1. He greatly insists that by Death in this Place no more is meant, than that Death which we all die, when this present Life is extinguished, and the Body returns to the Dust; that no more is meant in the 12, 14, 15, and 17th Verses. P. 27. he speaks of it as evidently, clearly and infallibly so, because the Apostle is still discoursing on the same Subject; plainly implying, that it must most infallibly be so, that the Apostle means no more by Death, throughout this Paragraph on the Subject. But as infallible as this is, if we believe what Dr.T. elsewhere says, it must needs be otherwise. He, in P.396, speaking of those Words in the last Verse of the next Chapter, The Wages of Sin is DEATH, but the Gift of God is ETERNAL LIFE, through' Jesus Christ our Lord, says, Death in this Place is widely different from the Death we now die; as it stands there opposed to eternal Life, which is the Gift of God through' Jesus Christ, it manifestly signifies eternal Death, the second Death, or that Death which they shall here after die, who live after the Flesh. But Death, in the Conclusion of the Paragraph we are upon in the 5th Chapter, concerning the Death that comes by Adam, and the Life that comes by Christ, in the last v. of the Chapter, is opposed to eternal Life, just in the same Manner ⟨p. 239⟩as it is in the last v. of the next Chapter. That as Sin has reigned unto DEATH, even so might Grace reign, through' Righteousness, unto ETERNAL LIFE, by Jesus Christ our Lord. So that by our Author's own Argument, Death in this Place also is manifestly widely different from the Death we now die, as it stands here opposed to eternal Life through' Jesus Christ; and signifies eternal Death, the second Death. And yet this is a Part of the same Discourse or Paragraph with that begun in the 12th v. as reckoned by Dr. T. himself in his Division of Paragraphs, in his Paraphrase and Notes on the Epistle. So that if we will follow him, and admit his Reasonings in the various Parts of his Book, here is manifest Proof, against infallible Evidence! So that 'tis true, the Apostle throughout this whole Passage on the same Subject, by Death, evidently, clearly and infallibly means no more, than that Death we now die, when this Life is extinguished;
