2. And it is not the same sort of Guilt, or so plenary, which is on us, for Adam's Act, as was ⟨p. 124⟩on him, but a Guilt Analogical, or of another sort: that is, He was guilty of being the wilful sinning Person, and so are not we, but only of being Persons whose Being is derived by Generation from the wilful sinning Persons, (besides the guilt of our own inherent pravity): That is, The Relation is such which our Persons have to Adam's Person, as make it just with God to desert us, and to punish us for that and our pravity together. This is our Guilt of Original sin.
3. And this Guilt cometh to us by Natural Propagation, and resultancy from our very Nature so propagated. And now let us consider of our contrary Interest in Christ.
And, 1. Our Persons are not the same as Christ's Person, (nor Christ's as ours) nor ever so judged or accounted of God.
2. Our Persons were not naturally, seminally, and virtually in Christ's Person (any further than he is Creator and Cause of all things) as they were in Adams.
