1. Proposition, all bodily diseases, infirmities, sicknesses, griefs, aches, and indispositions, are punishments of the sin of Adam, and effects of Gods wrath and curse inflicted on man, Gen. 2.17. in dying thou shalt die, thou shalt dye by degrees, in this word are all diseases and infirmities comprehended, and are threatened, yea, and inflicted, executed, every disease, ache, or pain, is a drop of the curse inflicted by virtue of this word And this punishment (as well as many others) is such as may be suffered without sin, by our Lord Jesus, who is like unto us in such infirmities yet without sin, Heb. •.15, what ever Jesus Christ suffered, he sinned not, 1 Pet. 2.22. he did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth, not one word of impatience or any other evil, what ever he suffered, either justly as from the hand of God, or unjustly from the hand of man.
