1. The First Man Adam, in eating voluntarily of the forbidden Fruit, incurred the Curse of God upon himself,a and all his Posterity (that come of him by Natural Propagation) viz. Corporal and Spiritual Death, in Body and Soul eternally;b but this Covenant was not only made with him, but with his Seed also, which should descend from his Loins by Natural Generation; he standing as a publick Personc in the stead of all Mankind. And as St. Paul saith, By him came sin, and death by sin, &cd and so deprived himself and all his Posterity, of that Original Righteousness, which Gode created him in.
