I will wind it up thus, that punishment which was included in the curse, and which was deserved by the first Adam, that was suffered by Christ the second Adam; but the punishment both of soul and body, were the punishments included in the curse, and deserved by the sin of Adam; therefore it is borne by the second Adam, as certainly as it was deserved by the first Adam.
