SECT. III.
IN the next place, We have the Effect of this disobedience, with the Extent of it. The Extent is to many, that is, to all born naturally of Adam; For many is not here opposed to all, but to one, the original, from that one, many, even all are made sinners. Therefore it's a dangerous Exposition of Theodoret, as Sixtus Senensis relateth, which affirmeth, Not all, but some only to be infected with Adam's sin, exempting Abel, Noah, and others from this pollution; For (1 Cor. 15.) the Apostle saith, In Adam all die; and in this Chapter at vers. 12. All have sinned in Adam; But the Effect, that is more dreadful, and worthy of all meditation, We are made [Greek or Hebrew]. This is more then when all were said to sin in him, for this doth denote the habitual depravation of all the parts of the soul, as also a readiness to commit all actual sins. Therefore the word is sometimes applied to signify great and heinous sinners, as Mary Magdalen is said to be ([Greek or Hebrew]) a sinner. So then you see, that by Adams disobedience all are made sinners.
