WE believe, that even as the sin of Adam, and death which followed the same, remained not in Adam alone: but from him, as from the head of all mankind, it did and doth flow into all men, which by a common generation have bin and are borne of him: so likewise that the righteousness of Christ, and the eternal life due unto him, is not holden in Christ alone, but is derived into all those, who by the regeneration of the holy spirit are made one with him, and as true members are joined unto him as head of the whole church: and that to this ⟨p. 76⟩end and purpose Christ came in the flesh, and that all our salvation and life consisteth in him, as in our head: that it may indeed be bestowed and communicated upon all the elect of God which are united unto him.
