but if all the whole body fall from a steep place upon it, it breaks all the whole frame of Nature in pieces: So it is comparatively between the sin of Adam, and the sin of any of the sons of Adam: They sin personally; one is unjust, and he makes a breach against Justice, and so far that disposition of heart is perverted, and so unfitted for the work of Justice; but in Adam the whole Nature of Mind, and Will, and Affections, which was the subject of all Grace, it comes against the Law, and so brings a ruin upon the whole Frame of Grace? Ad hereunto (to make up the Evidence) that this was indeed against the whole Law; as that wherein he neither loved God nor himself, nor ⟨p. 317⟩[…] neighbour: But take it here, he made a breach upon the seal of the Covenant, and trampled that under foot, and so consequently made void and […] upon the Covenant wholly, and cast it behind his back as not worth caring for: Now Reason […] that as the Seal confirms and ratifies the […], and all the Conditions of it jointly, so the […] of that nullifies and makes void the whole Covenant. So that this transgression of Adam let […] a Deluge of Sin, that as in Noah's Flood when the Windows of Heaven were opened, and the great depths were broken up, the waters covered the face of the whole Earth that no dry Land appeared: So […] is here, when the deeps are broken up (as it were) the whole Law opposed by the whole Nature of man, the Deluge of corruption spreads it self over the whole face and frame of Nature: Therefore the Apostle first Summarily gives in his Judgment, in the 3. to the Romans, the 9. verse, That all are under sin: And then Particularly, They are all become abominable, there is none that doth good, no not one, their throat is an open Sepulchre, vents nothing but venomous steams of deadly distempers; the poison of Asps is under their tongues, their feet swift to shed blood, 12, 13, 14, 15. vers. And if all the Parts be such, what is the heart within that acts all, vents all, fills all these? That as it befell the Temple of Jerusalem, after the destruction of it, there was not a stone left upon a stone; so with the soul in regard of that glorious frame of Grace which was in it in the first Creation, there is not a stone left upon a stone; nothing but pollution and corruption remains in the whole Nature of every man.
