The later Masters I acknowledge are in this whole matter lubricous and uncertain; § 9 and th•y have been so in especial manner ever since they began to understand the plea of Christians for the necessity of satisfaction to be made by the sufferings of the Messiah from the Doctrine of the Fall and Sin of Man. Hence Abarbinel in his Commentary on Isa. 53. expressly argues against those sufferings of the Messiah, from the non-necessity of them with reference unto the Sin of Adam. They contend also some of them that ⟨p. 74⟩it was not so sorely revenged, as we plead it to have been. Ask an Heretic (a Christian) saith Lipman in his Nizzachon, how it can enter into their hearts to think that God should use so great severity against the Sin of Adam, that he should hold him bound for so small a matter, namely, for the eating of an Apple, that he should destroy him in this world, and that to come, and that n•t him only but all his Posterity.
