Secondly, Do not ye find your souls in some measure Naturalized unto the Work of Christ? the Things of Christ, and the Work of Christ in some measure Naturalized unto your souls? Adam (ye know) was the first man, ⟨p. 90⟩the father of us all; we were in Him as your Root, and he in Us as his Seed: and his Works, they are Naturalized to us. We being in him as in the Root, and he being in us as in his Seed, his Works are Naturalized to us. It's Natural to See, and to Hear, and to Speak; it's natural for a man to Sin. Sometimes ye have a Wicked man hating of a Godly, Gracious man, and he can give you no reason for it; I cannot tell why (saith he) but my heart is against him. But I'll tell ye why, and what the reason is: The Old Man is in him, the Old Adam is in him, and the work of Adam is Naturalized to a Wicked man, and he can give you no reason, (many times) why he does so, because the Work is Naturalized to him. So on the contrary, The Lord Jesus Christ is our second Adam, and believers being in him as in their Root, and he in them as in his Seed; his Works also, are Naturalized unto a believer in a great measure; that a believer (sometimes) his heart does stand unto the good Work of God, and he can give you no reason for it: why I should love this or that Godly man, I can give you no reason; but so it is, my heart stands towards him. The reason is this, because that Christ the Second Adam is within, and so his Work, and Things are naturalized unto the soul; and in some measure, is it not so with you?
