have all sinmacl ; and yet that death passed
sipon fdl by- means of the sin of the one man , Adam , as I observed in the foregoing verse , and woukJ briefly prove before I proceed to finish the comparison I there began , is exceeding evident : for all along from the time of Adam ' s lapse to the giving the law by lViose > s , sin was in the world . But whatever sin may , in its own
nature , be supposed to deserve , it is not reasonable to suppose , that it should be universally reckoned td both , whea no law i » io being that makes death the special penalty of
transgression : aod yet death reigned thus jmwersaUy through tke whole period of time between Adam and Moses , « nd ove ^ tho ^ e too who did not violate * tbey » 4 ghi hare done , a positive ^ qnfnaand ofX ^ o ^ " after the « -
militude of Adams transgression ; between whom and him that was to come , namely , the Messiah , there is a likeness as to the damage occasion-$ 4 py $ ie one , apdr the gift , bestowed through tne other : not thatrfthft $ Umage occasioned by the lapse of the one man , Adam * jox& the advantage

what I observed in . the beginning of the former verse , that I may be more explicit in opening myselfupon aina ^ ter of such importance > 1 ^ ay , n ^ ap the damage through the one mjaii iliajt sinned , that is , in Hie one instance in which he was tried , so is the gijfjt
through the one man , Jesus Christ : for the judicial senteOce tookf rise from the lapse of the one man , Adam , and proceeded to condemnation * condemnation subjecting mankind to mortality , and thereupon to sin also ; but the gift takes rise from the many sins which men commit in the course of
their lives , and proceeds in opposition to the power and demerit of them all , so as finally to terminate in justification , justification including in it their deliverance from sin as well as death ,
their being made righteous as well as reigning in life : and it is quite reasonable to think thus of tfte matter ; for if by the lapse of the one man death in all its con&equ ^ ncesreigoed througk this one man over all men : much
more shall these all men , who a ? re tb « recipients of the abounding of the grace of God , and of the gift that shaft make them righteous , finally reign in life through the ope man Jesus Christ , I say , therefore , to return now and ,, pursue ( the comparison , I bega , n in the twelflth y « r $£ r-an of
