other_o tree_n of_o paradise_n or_o the_o tree_n of_o life_n §_o 3._o and_o although_o only_o the_o six_o and_o seven_o which_o be_v never_o dispute_v upon_o or_o so_o much_o as_o hint_v at_o by_o

this_o of_o we_o of_o occult_a quality_n doubt_v i._o whether_o the_o wood_n of_o life_n be_v a_o proper_a and_o true_a tree_n or_o only_o metaphorical_a concern_v this_o first_o doubt_v it_o be_v the_o common_a opinion_n nay_o even_o matter_n of_o faith_n as_o suarez_n a_o assert_n that_o the_o wood_n of_o life_n be_v a_o corporeal_a and_o true_a tree_n which_o in_o paradise_n yield_v fruit_n

of_o good_a and_o evil._n where_o the_o word_n mad_a to_o grow_v refer_v too_o this_o wood_n as_o well_o as_o other_o tree_n which_o be_v true_o such_o and_o the_o contrary_a opinion_n be_v ascribe_v

and_o many_o other_o §_o 2._o some_o will_v prove_v this_o opinion_n from_o
yet_o do_v not_o please_v first_o because_o that_o word_n in_o its_o proper_a signification_n denote_v eternity_n but_o the_o word_n of_o holy_a writ_n unless_o some_o great_a inconvenience_n hinder_v shall_v ever_o be_v take_v in_o their_o proper_a and_o genuine_a signification_n otherwise_o we_o shall_v have_v nothing_o certain_a second_o because_o the_o life_n which_o be_v owe_v to_o man_n in_o the_o state_n of_o innocence_n be_v life_n eternal_a not_o only_o a_o very_a long_a life_n but_o the_o tree_n of_o life_n be_v make_v by_o god_n to_o make_v good_a that_o life_n which_o be_v owe_v to_o man_n in_o the_o state_n of_o innocence_n therefore_o not_o only_o very_o long_a life_n but_o simple_o eternal_a life_n be_v to_o be_v make_v good_a by_o eat_v of_o that_o tree_n §_o 13._o and_o this_o be_v confirm_v first_o because_o god_n for_o that_o reason_n cast_v man_n out_o of_o paradise_n lest_o he_o shall_v enjoy_v that_o good_a which_o be_v due_a to_o he_o have_v he_o be_v obedient_a and_o persist_v in_o the_o state_n of_o innocence_n but_o that_o good_a due_a to_o the_o state_n of_o innocence_n whereof_o he_o be_v to_o be_v deprive_v if_o he_o be_v not_o obedient_a as_o god_n have_v declare_v in_o those_o word_n in_o the_o day_n that_o thou_o eat_v thereof_o thou_o shall_v sure_o die_v be_v life_n absolute_o eternal_a not_o only_o a_o very_a long_a one_o therefore_o the_o same_o life_n eternal_a must_v be_v make_v good_a by_o that_o tree_n second_o it_o be_v confirm_v because_o the_o punishment_n threaten_v man_n be_v the_o loss_n of_o life_n absolute_o eternal_a but_o god_n execute_v this_o punishment_n by_o the_o loss_n of_o the_o tree_n of_o life_n therefore_o this_o tree_n must_v give_v life_n absolute_o eternal_a otherwise_o it_o have_v not_o be_v necessary_a to_o deprive_v man_n of_o the_o eat_n of_o this_o tree_n §_o 14._o second_o the_o say_a opinion_n be_v demonstrate_v because_o if_o that_o tree_n have_v not_o continual_o keep_v off_o old_a age_n at_o least_o in_o its_o season_n repeat_v it_o will_v follow_v that_o in_o the_o state_n of_o innocence_n something_o will_v have_v be_v lose_v of_o nature_n vigour_n and_o man_n will_v have_v fall_v from_o the_o flower_n of_o their_o age_n to_o a_o worse_a condition_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o sacred_a text_n which_o say_v in_o the_o day_n that_o thou_o eat_v thereof_o thou_o shall_v sure_o die_v that_o be_v thou_o shall_v begin_v to_o decline_v to_o death_n or_o to_o decay_v from_o the_o integrity_n of_o nature_n as_o all_o author_n expound_v it_o until_o thou_o decaye_v altogether_o and_o do_v die_v therefore_o the_o tree_n of_o life_n do_v so_o make_v good_a eternal_a life_n that_o it_o will_v not_o suffer_v nature_n to_o fall_v a_o whit_n from_o her_o integrity_n therefore_o it_o will_v not_o only_o have_v give_v a_o long_a life_n but_o that_o apple_n will_v not_o suffer_v the_o least_o defect_n in_o nature_n §_o 15._o bellarmine_n b_o b_o judge_n either_o of_o these_o opinion_n probable_a and_o affirm_v they_o may_v be_v defend_v without_o heresy_n yet_o he_o be_v for_o the_o latter_a as_o i_o be_o to_o be_v the_o more_o eligible_a §_o 16._o therefore_o a_o man_n may_v answer_v the_o first_o argument_n for_o the_o opposite_a opinion_n thus_o that_o its_o cogency_n be_v as_o great_a in_o the_o beatific_a vision_n for_o that_o it_o endure_v time_n infinite_a when_o nevertheless_o the_o immediate_a cause_n of_o this_o duration_n be_v the_o intellect_n and_o light_n of_o glory_n which_o be_v finite_a being_n therefore_o as_o it_o be_v no_o obstacle_n in_o the_o production_n of_o a_o effect_n which_o will_v endure_v time_n infinite_a that_o these_o cause_n be_v finite_a so_o also_o there_o can_v be_v no_o repugnance_n that_o the_o quality_n of_o the_o tree_n of_o life_n may_v produce_v a_o effect_n durable_a time_n infinite_a §_o 17._o but_o you_o will_v urge_v this_o take_v not_o away_o the_o force_n of_o the_o argument_n because_o a_o infinite_a duration_n be_v a_o infinite_a effect_n therefore_o it_o can_v be_v effect_v by_o a_o finite_a cause_n yet_o i_o deny_v the_o consequence_n because_o it_o may_v immediate_o be_v effect_v by_o a_o finite_a cause_n when_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n it_o depend_v on_o a_o cause_n infinite_a for_o the_o quality_n of_o the_o tree_n of_o life_n be_v to_o be_v conserve_v by_o god_n immediate_o to_o all_o eternity_n therefore_o these_o very_a quality_n also_o will_v immediate_o conserve_v life_n to_o eternity_n instance_n hereof_o be_v spiritual_a substance_n which_o be_v conserve_v to_o eternity_n by_o the_o first_o cause_n immediate_o and_o they_o themselves_o conserve_v their_o effect_n to_o eternity_n §_o 18._o to_o the_o second_o i_o answer_v from_o this_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o all_o other_o tree_n be_v superfluous_a see_v they_o will_v remain_v after_o translation_n and_o yet_o the_o fruit_n of_o other_o tree_n be_v not_o supervacaneous_a in_o paradise_n although_o no_o man_n eat_v of_o they_o §_o 19_o to_o the_o three_o it_o may_v be_v answer_v that_o this_o apple_n be_v not_o only_a meat_n but_o medicine_n also_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o quality_n which_o shall_v hereafter_o be_v explain_v whereby_o it_o either_o hinder_v its_o own_o rëaction_n or_o make_v up_o the_o damage_n of_o the_o rëaction_n if_o there_o be_v any_o whereby_o all_o thing_n respect_v the_o integrity_n of_o nature_n may_v be_v restore_v and_o reduce_v to_o the_o most_o perfect_a state_n whence_o it_o may_v correct_v by_o medicinal_a quality_n that_o damage_n which_o it_o bring_v by_o rëaction_n §_o 20._o to_o the_o four_o i_o say_v that_o the_o quality_n of_o that_o wood_n which_o shall_v hereafter_o be_v enumerate_v will_v have_v preserve_v from_o all_o cause_n which_o may_v bring_v a_o preternatural_a disposition_n to_o the_o body_n so_o that_o it_o can_v neither_o be_v offend_v by_o wound_n nor_o can_v be_v sick_a or_o die_v of_o hunger_n or_o want_v of_o air_n which_o hereafter_o we_o shall_v show_v be_v possible_a §_o 21._o other_o who_o be_v unwilling_a to_o attribute_v the_o perfect_a cause_n of_o avoid_v death_n to_o the_o tree_n of_o life_n reply_n that_o those_o outward_a cause_n must_v have_v be_v avoid_v by_o the_o extraordinary_a providence_n of_o god_n but_o we_o shall_v dispute_v this_o hereafter_o yet_o grant_v it_o be_v so_o this_o do_v not_o hinder_v but_o that_o the_o tree_n of_o life_n may_v remove_v the_o inward_a cause_n of_o death_n for_o ever_o §_o 22._o to_o the_o five_o the_o same_o answer_n will_v serve_v to_o wit_n that_o reparation_n will_v have_v be_v make_v for_o all_o offend_a cause_n though_o never_o so_o violent_a and_o numerous_a by_o the_o say_a quality_n

for_o a_o reward_n of_o obedience_n man_n be_v not_o to_o be_v deprive_v of_o that_o life_n eternal_a wherefore_o as_o the_o forbid_a tree_n once_o taste_v bring_v a_o necessity_n of_o death_n so_o

by_o god_n which_o i_o prove_v for_o the_o concurrence_n of_o god_n produce_v any_o thing_n necessary_o therefore_o it_o will_v produce_v necessary_o those_o two_o degree_n of_o cold_a while_o god_n

also_o will_v be_v increase_v and_o more_o degree_n of_o cold_a produce_v second_o the_o foresay_a answer_n be_v refute_v because_o either_o that_o supernatural_a quality_n will_v resist_v as_o a_o

that_o the_o moisture_n of_o water_n resist_v more_o than_o that_o of_o air_n because_o it_o be_v produce_v or_o flow_v more_o efficacious_o from_o the_o form_n of_o water_n than_o from_o that_o of_o

be_v join_v and_o therefore_o the_o resistance_n may_v yet_o be_v more_o vehement_a §_o 32._o from_o whence_o it_o be_v easy_o gather_v that_o the_o elemental_a quality_n produce_v in_o man_n body_n by_o the_o supra-elemental_a will_v both_o active_o and_o formal_o resist_v other_o contrary_n which_o be_v produce_v by_o ordinary_a intrinsic_a or_o extrinsic_a agent_n fire_n for_o example_n or_o
