command_n be_v not_o issue_v by_o the_o keeper_n surreptitious_o or_o of_o his_o own_o head_n and_o against_o the_o prince_n mind_n and_o law_n but_o so_o as_o the_o prince_n himself_z prudens_fw-la &_o sciens_fw-la do_v witting_o and_o willing_o as_o the_o doctor_n here_o suppose_v give_v way_n to_o the_o issue_v of_o it_o this_o be_v as_o much_o to_o all_o intent_n and_o purpose_n the_o

therefore_o afford_v not_o the_o least_o parallel_n to_o the_o doctor_n chimaera_n of_o a_o permissive_a command_n from_o god_n nor_o do_v it_o prove_v the_o term_n to_o be_v good_a much_o less_o very_a good_a and_o warrantable_a sense_n have_v i_o leisure_n to_o be_v sportful_a i_o will_v scan_v those_o pretty_a word_n of_o he_o invent_v as_o if_o on_o purpose_n pro_fw-la ridiculo_fw-la &_o

yet_o come_v to_o they_o only_o by_o his_o connivance_n and_o permission_n this_o i_o understand_v to_o be_v a_o permissive_a command_n wherefore_o let_v some_o body_n else_o ask_v he_o first_o how_o permissive_a can_v be_v understand_v to_o be_v permissive_a and_o yet_o not_o contradistinct_a to_o injunctive_a second_o how_o that_o can_v be_v a_o oblige_a injunction_n which_o come_v but_o by_o

3_o can_n be_v right_o say_v to_o be_v the_o command_n of_o god_n here_o he_o say_v be_v right_o say_v to_o be_v the_o permissive_a command_n of_o god_n but_o let_v this_o pass_v have_v produce_v his_o aphorism_n he_o present_o fall_v a_o crow_n in_o this_o fashion_n this_o assertion_n i_o hope_v to_o all_o indifferent_a judge_n will_v appear_v both_o true_a and_o modest_a that_o it_o be_v true_a be_v false_o say_v which_o appear_v by_o what_o i_o have_v allege_v against_o his_o proof_n of_o it_o that_o it_o be_v modest_a whatever_o the_o doctor_n hope_n be_v it_o will_v never_o seem_v such_o till_o the_o world_n can_v so_o far_o dote_v as_o to_o believe_v that_o one_o repugnant_a thing_n do_v signify_v another_o that_o to_o command_n be_v to_o permit_v and_o to_o permit_v be_v to_o command_v that_o permissive_a may_v signify_v injunctive_a and_o injunctive_a permissive_a that_o boldness_n of_o innovation_n may_v signify_v madesty_n &_o vice_fw-la versâ_fw-la and_o that_o therefore_o the_o one_o may_v without_o impudence_n be_v use_v for_o the_o other_o well_o but_o as_o true_a and_o modest_a as_o it_o be_v he_o dare_v not_o trust_v it_o abroad_o in_o that_o garb_n which_o in_o his_o forego_v section_n he_o take_v such_o large_a pain_n to_o trim_v it_o in_o his_o conscience_n prick_v the_o man_n on_o to_o say_v something_o more_o though_o god_n know_v just_a

his_o creature_n not_o by_o a_o positive_a particular_a exertion_n of_o his_o power_n upon_o the_o creature_n but_o only_o by_o a_o effectual_a permission_n of_o secondary_a cause_n but_o this_o only_o entangle_v he_o in_o a_o far_a absurdity_n as_o i_o have_v somewhere_o hint_v before_o and_o must_v since_o the_o doctor_n here_o lead_v i_o to_o it_o declare_v again_o for_o if_o god_n permission_n of_o secondary_a cause_n be_v god_n command_n than_o god_n command_v all_o the_o sin_n in_o the_o world_n the_o doctor_n therefore_o must_v be_v content_a to_o grant_v that_o god_n permission_n be_v no_o more_o than_o permission_n and_o not_o jumble_v permit_v and_o command_v together_o in_o his_o contradictious_a notion_n of_o command_v permissive_o for_o if_o he_o think_v to_o get_v off_o by_o call_v this_o permission_n a_o effectual_a permission_n his_o device_n will_v fail_v he_o see_v the_o sin_n which_o god_n permit_v be_v effectual_o permit_v if_o he_o will_v so_o speak_v else_o they_o can_v not_o be_v act_v upon_o his_o permission_n but_o this_o effectualness_n be_v not_o from_o any_o positive_a operation_n of_o god_n but_o of_o those_o the_o doctor_n term_v the_o secondary_a cause_n namely_o finner_n themselves_o now_o though_o god_n know_v that_o if_o he_o withdraw_v his_o restrain_v goodness_n those_o secondary_a cause_n will_v certain_o produce_v sinful_a effect_n yet_o he_o may_v in_o his_o justice_n and_o for_o reason_n know_v to_o himself_o withdraw_v that_o his_o restrain_v goodness_n nor_o can_v he_o therefore_o be_v charge_v to_o be_v a_o effectual_a concurrer_n to_o those_o sin_n see_v those_o second_o cause_n be_v suppose_v to_o be_v free_a agent_n and_o only_o bias_v to_o perverseness_n by_o their_o own_o prevail_a corruption_n in_o his_o 18_o sect._n he_o sum_v up_o what_o he_o have_v premise_v in_o five_o particular_n in_o the_o four_o whereof_o he_o fall_v upon_o a_o new_a shift_n to_o palliate_v the_o odiousness_n of_o his_o position_n viz._n the_o injunction_n and_o command_n may_v right_o be_v conceive_v to_o lie_v rather_o upon_o that_o part_n of_o the_o religion_n that_o be_v unexceptionable_o true_a then_o upon_o what_o be_v erroneous_a he_o suppose_v thus_o much_o truth_n in_o the_o false_a religion_n convey_v by_o god_n as_o to_o acknowledge_v one_o true_a god_n and_o life_n to_o come_v and_o a_o
