Another Thing observable in the Apostle's Scope from the Beginning of the Epistle, is, he endeavours to •hew the Greatness and Absoluteness of the Dependence of all Mankind on the Redemption & Righteousness of CHRIST, for Justification and Life, that he might magnify & exalt the Redeemer: which Design his whole Heart was swallowed up in, and may be looked upon as the main Design of the whole Epistle. And this is what he had been upon in the preceding Part of this Chapter; inferring it from the same Argument, the utter Sinfulness and Ruin of ⟨p. 274⟩all Men. And he is evidently still on the same Thing in this Place, from the 12th v. to the End; speaking of the same Justification and Righteousness, which he had dwelt on before; and not another totally diverse. No Wonder, when the Apostle is treating so fully and largely of our Restoration, Righteousness and Life by Christ, that he is led by it to consider our Fall, Sin, Death and Ruin by Adam; and to observe wherein these two opposite Heads of Mankind agree, and wherein they differ, in the Manner of Conveyance of opposite Influences and Communications from Each.
