§ 7 Thus is the condition of the Sin and Punishment of our first Parents themselves, acknowledged by them. And the same is that of their Posterity. What was threatened unto, what was inflicted upon those who first sinned, they are all liable and obnoxious unto. Are they not all as subject unto Death, as was Adam himself? Are the miseries of man in his labour, or the sorrows of Women in Childbearing taken away? Is the Earth its self freed from the Effects of the Curse? Do they not dye who never sinned after the similitude of Adams Transgression? The Jews themselves grant that all death is penal. [Greek or Hebrew]; There is no Death without Sin; no Punishment or Correction without iniquity: It is the saying of R. Aim in the Talmud, Tractat. Sabbath. cited in Sepher Ikharim, lib. 4. cap. 13. And this Principle Maimonides carries so high, as to deny all [Greek or Hebrew], Correction of Love, affirming none to be of that mind, but some Gaeonims deceived by the Sect of Muatzali. More Nebuch. p. 3. cap. 17. And they who dye penally under the Curse, abide in no other estate than that mentioned. They acknowledge also the remainder of the Curse on the Earth its self on the same account. [Greek or Hebrew]. The whole World, says one of their Masters, was not created but for man; and therefore after man sinned, it came short of its first perfection. But these things being of some use for their Conviction, as also to discover the perverse obstinacy of some of their later Masters, we may a little more particularly take them along with us.
