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

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

afterward_o have_v be_v partaker_n of_o the_o celestial_a eternal_o with_o his_o creator_n hence_o we_o see_v how_o impious_o god_n be_v accuse_v of_o wickedness_n and_o envy_n in_o the_o forbid_v of_o our_o first_o father_n the_o eat_n of_o the_o tree_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a see_v that_o the_o eat_n of_o this_o fruit_n be_v indifferent_a of_o its_o own_o nature_n as_o out_o of_o which_o neither_o good_a nor_o evil_n can_v proceed_v but_o that_o which_o god_n do_v regard_n in_o this_o commandment_n be_v our_o obedience_n or_o disobedience_n in_o respect_n of_o which_o he_o be_v after_o a_o manner_n indifferent_a neither_o absolute_o decree_a the_o one_o neither_o effectual_o will_v the_o other_o only_o this_o we_o may_v add_v that_o god_n do_v desire_n and_o will_v our_o
