a_o oath_n that_o by_o two_o immutable_a thing_n in_o which_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o god_n to_o lie_v that_o we_o may_v have_v strong_a consolation_n who_o flee_v for_o refuge_n to_o lay_v

give_v to_o the_o saint_n a_o undissolved_a relation_n to_o he_o in_o the_o object_n of_o justification_n to_o be_v as_o mount_v zion_n which_o shall_v never_o be_v move_v be_v these_o the_o first_o

from_o the_o effect_n to_o the_o cause_n from_o the_o whole_a creation_n to_o the_o creator_n according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o perfection_n of_o the_o creation_n as_o to_o he_o in_o who_o he_o and_o they_o do_v live_v move_v and_o have_v their_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o thus_o to_o operate_v be_v his_o natural_a righteousness_n be_v because_o it_o be_v right_o according_a to_o the_o

to_o the_o perfection_n of_o the_o creature_n in_o the_o holiness_n man_n original_a holiness_n purity_n of_o his_o perfect_a love_n to_o god_n in_o all_o through_o all_o and_o above_o all_o live_v not_o so_o much_o among_o the_o perfection_n of_o the_o creature_n where_o he_o be_v as_o in_o god_n who_o he_o so_o love_v and_o the_o reason_n why_o in_o these_o perfection_n of_o love_n be_v contain_v his_o natural_a holiness_n be_v this_o because_o by_o it_o he_o do_v not_o only_o set_v god_n above_o all_o creature_n but_o also_o by_o it_o he_o do_v right_o dedicate_v himself_o to_o god_n use_v only_o and_o alone_o with_o all_o his_o soul_n with_o all_o his_o heart_n and_o with_o all_o his_o strength_n for_o it_o be_v the_o property_n of_o love_n to_o add_v to_o the_o perfection_n of_o the_o thing_n love_v more_o than_o to_o itself_o as_o we_o see_v in_o jonathan_n and_o moses_n etc._n etc._n that_o adam_n have_v this_o in_o the_o perfection_n of_o it_o be_v prove_v thus_o if_o all_o love_n in_o man_n general_o do_v arise_v from_o that_o agreeablenesse_n which_o be_v between_o the_o subject_n and_o the_o object_n as_o certain_o it_o do_v then_o in_o adam_n most_o of_o all_o because_o to_o he_o the_o subject_a god_n the_o object_n do_v shine_v in_o all_o the_o perfection_n of_o the_o creation_n in_o a_o suitable_a agreeablenesse_n in_o all_o thing_n in_o all_o respect_n as_o before_o be_v prove_v therefore_o in_o adam_n there_o be_v the_o truth_n of_o that_o perfect_a love_n to_o god_n again_o and_o not_o only_o the_o truth_n but_o the_o uttermost_a extent_n of_o love_n in_o the_o strength_n thereof_o for_o if_o the_o beauty_n of_o the_o object_n be_v transparent_a to_o the_o subject_a will_v draw_v forth_o all_o the_o strength_n which_o be_v in_o the_o subject_a to_o itself_o as_o in_o i●nathan_n to_o david_n 32.32_o 2_o sam._n 1.26_o exod._n 32.32_o and_o moses_n to_o god_n then_o much_o more_o do_v it_o draw_v forth_o adam_n love_n to_o god_n as_o the_o most_o transparent_a object_n of_o beauty_n be_v a_o object_n of_o infinite_a goodness_n excitive_o draw_v out_o his_o soul_n in_o all_o his_o strength_n in_o a_o like_n and_o unite_n affection_n in_o all_o through_o all_o and_o above_o all_o and_o from_o this_o principle_n in_o his_o mind_n do_v natural_o law_n natural_o the_o first_o original_n of_o the_o first_o table_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n spring_v the_o first_o table_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n namely_o to_o love_n god_n with_o all_o the_o soul_n and_o with_o all_o the_o strength_n and_o here_o i_o will_v note_v these_o five_o observation_n for_o conclusion_n of_o this_o chapter_n first_o that_o man_n in_o his_o innocency_n in_o the_o perfection_n of_o his_o righteousness_n and_o holiness_n be_v but_o the_o receiver_n of_o all_o his_o good_a as_o his_o be_v passive_o by_o creation_n and_o his_o blessedness_n active_o by_o reception_n as_o by_o his_o sense_n his_o reason_n will_n and_o affection_n he_o enjoy_v god_n and_o what_o have_v he_o that_o he_o have_v not_o receive_v for_o it_o be_v proper_a to_o god_n alone_o to_o be_v be_v and_o blessedness_n in_o himself_o and_o of_o himself_o therefore_o both_o man_n and_o angel_n be_v but_o receiver_n of_o all_o their_o good_a from_o god_n second_o here_o observe_v that_o the_o perfection_n of_o the_o creation_n in_o the_o estate_n of_o pure_a natural_n have_v no_o dependency_n upon_o adam_n personal_a perfection_n or_o his_o perfect_a operation_n whereby_o they_o can_v keep_v or_o lose_v their_o create_a perfection_n by_o he_o therefore_o it_o be_v from_o some_o other_o cause_n whereby_o they_o become_v subject_a to_o fall_v into_o vanity_n for_o in_o this_o estate_n adam_n depend_v upon_o they_o for_o the_o support_n of_o his_o personal_a perfection_n and_o operation_n but_o not_o they_o upon_o he_o for_o they_o be_v create_v in_o their_o flourish_a perfection_n before_o adam_n be_v all_o be_v make_v first_o in_o their_o immediate_a dependency_n upon_o god_n but_o he_o last_v therefore_o in_o this_o estate_n they_o have_v no_o such_o dependency_n upon_o he_o three_o here_o observe_v that_o man_n perfect_a in_o holiness_n and_o righteousness_n do_v not_o by_o false_a apprehension_n interpose_v the_o good_a in_o the_o creature_n betwixt_o god_n and_o he_o to_o cut_v off_o his_o bless_a union_n of_o love_n to_o god_n nor_o god_n from_o he_o for_o he_o by_o that_o perfect_a love_n load_v himself_o and_o all_o that_o create_v good_a in_o go●_n from_o who_o it_o come_v and_o so_o return_v to_o god_n the_o glor●_n of_o all_o his_o work_n which_o he_o have_v create_v and_o make_v and_o so_o give_v god_n full_a content_n four_o observe_v that_o in_o the_o estate_n of_o perfect_a creation_n of_o the_o world_n god_n establish_v his_o glory_n to_o return_v to_o he_o in_o a_o mutual_a concordancie_n of_o man_n good_a and_o no_o otherwise_o and_o therefore_o the_o state_n of_o creation_n produce_v man_n good_a and_o no_o evil_a for_o god_n look_v upon_o all_o and_o see_v it_o be_v all_o good_a as_o like_v it_o well_o five_o observe_v that_o although_o adam_n do_v believe_v god_n to_o be_v be_v and_o blessedness_n in_o himself_o and_o of_o himself_o and_o communicate_v all_o blessedness_n to_o he_o yet_o this_o estate_n to_o adam_n be_v not_o a_o estate_n of_o faith_n for_o adam_n belief_n of_o all_o this_o do_v arise_v to_o he_o by_o natural_a demonstration_n from_o the_o perfection_n of_o the_o creation_n according_a with_o the_o perfection_n of_o his_o sense_n and_o reason_n and_o so_o to_o his_o will_n therefore_o all_o to_o he_o be_v but_o natural_a but_o in_o a_o estate_n of_o faith_n to_o live_v by_o faith_n in_o god_n first_o for_o the_o thing_n believe_v it_o must_v be_v supernatural_a second_o man_n his_o mind_n must_v depend_v for_o the_o attain_v of_o it_o upon_o the_o credit_n he_o give_v to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o only_o declare_v the_o thing_n to_o he_o but_o so_o be_v not_o this_o estate_n and_o therefore_o this_o be_v not_o a_o estate_n of_o faith_n to_o adam_n but_o his_o next_o estate_n to_o this_o be_v a_o estate_n of_o faith_n namely_o the_o work_n of_o the_o covenant_n which_o be_v the_o next_o ground_n to_o be_v treat_v of_o and_o so_o much_o for_o adam_n first_o estate_n be_v natural_o perfect_a in_o all_o chap._n ii_o open_v the_o covenant_n between_o god_n and_o man_n god_n have_v reveal_v to_o moses_n the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n he_o in_o the_o next_o place_n make_v know_v to_o he_o a_o garden_n that_o be_v plant_v by_o god_n himself_o without_o the_o help_n of_o man_n in_o which_o place_n come_v in_o the_o second_o estate_n of_o adam_n before_o his_o fall_n and_o his_o entrance_n into_o this_o garden_n be_v to_o enter_v into_o covenant_n with_o god_n and_o god_n with_o he_o for_o good_a and_o evil_a for_o this_o estate_n do_v not_o propose_v good_a only_o to_o adam_n as_o do_v the_o estate_n of_o creation_n eternity_n creation_n adam_n be_v by_o god_n fit_o enable_v to_o perform_v the_o covenant_n in_o the_o behalf_n of_o god_n and_o the_o world_n before_o god_n call_v he_o to_o so_o weighty_a a_o business_n and_o the_o reason_n why_o god_n lead_v adam_n from_o one_o perfect_a state_n to_o a_o high_a a●e_v primary_o two_o first_o because_o the_o create_a perfection_n of_o this_o world_n can_v not_o direct_v or_o admit_v he_o to_o enjoy_v god_n answerable_a to_o his_o vast_a comprehension_n be_v a_o spirit_n so_o near_o the_o angelical_a nature_n second_o because_o god_n be_v delight_v to_o receive_v his_o glory_n at_o as_o high_a a_o pitch_n as_o his_o reasonable_a creature_n can_v apprehend_v or_o comprehend_v its_o felicity_n to_o all_o eternity_n but_o good_a and_o evil_a be_v in_o the_o covenant_n propound_v unto_o he_o i_o call_v it_o a_o covenant_n
