And as thus in this place to the Corinths the Apostle argues Christ to be a Common person, in respect of his condition and state, by an argument of parallels taken from his Type, Adam; So secondly, in that 5. to the Romans, he argues Christ to have been a Common person,1 in his actions which he did on earth; and this also from the similitude of Adam, whom ver. 14. he therein makes to have been Christs Type. And he speaks of Adam there, as a Common person, both in respect of what he did, namely, his [Sin;] and also in respect of what befell him for his sin, namely, [Death,] and condemnation. And because he was in all these not to be considered as a single Man, but as one that was All men, by way of representation: Hence, both what he did, they are said to do in him; and what condemnation or death was deserved by his sin, fell upon them all, by this Law of his being a public person for them.
