of_o life_n the_o health_n of_o the_o body_n will_v have_v be_v defend_v from_o hunger_n thirst_v and_o want_v of_o air_n lest_o namely_o man_n shall_v perish_v for_o want_v of_o meat_n drink_v or_o

that_o be_v for_o attraction_n retention_n coction_n and_o expulsion_n that_o to_o wit_n they_o may_v operate_v most_o perfect_o while_o their_o operation_n be_v necessary_a and_o after_o the_o same_o

translate_v from_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n to_o glory_n and_o immortality_n as_o scotus_n a_o think_v §_o 2._o they_o prove_v this_o opinion_n first_o the_o virtue_n of_o that_o tree_n will_v have_v be_v finite_a in_o that_o it_o be_v create_v therefore_o it_o can_v not_o produce_v a_o infinite_a effect_n second_o if_o that_o tree_n have_v have_v a_o virtue_n to_o preserve_v man_n to_o eternity_n that_o virtue_n will_v have_v be_v useless_a because_o no_o man_n in_o the_o state_n of_o innocence_n shall_v have_v live_v for_o ever_o in_o this_o world_n but_o after_o a_o appoint_a

the_o radical_a moisture_n and_o the_o waste_a substance_n entire_a and_o by_o consequence_n can_v not_o preserve_v life_n to_o eternity_n §_o 4._o four_o though_o the_o tree_n of_o life_n may_v for_o

they_o can_v not_o be_v remit_v if_o god_n do_v not_o desist_v from_o his_o concurrence_n for_o the_o reason_n why_o they_o be_v corrupt_v when_o a_o hot_a agent_n come_v be_v because_o god_n in_o

of_o a_o finite_a virtue_n therefore_o there_o be_v no_o inconvenience_n that_o a_o resistance_n may_v be_v which_o surpass_v their_o power_n see_v therefore_o such_o a_o resistance_n be_v possible_a whereby_o the_o wood_n of_o life_n may_v defend_v man_n body_n from_o death_n and_o that_o the_o sacred_a text_n do_v clear_o intimate_v that_o it_o be_v a_o adequate_a cause_n of_o immortality_n

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

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
