Christ the second Adam is the Image into which we are changed,1 ⟨p. 361⟩we are not changed to the Image of the first Adam by grace, but to the Image of the second Adam: There is from him a derivation of all good, opposite to all the ill we drew from the first Adam, we drew from the first Adam the displeasure of God; by the second, we obtain the favour of God by his death, and satisfaction; with the wrath of God, we drew corruption from the first Adam, in the second we have grace, from the first Adam we have death, and all the miseries that attend death, and follow it. In the second Ada• we have life and all happiness, till ⟨p. 362⟩it end in glory; In a word, whatsoever ill we have in the first Adam, it is repaired abundantly in the second, when we are changed into his Image, therefore, when you read of the Image of God in the New Testament, it must be understood, of the Image of God in Jesus Christ, the second Adam.
