I. They feign us to have been Personally in Adam, whenas we were but seminally in him, and personally from him. 2. They feign us to have been in him by a certain Covenant, more than we were by Natural In-existence: And that his sin was arbitrarily by God through that Covenant, imputed to us further than we were guilty of it by any natural In-being or derivation: As if God made all men sinners by his arbitrary imputation of that to them, which in their natures they were not really guilty of: And as if our guilt of Adams sin, were just of the same sort as his; yea, and our guilt and his guilt were individual accidents of the same individual persons. But this (which Dr. Twice oft confuteth in most of his Books) I have so largely and lately cleared in my published Disputations of Original sin, that you shall excuse me for not reciting it here.

3. The guilt of Adams sin being ours by Natural Derivation, cometh to all alike, entirely (according to the subjects capacity▪ and necessarily, without the consent of Parent or Child: Were Adam and all Parents unwilling to communicate it in generation, it would nevertheless be done: But Christ being not a Natural, but a contracting voluntary Root and Cause, doth communicate the fruits of his Righteousness only voluntarily by gift of Contract, at the time, in the anner, and measure, and on the terms that he seeth meet.
