The great Christian doctrine of original sin defended

With respect to those Words [Greek or Hebrew] We were by Nature Children of Wrath, Dr. T. says (P.112, 113, 114.) The Apostle means no more by this, than truly or really Children of Wrath; using a metaphorical Expression, borrowed from the Word that is used to signify a true and genuine Child of a Family, in Distinction from one that is a Child only by Adoption: To express this we say, he is by Nature a Child. In which 'tis owned, that the proper Sense of the Phrase is being a Child by Nature, in the same Sense as a Child by Birth or natural Generation; but only he supposes, that here the Word is used metaphorically. The Instance he produces as parallel, to confirm his supposed metaphorical Sense of the Phrase, as meaning only truly, really or properly Children of Wrath, viz. the Apostle Paul's calling Timothy his own Son in the Faith, [Greek or Hebrew] is so far from confirming his Sense, that it is rather directly against it. For doubtless the Apostle uses the Word [Greek or Hebrew] in it's original Signification here, meaning his begotten Son; [Greek or Hebrew] being the Adjective from [Greek or Hebrew] Off spring, or the Verb [Greek or Hebrew] to beget; as much as to say, Timothy my begotten Son in the Faith; only allowing for the two Ways of being begotten, spoken of in the new Testament, one natural, and the other spiritual; one being the first Generation, the other Regeneration; the one a being begotten as to the human Nature, the other a being begotten ⟨p. 231⟩in the Faith, begotten in Christ, or as to one's Christianity. The Apostle expressly signifies which of these he means in this Place, Timothy my begotten Son in the Faith, in the same Manner as he says to the Corinthians, 1 Cor. iv. 15. In Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the Gospel. To say, the Apostle uses the Word, [Greek or Hebrew] in Eph. ii. 3. only as signifying real, true and proper, is a most arbitrary Interpretation, having nothing to warrant it in the whole Bible. The Word [Greek or Hebrew] is no where used in this Sense in the New-Testament.^*
