fate_n or_o manner_n of_o perish_v and_o not_o of_o their_o different_a nature_n or_o constitution_n here_o be_v two_o main_a point_n you_o see_v wherein_o our_o interpretation_n of_o this_o discourse_n of_o the_o apostle_n differ_v first_o in_o that_o they_o make_v the_o apostle_n in_o that_o six_o verse_n to_o understand_v only_o the_o world_n animate_v or_o man_n and_o brute_n creature_n that_o these_o be_v indeed_o destroy_v but_o not_o the_o natural_a world_n or_o the_o form_n and_o constitution_n of_o the_o then_o earth_n and_o heaven_n second_o that_o there_o be_v no_o diversity_n or_o opposition_n make_v by_o s._n peter_n betwixt_o the_o ancient_a heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o the_o present_a as_o to_o their_o form_n and_o constitution_n we_o pretend_v that_o these_o be_v mis-apprehension_n or_o mis-representation_n of_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o both_o respect_n and_o offer_v these_o reason_n to_o prove_v they_o to_o be_v so_o for_o the_o first_o point_n that_o the_o apostle_n speak_v here_o of_o the_o natural_a world_n particular_o in_o the_o 6_o verse_n and_o that_o it_o perish_v as_o well_o as_o the_o animate_v these_o consideration_n seem_v to_o prove_v first_o because_o the_o argument_n or_o ground_n these_o scoffer_n go_v upon_o be_v take_v from_o the_o natural_a world_n its_o constancy_n and_o permanency_n in_o the_o same_o state_n from_o the_o beginning_n therefore_o if_o the_o apostle_n answer_v ad_fw-la idem_fw-la and_o take_v away_o their_o argument_n he_o must_v understand_v the_o same_o natural_a world_n and_o show_v that_o it_o have_v be_v change_v or_o have_v perish_v you_o will_v say_v it_o may_v be_v the_o apostle_n do_v not_o deny_v nor_o take_v away_o the_o ground_n they_o go_v upon_o but_o deny_v the_o consequence_n they_o make_v from_o it_o that_o therefore_o there_o will_v be_v no_o change_n because_o there_o have_v be_v none_o no_o neither_o do_v he_o do_v this_o if_o by_o the_o world_n in_o the_o 6_o ver_fw-la he_o understand_v mankind_n only_o for_o their_o ground_n be_v this_o there_o have_v be_v no_o change_n in_o the_o natural_a world_n their_o consequence_n this_o therefore_o there_o will_v be_v none_o nor_o any_o conflagration_n now_o the_o apostle_n answer_n according_a to_o you_o be_v this_o you_o forget_v that_o mankind_n have_v be_v destroy_v in_o a_o deluge_n and_o what_o then_o what_o be_v this_o to_o the_o natural_a world_n whereof_o they_o be_v speak_v this_o take_v away_o neither_o antecedent_n nor_o consequent_a neither_o ground_n nor_o inference_n nor_o any_o way_n touch_v their_o argument_n which_o proceed_v from_o the_o natural_a world_n to_o the_o natural_a world_n therefore_o you_o must_v either_o suppose_v that_o the_o apostle_n take_v away_o their_o ground_n or_o he_o take_v away_o nothing_o second_o what_o be_v it_o that_o the_o apostle_n tell_v these_o scoffer_n they_o be_v ignorant_a of_o that_o there_o be_v a_o deluge_n that_o destroy_v mankind_n they_o can_v not_o be_v ignorant_a of_o that_o nor_o pretend_v to_o be_v so_o it_o be_v therefore_o the_o constitution_n of_o those_o old_a heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o the_o change_n or_o destruction_n of_o they_o at_o the_o deluge_n that_o they_o be_v ignorant_a of_o or_o do_v not_o attend_v to_o and_o of_o this_o the_o apostle_n mind_v they_o these_o scoffer_n appear_v to_o have_v be_v jew_n by_o the_o phrase_n they_o use_v since_o the_o father_n fall_v asleep_a which_o in_o both_o part_n of_o it_o be_v a_o judaical_a expression_n and_o do_v s._n peter_n tell_v the_o jew_n that_o have_v moses_n read_v to_o they_o every_o sabbath_n that_o they_o be_v ignorant_a that_o mankind_n be_v once_o destroy_v with_o a_o deluge_n in_o the_o day_n of_o noah_n or_o can_v they_o pretend_v to_o be_v ignorant_a of_o that_o without_o make_v themselves_o ridiculous_a both_o to_o jew_n and_o christian_n beside_o these_o do_v not_o seem_v to_o have_v be_v of_o the_o vulgar_a among_o they_o for_o they_o bring_v a_o philosophical_a argument_n for_o their_o opinion_n loc_n and_o also_o in_o their_o very_a argument_n they_o refer_v to_o the_o history_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n in_o say_v since_o the_o father_n fall_v asleep_a among_o which_o father_n noah_n be_v one_o of_o the_o most_o remarkable_a three_o the_o design_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v to_o prove_v to_o they_o or_o to_o dispose_v they_o to_o the_o belief_n of_o the_o conflagration_n or_o future_a destruction_n of_o the_o world_n which_o i_o suppose_v you_o will_v not_o deny_v to_o be_v a_o destruction_n of_o the_o natural_a world_n therefore_o to_o prove_v or_o persuade_v this_o he_o must_v use_v a_o argument_n take_v from_o a_o precedent_a destruction_n of_o the_o natural_a world_n for_o to_o give_v a_o instance_n of_o the_o perish_v of_o mankind_n only_o will_v not_o reach_v home_o to_o his_o purpose_n and_o you_o be_v to_o observe_v here_o that_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o proceed_v against_o they_o bare_o by_o authority_n for_o what_o will_v that_o have_v boot_v if_o these_o scoffer_n will_v have_v submit_v to_o authority_n they_o have_v already_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n in_o this_o point_n but_o he_o deal_v with_o they_o at_o their_o own_o weapon_n and_o oppose_v reason_n to_o reason_n what_o have_v be_v do_v may_v be_v do_v and_o if_o the_o natural_a world_n have_v be_v once_o destroy_v it_o be_v not_o hard_a nor_o unreasonable_a to_o suppose_v those_o prophecy_n to_o be_v true_a that_o say_v it_o shall_v be_v destroy_v again_o four_o unless_o we_o understand_v here_o the_o natural_a world_n we_o make_v the_o apostle_n both_o redundant_fw-la in_o his_o discourse_n and_o also_o very_o obscure_a in_o a_o easy_a argument_n if_o his_o design_n be_v only_o to_o tell_v they_o that_o mankind_n be_v once_o destroy_v in_o a_o deluge_n what_o be_v that_o to_o the_o heaven_n and_o the_o earth_n the_o 5_o verse_n will_v be_v superfluous_a which_o yet_o he_o seem_v to_o make_v the_o foundation_n of_o his_o discourse_n he_o may_v have_v tell_v they_o how_o mankind_n have_v perish_v before_o with_o a_o deluge_n and_o aggravate_v that_o destruction_n as_o much_o as_o he_o please_v without_o tell_v they_o how_o the_o heaven_n and_o the_o earth_n be_v constitute_v then_o what_o be_v that_o to_o the_o

he_o do_v before_o that_o god_n bring_v a_o flood_n upon_o the_o world_n of_o the_o ungodly_a and_o not_o give_v we_o so_o much_o difficulty_n to_o understand_v his_o sense_n or_o such_o a_o
