[Greek or Hebrew], Rabbi Jose the Galilean said, go forth and learn the Merit of Messiah the King, and the reward of that Righteous One above the first Adam, who had only Negative Precepts given unto him which he transgressed; behold how many deaths befell him and his Generations, and the Generations of his Generations, unto the End of all Generations. Answerable unto that of the Apostle, Rom. 5.18. Therefore as by the offence of one, judgement came upon all men unto condemnation, even so by the righteousness of one, the free gift came upon all men unto the justification of Life.

And this Punishment of the Sin of Adam and Eve they grant to have been so terrible, that they say, that in the day they were cast out of Paradise God lamented over them. [Greek or Hebrew]. Even as Adam and Eve when they were judged and cast out of the Garden of Eden, and the Lord of the world lamented over them. Targum, on Lamenta, chap. 1. v. 1.

The Truth indeed in these Expressions is clouded with Fables and trifles; but thy who are offended at them may do wll to direct us unto Judaical Writers that are free from such follies; and yet on thse things do innumerable poor souls venture their Eternal Condition, in an opposition to the blessed Gospel of the glorious God,
