be_v a_o personal_a but_o a_o natural_a evil_n i_o be_o sure_a so_o the_o article_n of_o our_o church_n affirm_v it_o be_v the_o fault_n and_o corruption_n of_o our_o nature_n and_o so_o s._n

baptism_n do_v not_o take_v off_o the_o guilt_n from_o the_o nature_n than_o it_o do_v nothing_o now_o since_o your_o lordship_n be_v please_v in_o the_o behalf_n of_o the_o objector_n so_o wary_o to_o avoid_v what_o they_o think_v press_v i_o will_v take_v leave_n to_o use_v the_o advantage_n it_o minister_n for_o so_o the_o serpent_n teach_v we_o where_o to_o strike_v he_o by_o his_o so_o

where_o there_o be_v no_o guilt_n or_o else_o natural_a death_n be_v not_o it_o which_o god_n threaten_v as_o the_o punishment_n of_o adam_n fact_n for_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o all_o man_n die_v as_o well_o after_o baptism_n as_o before_o and_o more_o after_o then_o before_o that_o which_o will_v be_v proper_o the_o consequent_a of_o this_o dilemma_n be_v this_o that_o when_o god_n threaten_v death_n to_o adam_n say_v on_o the_o day_n thou_o eat_v of_o the_o tree_n thou_o shall_v die_v the_o death_n he_o inflict_v and_o intend_v to_o inflict_v the_o evil_n of_o a_o troublesome_a mortal_a life_n for_o adam_n do_v not_o die_v that_o day_n but_o adam_n begin_v to_o be_v miserable_a that_o day_n to_o live_v upon_o hard_a labour_n to_o eat_v fruit_n from_o a_o accurse_a field_n till_o he_o

willing_a to_o admit_v what_o the_o socinian_o answer_n in_o this_o argument_n who_o affirm_v that_o god_n threaten_v death_n to_o the_o sin_n of_o adam_n mean_v death_n eternal_a which_o be_v certain_o not_o true_a as_o we_o learn_v from_o the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n say_v in_o adam_n we_o all_o die_v which_o be_v not_o true_a of_o death_n eternal_a but_o it_o be_v true_a of_o the_o

this_o problem_n that_o which_o will_v have_v be_v have_v there_o be_v no_o sin_n and_o that_o which_o remain_v when_o the_o sin_n or_o guiltiness_n be_v go_v be_v not_o proper_o the_o punishment_n of_o the_o sin_n but_o dissolution_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o body_n shall_v have_v be_v if_o adam_n have_v not_o sin_v for_o the_o world_n will_v have_v be_v too_o little_a to_o have_v entertain_v those_o miriads_o of_o man_n which_o must_v in_o all_o reason_n have_v be_v bear_v from_o that_o blessing_n of_o increase_n and_o multiply_v which_o be_v give_v at_o the_o first_o creation_n and_o to_o have_v confine_v mankind_n to_o the_o pleasure_n of_o this_o world_n in_o case_n he_o have_v not_o fall_v will_v have_v be_v a_o punishment_n of_o his_o innocence_n but_o however_o it_o may_v

offer_v it_o to_o the_o consideration_n of_o inquisitive_a and_o modest_a person_n and_o now_o that_o i_o may_v return_v thither_o from_o whence_o this_o objection_n bring_v i_o i_o consider_v that_o if_o any_o shall_v urge_v this_o argument_n to_o i_o baptism_n deliver_v from_o original_a sin_n baptism_n do_v not_o deliver_v from_o concupiscence_n therefore_o concupiscence_n be_v not_o original_a sin_n i_o do_v not_o know_v well_o what_o to_o answer_v i_o can_v possible_o say_v something_o to_o satisfy_v the_o boy_n &_o young_a man_n at_o a_o public_a disputation_n but_o not_o to_o satisfy_v myself_o when_o i_o be_o upon_o my_o knee_n and_o give_v a_o account_n to_o god_n of_o all_o my_o secret_a and_o hearty_a persuasion_n but_o i_o consider_v that_o by_o concupiscence_n must_v be_v mean_v either_o the_o first_o inclination_n to_o their_o object_n or_o the_o proper_a act_n of_o election_n which_o be_v the_o second_o act_n of_o concupiscence_n if_o the_o first_o inclination_n be_v mean_v then_o certain_o that_o can_v be_v a_o sin_n which_o be_v natural_a and_o which_o be_v necessary_a for_o i_o consider_v that_o concupiscence_n and_o natural_a desire_n be_v like_o hunger_n which_o while_o it_o be_v natural_a and_o necessary_a be_v not_o for_o the_o destruction_n but_o conservation_n of_o man_n when_o it_o go_v beyond_o the_o limit_n of_o nature_n it_o be_v violent_a and_o a_o disease_n and_o so_o be_v concupiscence_n but_o desire_n or_o lusting_n when_o they_o be_v take_v for_o the_o natural_a propensity_n to_o their_o proper_a object_n be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v a_o sin_n that_o they_o be_v the_o instrument_n of_o felicity_n for_o this_o duration_n and_o when_o they_o grow_v towards_o be_v irregular_a they_o may_v if_o we_o please_v grow_v instrument_n of_o felicity_n in_o order_n to_o the_o other_o duration_n because_o they_o may_v serve_v a_o virtue_n by_o be_v restrain_v and_o to_o desire_v that_o to_o which_o all_o man_n tend_v natural_o be_v no_o more_o a_o sin_n then_o to_o desire_v to_o be_v happy_a be_v a_o sin_n desire_n be_v no_o more_o a_o sin_n then_o joy_n or_o sorrow_n be_v neither_o can_v it_o be_v fancy_v why_o one_o passion_n more_o than_o another_o can_v be_v in_o its_o whole_a nature_n criminal_a either_o all_o or_o none_o be_v so_o when_o any_o of_o they_o grow_v irregular_a or_o inordinate_a joy_n be_v as_o bad_a as_o desire_v and_o fear_v as_o bad_a as_o either_o but_o if_o by_o concupiscence_n we_o mean_v the_o second_o act_n of_o it_o that_o be_v avoidable_a consenting_n and_o deliberate_a election_n then_o let_v it_o be_v as_o much_o condemn_v as_o the_o apostle_n and_o all_o the_o church_n after_o he_o have_v sentence_v it_o but_o than_o it_o be_v not_o adam_n sin_n but_o our_o own_o by_o which_o we_o be_v condemn_v for_o it_o be_v not_o his_o fault_n that_o we_o choose_v if_o we_o choose_v it_o be_v our_o own_o if_o we_o choose_v not_o it_o be_v no_o fault_n for_o there_o be_v a_o natural_a act_n of_o the_o will_v as_o well_o as_o of_o the_o understanding_n and_o in_o the_o choice_n of_o the_o supreme_a good_a and_o in_o the_o first_o apprehension_n of_o its_o proper_a object_n the_o will_n be_v as_o natural_a as_o any_o other_o faculty_n and_o the_o other_o faculty_n have_v degree_n of_o adherence_n as_o well_o as_o the_o will_n so_o have_v the_o potestative_a and_o intellective_a faculty_n they_o be_v delight_v in_o their_o best_a object_n but_o because_o these_o only_o be_v natural_a and_o the_o will_n be_v natural_a sometime_o but_o not_o always_o there_o it_o be_v that_o a_o difference_n can_v be_v for_o i_o consider_v

they_o die_v without_o baptism_n but_o if_o it_o be_v a_o horrible_a affirmative_a to_o say_v that_o the_o poor_a babe_n shall_v be_v make_v devil_n or_o enter_v into_o their_o portion_n if_o they_o want_v that_o ceremony_n which_o be_v the_o only_a gate_n the_o only_a way_n of_o salvation_n that_o stand_v open_a then_o the_o word_n damnation_n in_o the_o 9_o article_n must_v mean_v something_o

they_o suppose_v the_o state_n of_o unbaptised_a infant_n to_o be_v a_o poena_fw-la damni_fw-la and_o they_o be_v confident_a enough_o to_o say_v that_o this_o may_v be_v well_o suppose_v without_o

admit_v this_o pain_n of_o loss_n or_o rather_o a_o deficiency_n from_o go_v to_o heaven_n to_o be_v the_o consequence_n of_o adam_n sin_n that_o by_o it_o we_o be_v leave_v in_o meris_fw-la

please_v to_o argue_v that_o as_o loss_n of_o sight_n or_o eye_n infer_v a_o state_n of_o darkness_n or_o blindness_n so_o the_o loss_n of_o heaven_n infer_v hell_n and_o if_o infant_n go_v not_o to_o heaven_n in_o that_o state_n whither_o can_v they_o go_v but_o to_o hell_n and_o that_o be_v damnation_n in_o the_o great_a sense_n i_o grant_v it_o that_o if_o in_o the_o event_n of_o thing_n they_o do_v not_o go_v to_o heaven_n as_o thing_n be_v now_o order_v it_o be_v but_o too_o likely_a that_o they_o go_v to_o hell_n but_o i_o add_v that_o as_o all_o darkness_n do_v not_o infer_v horror_n and_o distraction_n of_o mind_n or_o fearful_a apparition_n and_o phantasm_n so_o neither_o do_v all_o hell_n or_o state_n in_o hell_n infer_v all_o those_o torment_n which_o the_o schoolman_n signify_v by_o a_o poena_fw-la sensus_fw-la for_o i_o speak_v now_o in_o pursuance_n of_o their_o way_n so_o that_o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n of_o a_o three_o place_n but_o it_o conclude_v only_o that_o in_o the_o state_n of_o separation_n from_o god_n presence_n there_o be_v a_o great_a variety_n of_o degree_n and_o kind_n of_o evil_a and_o every_o one_o be_v not_o the_o extreme_a and_o yet_o by_o the_o way_n let_v i_o observe_v that_o gregory_n nazianzen_n and_o nicetas_n teach_v that_o there_o be_v a_o three_o place_n for_o infant_n and_o heathen_n and_o irenaeus_n affirm_v that_o the_o evil_n of_o hell_n be_v not_o eternal_a to_o all_o but_o to_o the_o devil_n only_o and_o the_o great_a criminal_o but_o neither_o they_o nor_o we_o nor_o any_o man_n else_o can_v tell_v whether_o hell_n be_v a_o place_n or_o no._n it_o be_v a_o state_n of_o evil_n but_o whether_o all_o the_o damn_a be_v in_o one_o or_o in_o twenty_o place_n we_o can_v tell_v but_o i_o have_v no_o need_n to_o make_v use_n of_o any_o of_o this_o for_o when_o i_o affirm_v that_o infant_n be_v by_o adam_n reduce_v and_o leave_v to_o their_o mere_a natural_a state_n fall_v short_a of_o heaven_n i_o do_v not_o say_v they_o can_v go_v to_o heaven_n at_o all_o but_o they_o can_v go_v thither_o by_o their_o natural_a power_n they_o can_v without_o a_o new_a grace_n and_o favour_n go_v to_o heaven_n but_o than_o it_o can_v present_o be_v infer_v that_o therefore_o they_o go_v to_o hell_n but_o this_o aught_o to_o be_v infer_v which_o indeed_o be_v the_o real_a consequent_a of_o it_o therefore_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o god_n grace_n shall_v supply_v this_o defect_n if_o god_n intend_v heaven_n to_o they_o at_o all_o and_o because_o nature_n can_v god_n send_v a_o saviour_n by_o who_o it_o be_v effect_v but_o if_o it_o be_v ask_v what_o if_o this_o grace_n have_v not_o come_v and_o that_o it_o be_v say_v that_o without_o god_n grace_n they_o must_v have_v go_v to_o hell_n because_o without_o it_o they_o can_v not_o go_v to_o heaven_n i_o answer_v that_o we_o know_v how_o it_o be_v now_o that_o god_n in_o his_o goodness_n have_v make_v provision_n for_o they_o but_o if_o he_o have_v not_o make_v such_o provision_n what_o will_v have_v be_v we_o know_v not_o any_o more_o than_o we_o know_v what_o will_v have_v follow_v if_o adam_n have_v not_o sin_v where_o he_o shall_v have_v live_v and_o how_o long_o and_o in_o what_o circumstance_n the_o posterity_n shall_v have_v be_v provide_v for_o in_o all_o their_o possible_a contingency_n but_o yet_o this_o i_o know_v that_o it_o follow_v not_o that_o if_o without_o this_o grace_n we_o can_v not_o have_v go_v to_o heaven_n that_o therefore_o we_o must_v have_v go_v to_o hel._n for_o although_o the_o first_o be_v ordinary_o impossible_a yet_o the_o second_o be_v absolute_o unjust_a and_o against_o god_n goodness_n and_o therefore_o more_o impossible_a but_o because_o the_o first_o can_v not_o be_v do_v by_o nature_n god_n be_v please_v to_o promise_v and_o to_o give_v his_o grace_n that_o he_o may_v bring_v we_o to_o that_o state_n whither_o he_o have_v design_v we_o that_o be_v to_o a_o supernatural_a felicity_n if_o adam_n have_v not_o fall_v yet_o heaven_n have_v not_o be_v a_o natural_a consequent_a of_o his_o obedience_n but_o a_o gracious_a it_o have_v be_v a_o gift_n still_o and_o of_o adam_n though_o he_o have_v persist_v in_o innocence_n it_o be_v true_a to_o say_v that_o without_o god_n grace_n that_o be_v by_o the_o mere_a force_n of_o nature_n he_o can_v never_o have_v arrive_v to_o a_o supernatural_a state_n that_o be_v to_o the_o joy_n of_o heaven_n and_o yet_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o if_o he_o have_v remain_v in_o innocence_n he_o must_v have_v go_v to_o hell_n just_o so_o it_o be_v in_o infant_n hell_n be_v not_o make_v for_o man_n but_o for_o devil_n and_o therefore_o it_o must_v be_v something_o beside_o mere_a nature_n that_o can_v bear_v any_o man_n thither_o mere_a nature_n go_v neither_o to_o heaven_n nor_o hell_n so_o that_o when_o i_o say_v infant_n natural_o can_v go_v to_o heaven_n and_o that_o this_o be_v a_o punishment_n of_o adam_n sin_n he_o be_v for_o it_o punish_v with_o a_o loss_n of_o his_o gracious_a condition_n and_o devolve_v to_o the_o state_n of_o nature_n and_o we_o by_o he_o leave_v so_o my_o meaning_n be_v that_o this_o damnation_n which_o be_v of_o our_o nature_n be_v but_o negative_a that_o be_v as_o a_o consequent_a of_o our_o patriarch_n sin_n our_o nature_n be_v leave_v imperfect_a and_o deficient_a in_o order_n to_o a_o

as_o well_o as_o thing_n but_o i_o affirm_v it_o be_v a_o evil_a effect_n of_o adam_n sin_n but_o in_o the_o event_n of_o thing_n it_o become_v to_o the_o person_n the_o way_n to_o a_o new_a grace_n
