A11363	A treatise of Paradise. And the principall contents thereof especially of the greatnesse, situation, beautie, and other properties of that place: of the trees of life, good and euill; of the serpent, cherubin, fiery sword, mans creation, immortalitie, propagation, stature, age, knowledge, temptation, fall, and exclusion out of Paradise; and consequently of his and our originall sin: with many other difficulties touching these points. Collected out of the holy Scriptures, ancient fathers, and other both ancient and moderne writers.	Salkeld, John, 1576-1660.	1617 (1617)	STC 21622; ESTC S116515	126,315	368

wherefore_o see_v that_o god_n be_v the_o author_n of_o nature_n he_o must_v also_o be_v the_o author_n of_o this_o foam_v peccati_fw-la and_o concupiscence_n which_o necessary_o flow_v from_o the_o

be_v of_o the_o sin_n which_o flow_v from_o nature_n which_o both_o seem_v no_o less_o blasphemous_a than_o absurd_a i_o answer_v that_o this_o foam_v peccati_fw-la or_o concupiscence_n with_o which_o

see_v adam_n lose_v this_o grace_n both_o for_o we_o and_o himself_o both_o this_o privation_n of_o grace_n be_v attribute_v unto_o we_o as_o also_o the_o concupiscence_n revive_v in_o we_o by_o

grant_v that_o he_o be_v author_n of_o it_o as_o it_o be_v sin_n but_o of_o that_o material_a or_o thing_n which_o by_o man_n wickedness_n be_v make_v sin_n yea_o which_o be_v good_a as_o proceed_v from_o god_n though_o evil_a and_o wicked_a as_o flow_v from_o man_n god_n concourse_n be_v altogether_o good_a man_n determination_n evil_a as_o detort_v it_o to_o evil_a as_o the_o light_n of_o the_o sun_n of_o itself_o pure_a and_o good_a be_v oftentimes_o use_v and_o abuse_v to_o evil_a yea_o of_o this_o we_o have_v infinite_a example_n in_o which_o our_o adversary_n be_v drive_v to_o

to_o his_o infinite_a goodness_n that_o which_o have_v infinite_a malice_n in_o it_o as_o it_o be_v against_o that_o infinite_a goodness_n the_o reason_n therefore_o why_o it_o be_v rather_o to_o be_v attribute_v unto_o man_n as_o second_o cause_n of_o it_o then_o unto_o god_n who_o be_v the_o universal_a cause_n of_o all_o be_v because_o man_n have_v the_o universal_a concourse_n of_o god_n unto_o

may_v be_v object_v against_o original_a sin_n that_o if_o that_o privation_n of_o original_a justice_n which_o ought_v to_o have_v be_v in_o we_o and_o of_o which_o we_o be_v deprive_v by_o adam_n

that_o there_o be_v not_o one_o only_a culpable_a privation_n of_o that_o original_a justice_n which_o adam_n have_v in_o paradise_n but_o also_o of_o faith_n hope_n charity_n and_o of_o all_o other_o grace_n consequent_a unto_o the_o foresaid_a original_a justice_n why_o shall_v there_o not_o be_v by_o the_o like_a reason_n as_o many_o original_a sin_n as_o there_o be_v privation_n of_o supernatural_a gift_n and_o grace_n the_o answer_n be_v easy_a for_o that_o all_o these_o deprivation_n of_o grace_n be_v derive_v of_o one_o which_o be_v of_o our_o original_a justice_n which_o shall_v have_v be_v the_o root_n and_o fountain_n of_o they_o all_o the_o three_o objection_n may_v be_v that_o see_v that_o it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o power_n of_o any_o to_o attain_v to_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n be_v in_o original_a sin_n consequent_o the_o formal_a of_o original_a sin_n can_v be_v any_o privation_n of_o grace_n but_o rather_o a_o negation_n i_o answer_v that_o because_o once_o it_o be_v in_o the_o power_n of_o adam_n suppose_v the_o covenant_n make_v by_o almighty_a god_n with_o he_o that_o the_o say_v supernatural_a form_n of_o original_a justice_n shall_v have_v be_v by_o his_o perseverance_n pass_v unto_o his_o posterity_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o this_o absence_n of_o original_a justice_n in_o adam_n and_o his_o posterity_n be_v rather_o a_o privation_n than_o negation_n four_o it_o may_v be_v object_v that_o as_o in_o the_o opinion_n of_o scotus_n whensoever_o the_o act_n of_o sin_n be_v past_a the_o sinner_n may_v true_o be_v call_v a_o sinner_n only_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o relation_n of_o the_o act_n past_a which_o be_v not_o as_o yet_o forgive_v so_o it_o seem_v that_o the_o same_o may_v be_v say_v in_o original_a sin_n that_o though_o the_o act_n of_o adam_n

be_v past_a yet_o that_o this_o may_v be_v impute_v unto_o we_o his_o posterity_n only_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o relation_n which_o we_o may_v have_v from_o his_o act_n and_o this_o without_o any_o other_o privation_n negation_n or_o concupiscence_n remain_v in_o us._n i_o answer_v that_o although_o this_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o albertus_n and_o catharinus_n yet_o that_o in_o no_o wise_a it_o may_v be_v admit_v for_o so_o we_o be_v not_o real_o and_o internal_o sinner_n in_o adam_n but_o only_o by_o a_o extern_a denomination_n of_o his_o sin_n which_o as_o we_o have_v already_o show_v be_v most_o erroneous_a chap._n lviii_o of_o the_o manner_n how_o original_a sin_n do_v descend_v from_o adam_n to_o his_o posterity_n there_o have_v be_v three_o distinct_a heresy_n about_o this_o point_n the_o first_o which_o make_v no_o difference_n between_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n and_o other_o live_a creature_n hold_v that_o as_o the_o soul_n of_o all_o other_o creature_n compound_v of_o matter_n and_o form_n be_v produce_v with_o dependencie_n of_o their_o subject_n and_o material_a substance_n so_o likewise_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n and_o that_o therefore_o they_o be_v infect_v and_o pollute_v by_o the_o conjunction_n with_o the_o body_n the_o second_o opinion_n no_o less_o absurd_a in_o philosophy_n then_o erroneous_a in_o divinity_n be_v that_o one_o soul_n do_v concur_v unto_o the_o generation_n of_o another_o as_o the_o whole_a man_n whole_o to_o the_o production_n of_o another_o the_o three_o and_o worst_a opinion_n of_o all_o do_v attribute_v the_o production_n of_o original_a sin_n in_o our_o soul_n unto_o the_o absolute_a power_n of_o god_n spot_v thereby_o his_o infinite_a goodness_n by_o the_o too_o much_o extend_v of_o his_o omnipotence_n even_o unto_o that_o which_o rather_o argue_v impotency_n than_o omnipotency_n now_o therefore_o the_o true_a cause_n of_o original_a sin_n in_o we_o as_o the_o scripture_n often_o witness_v be_v our_o first_o father_n adam_n by_o reason_n of_o his_o transgression_n of_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n but_o this_o not_o by_o real_a influx_n and_o concourse_n but_o by_o moral_a first_o because_o he_o can_v not_o of_o himself_o and_o by_o his_o own_o nature_n pass_v unto_o his_o posterity_n any_o such_o effect_n especial_o see_v that_o that_o sin_n now_o be_v altogether_o past_a yea_o at_o least_o way_n

do_v oblige_v man_n to_o the_o preserve_n of_o justice_n but_o certain_o no_o man_n can_v deny_v but_o that_o original_a grace_n and_o justice_n shall_v have_v be_v transfuse_v to_o adam_n posterity_n
