here_o be_v no_o fiction_n but_o evident_a truth_n adam_n in_o the_o very_a act_n of_o sin_v deserve_v because_o he_o sin_v that_o god_n shall_v have_v withdraw_v his_o influence_n but_o it_o be_v a_o

to_o god_n it_o will_v seem_v by_o that_o same_o reason_n adam_n shall_v interpretative_o will_v and_o desire_v the_o predeterminate_a influence_n of_o god_n to_o a_o godly_a act_n of_o obedience_n and_o so_o a_o godly_a and_o pious_a work_n shall_v be_v ascribe_v to_o man_n and_o not_o to_o god_n ans_fw-fr 1._o the_o virtual_a demerit_n be_v not_o the_o adequate_a cause_n why_o the_o sin_n be_v ascribe_v to_o adam_n but_o the_o actual_a crooking_a and_o deviate_a of_o the_o mind_n will_n and_o affection_n from_o god_n as_o the_o true_a near_o cause_n especial_o since_o adam_n be_v under_o a_o law_n not_o to_o sin_v nor_o to_o refuse_v virtual_o the_o lord_n influence_n and_o because_o the_o lord_n be_v under_o no_o law_n to_o give_v influence_n his_o free_a withdraw_a can_v never_o

the_o praedeterminate_a influence_n of_o god_n i_o ask_v whether_o they_o understand_v the_o effect_n and_o material_a and_o interpretative_a consent_n or_o the_o formal_a and_o direct_a actual_a consent_n if_o the_o former_a be_v say_v it_o be_v a_o ridiculous_a claver_a for_o they_o say_v that_o adam_n desire_v interpretative_o and_o material_o to_o want_v the_o influence_n of_o god_n quatenus_fw-la in_o se_fw-la as_o he_o desire_v to_o want_v the_o influence_n of_o god_n if_o the_o latter_a be_v say_v the_o necessity_n of_o sin_v stand_v for_o if_o god_n deny_v his_o influence_n to_o one_o of_o the_o opposite_n and_o give_v it_o to_o the_o other_o it_o be_v a_o necessit●_n the_o strength_n of_o our_o argument_n be_v that_o that_o be_v not_o to_o be_v impute_v to_o adam_n as_o sin_n which_o be_v both_o necessary_a and_o inevitable_a ans_fw-fr 1._o the_o argument_n be_v weak_a for_o one_o and_o the_o same_o voluntary_a act_n of_o consent_v to_o eat_v in_o adam_n be_v refer_v

god_n now_o no_o precept_n or_o law_n be_v lay_v upon_o adam_n or_o upon_o any_o man_n to_o have_v or_o to_o want_v the_o influence_n of_o god_n whether_o it_o be_v predeterminative_a or_o
