2. The Lord saith it is an offence by which many be dead, Rom. 5. 15. By which the judgment is, by one, unto condemnation [Greek or Hebrew]. It is the condemnation to the first and second death, from which we are delivered in Jesus Christ, Rom. 5. 16. Rom. 8. 1. It's an offence by which death reigned as a King. Now if this death be but a temporary death, how is it opposed to the reigning in life by one Jesus Christ, Rom. 5. 17? And as sin reigned unto death, even so grace reigns through righteousness unto eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord, Rom. 5. 21. Now except the Scripture had taught us that there is one sort of sin that deserves temporal death, another that deserves eternal death, we cannot believe Mr. Baxter.
