REASONS.
1. Taken from the proportion between the first, and second Adam, the Type and the Truth. As the first Adam conveyed his sin and wrath by a covenant of works: the second must convey holiness and life by a covenant of Grace, and the free gift thereof. The first Adam begat a Son in his own image, wholly defiled and defaced with original corruption, and so made him Heir apparent to the curse and condemnation thereby. The second Adam must instamp the image of holiness upon his, without which, none shall see life. Hebr. 12.14. Thus the Apostle disputes, 1 Cor. 15.49. As we have born the image of the Earthy, the first, so we shall bear the image of the Heavenly.
