The New Testament diligently corrected and compared with the GreekThe Newe Testament dylygently corrected and compared with the Greke

After that he breaketh forth / & ritneth at large / & showeth whence both sin & righteousness / death & life come. And he compareth Adam & Christ together / thus wise reasoning & disputing / that Christ must needs come as a second Adam to make us heirs of his righteousness / through a new spiritual birth / without our de servings: even as the first Adam made us heirs of ⟨image 233⟩sin / through the bodily generation / without our deserving. Whereby is evidently known and proved to the uttermost / that no man can bring him self out of sin unto righteousness / no more then he could have withstand that he was borne bodily. And that is proved herewith / for as much as the very law of God / which of right should have helped / if any thing could have helped / not only came and brought no help with her / but also increased sin / because that the evil & poisoned nature is offended and utterly displeased with the law / and the more she is forbid by the law / the more is she provoked and set a fire to fulfil and satisfy her lusts. By the law then we see clearly that we must needs have Christ to justify us with his grace / and to help nature.

After that he breaketh forth / & ritneth at large / & sheweth whence both synne & righteousnes / deeth & lyfe come. And he cōpareth Adā & Christ to gether / thus wyse reasoninge & disputinge / that Christ must neades come as a secōd Adā to make vs heyres of his rightewesnes / thorow a neme spirituall birth / without ourede seruiges: euē as the first Adā made vs heyres of ⟨image 233⟩synne / thorowe the bodely generacion / withoute oure deseruinge. Whereby is euydently knowen and proued to the vttermoste / that no mā can bringe him selfe oute of synne vnto rightewesnes / nomore then he coulde haue withstonde that he was borne bodely. And that is proued herewith / for as moche as the very lawe of God / which of righte shulde haue holpe / yf any thinge coulde haue holpe / not only came and brought no helpe with hyr / but also encreased synne / because that the euill & poysoned nature is offended and vtterly displeased with thelawe / and the more she is forbed by the lawe / the more is she prouoked and set a fyre to fulfill and satisfie hyr lustes. By the lawe then we se clerely that we muste nedes haue Christe to iustifie vs with his grace / and to helpe nature.
