that_o quality_n second_o if_o god_n have_v make_v a_o covenant_n to_o give_v life_n eternal_a to_o they_o that_o shall_v eat_v of_o this_o fruit_n although_o they_o shall_v sin_v §_o 4._o but_o upon_o another_o ground_n it_o may_v sufficient_o be_v prove_v that_o the_o virtue_n of_o this_o tree_n to_o give_v eternal_a life_n be_v natural_a namely_o because_o it_o be_v not_o repugnant_a that_o in_o nature_n such_o a_o virtue_n shall_v be_v find_v because_o the_o effect_n of_o this_o tree_n of_o itself_o be_v of_o a_o natural_a order_n and_o finite_a perfection_n for_o it_o shall_v

whether_o the_o virtue_n of_o this_o tree_n be_v such_o as_o to_o keep_v a_o man_n alive_a time_n without_o end_n §_o 1._o there_o be_v two_o extreme_a opinion_n about_o this_o question_n the_o first_o be_v they_o who_o say_v that_o by_o eat_v of_o such_o a_o tree_n a_o man_n will_v not_o have_v be_v eternal_a but_o will_v only_o have_v endure_v a_o very_a long_a time_n and_o he_o shall_v therefore_o have_v be_v eternal_a in_o the_o state_n of_o innocence_n because_o after_o one_o or_o more_o eating_n before_o the_o virtue_n of_o the_o tree_n be_v spend_v he_o shall_v have_v be_v translate_v from_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n to_o glory_n and_o immortality_n as_o scotus_n a_o think_v §_o 2._o they_o prove_v this_o opinion_n first_o the_o virtue_n of_o that_o tree_n will_v have_v be_v finite_a in_o that_o it_o be_v create_v therefore_o it_o can_v not_o produce_v a_o infinite_a effect_n second_o if_o that_o tree_n have_v have_v a_o virtue_n to_o preserve_v man_n to_o eternity_n that_o virtue_n will_v have_v be_v useless_a because_o no_o man_n in_o the_o state_n of_o innocence_n shall_v have_v live_v for_o ever_o in_o this_o world_n but_o after_o a_o appoint_a time_n all_o man_n shall_v have_v be_v translate_v when_o to_o wit_n the_o number_n of_o the_o predestinate_a be_v full_a as_o these_o man_n hold_v for_o at_o that_o time_n the_o just_a shall_v be_v translate_v to_o glory_n and_o the_o unjust_a to_o eternal_a punishment_n wherefore_o when_o this_o time_n be_v finish_v the_o virtue_n of_o the_o tree_n that_o preserve_v man_n to_o eternity_n will_v have_v be_v superfluous_a §_o 3._o three_o because_o the_o apple_n of_o that_o tree_n take_v for_o nourishment_n will_v have_v rëact_v upon_o the_o body_n therefore_o it_o can_v never_o restore_v the_o radical_a moisture_n and_o the_o waste_a substance_n entire_a and_o by_o consequence_n can_v not_o preserve_v life_n to_o eternity_n §_o 4._o four_o though_o the_o tree_n of_o life_n may_v for_o the_o most_o part_n take_v away_o inward_a morbific_a cause_n by_o restore_v entire_a the_o natural_a heat_n and_o moisture_n and_o the_o decay_a substance_n so_o that_o it_o shall_v not_o wax_v old_a yet_o it_o can_v not_o take_v away_o external_a cause_n nor_o by_o consequence_n prevent_v a_o man_n be_v hurt_n by_o wound_n or_o perish_v by_o hunger_n or_o be_v choke_v for_o want_n of_o breath_n therefore_o from_o thence_o eternal_a life_n can_v not_o of_o necessity_n follow_v §_o 5._o five_o because_o in_o the_o state_n of_o lapse_v nature_n at_o least_o man_z will_v have_v be_v much_o
