every_o man_n be_v free_a in_o the_o commit_n of_o this_o or_o that_o particular_a sin_n though_o it_o be_v true_a in_o the_o general_n a_o evil_a tree_n can_v bring_v forth_o good_a fruit_n it_o be_v possible_a that_o a_o healthy_a man_n by_o disorder_n may_v fall_v into_o great_a sickness_n but_o a_o man_n of_o frail_a and_o infirm_a constitution_n be_v whole_o incline_v to_o sickness_n and_o disease_n as_o great_a nay_o a_o far_o great_a difference_n be_v between_o that_o liberty_n that_o adam_n have_v before_o his_o fall_n and_o what_o we_o now_o have_v he_o have_v a_o freedom_n to_o choose_v the_o good_a and_o to_o refuse_v the_o evil_a so_o have_v not_o we_o now_o but_o to_o take_v away_o the_o force_n of_o this_o answer_n he_o further_o argue_v that_o we_o can_v choose_v the_o good_a and_o as_o natural_o love_v good_a as_o evil_n and_o in_o some_o instance_n more_o a_o man_n can_v natural_o hate_v god_n if_o he_o know_v any_o thing_n of_o he_o a_o man_n natural_o love_v his_o parent_n he_o natural_o hate_v some_o sort_n of_o uncleanness_n repl._n we_o do_v not_o deny_v but_o by_o the_o general_a concurrence_n and_o assistance_n of_o god_n man_n since_o the_o fall_n have_v some_o ability_n to_o choose_v and_o love_v the_o good_a but_o what_o kind_n of_o good_a that_o which_o be_v ethical_a and_o moral_a but_o not_o that_o which_o be_v spiritual_a in_o the_o very_o best_a action_n that_o a_o natural_a man_n do_v when_o he_o give_v alm_n when_o he_o observe_v promise_n when_o he_o do_v perform_v any_o good_a he_o sin_n in_o the_o manner_n because_o his_o action_n do_v not_o proceed_v from_o sincere_a love_n neither_o be_v they_o direct_v to_o a_o right_a end_n the_o end_n of_o the_o commandment_n be_v love_n out_o of_o a_o pure_a heart_n a_o good_a conscience_n and_o faith_n unfeigned_a 1_o tim._n 1.5_o because_o a_o natural_a man_n want_v these_o principle_n his_o best_a action_n be_v stain_v with_o sin_n as_o strange_a as_o this_o doctrine_n seem_v to_o be_v there_o be_v none_o of_o we_o all_o but_o may_v find_v a_o truth_n of_o it_o in_o our_o own_o experience_n for_o let_v we_o hear_v read_v pray_v meditate_v give_v alm_n dispute_v for_o the_o truth_n reform_v error_n and_o abuse_n and_o do_v much_o good_a for_o the_o church_n yet_o we_o can_v have_v no_o comfort_n if_o our_o conscience_n once_o tell_v we_o that_o we_o do_v not_o these_o thing_n for_o god_n but_o for_o ourselves_o this_o be_v the_o very_a case_n of_o every_o natural_a man_n beside_o the_o sinisterity_n of_o end_n his_o action_n do_v not_o proceed_v from_o right_a principle_n and_o whereas_o he_o argue_v that_o a_o man_n can_v natural_o hate_v god_n if_o he_o know_v any_o thing_n of_o he_o if_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o excellency_n of_o god_n and_o his_o holiness_n in_o such_o a_o sense_n if_o man_n do_v know_v he_o they_o can_v not_o hate_v he_o for_o that_o they_o love_v he_o fear_v he_o obey_v he_o trust_v in_o he_o do_v all_o for_o he_o leave_v all_o for_o his_o sake_n this_o be_v ground_v upon_o the_o right_a knowledge_n of_o that_o excellency_n and_o goodness_n that_o be_v in_o himself_o and_o therefore_o since_o the_o fall_n the_o blindness_n of_o mind_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o mischief_n the_o will_n be_v perverse_a in_o her_o choice_n the_o affection_n be_v out_o of_o order_n because_o the_o judgement_n be_v not_o right_o inform_v in_o a_o low_a sense_n we_o do_v acknowledge_v that_o man_n may_v know_v some_o thing_n of_o god_n and_o their_o knowledge_n may_v be_v the_o ground_n of_o their_o hatred_n of_o god_n it_o may_v be_v with_o some_o wicked_a man_n as_o with_o the_o devil_n they_o believe_v there_o be_v one_o god_n and_o tremble_v but_o as_o to_o the_o choice_n of_o spiritual_a good_a he_o further_o say_v neither_o be_v adam_n case_n better_a than_o we_o in_o this_o particular_a for_o that_o his_o nature_n can_v not_o carry_v he_o to_o heaven_n or_o indeed_o to_o please_v god_n in_o order_n to_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v confess_v by_o they_o who_o have_v therefore_o affirm_v he_o to_o have_v a_o supernatural_a righteousness_n repl._n if_o the_o collation_n be_v between_o state_n and_o state_n adam_n have_v a_o power_n to_o understand_v that_o good_a which_o be_v spiritual_a tolove_n &_o choose_v it_o more_o than_o we_o now_o have_v since_o the_o fall_n the_o wise_a man_n say_v god_n make_v man_n upright_o but_o they_o have_v seek_v out_o many_o invention_n eccles_n 7._o ult_n he_o must_v needs_o speak_v of_o a_o spiritual_a uprightness_n contrary_a to_o the_o deceit_n that_o be_v to_o be_v find_v among_o thousand_o of_o man_n and_o woman_n and_o whereas_o he_o say_v that_o adam_n nature_n can_v not_o carry_v he_o to_o heaven_n if_o this_o be_v so_o god_n provide_v worse_o for_o he_o than_o for_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o creature_n the_o rest_n of_o the_o creature_n be_v make_v with_o such_o nature_n suitable_a to_o their_o end_n if_o therefore_o god_n do_v not_o make_v adam_n in_o a_o state_n someway_o fit_a for_o heaven_n why_o do_v he_o create_v he_o with_o a_o immortal_a soul_n this_o state_n plain_o show_v that_o have_v he_o stand_v or_o eat_v of_o the_o tree_n of_o life_n he_o shall_v have_v live_v for_o ever_o but_o fall_v he_o do_v run_v the_o hazard_n of_o the_o loss_n of_o that_o life_n that_o may_v have_v be_v have_v last_o if_o adam_n coald_v not_o have_v go_v to_o heaven_n in_o that_o nature_n that_o god_n have_v make_v he_o the_o fall_a short_a of_o eternal_a life_n can_v not_o have_v be_v any_o fault_n of_o his_o own_o and_o the_o blame_n will_v have_v lay_v on_o the_o creation_n be_v it_o rational_a for_o god_n to_o require_v adam_n to_o go_v to_o heaven_n and_o yet_o no_o way_n to_o make_v he_o suitable_a or_o fit_a for_o such_o a_o condition_n this_o be_v to_o require_v the_o whole_a tale_n of_o brick_n and_o to_o give_v no_o straw_n and_o for_o that_o tenet_n of_o the_o romish_a doctor_n i_o wonder_v that_o he_o shall_v stand_v upon_o it_o that_o adam_n be_v endue_v with_o supernatural_a righteousness_n in_o that_o sense_n at_o least_o as_o they_o understand_v it_o for_o look_v what_o righteousness_n adam_n have_v it_o be_v by_o creation_n the_o have_v stand_v he_o have_v propagate_v it_o to_o posterity_n the_o relic_n of_o the_o image_n of_o god_n do_v plain_o show_v in_o what_o state_n he_o be_v make_v in_o the_o beginning_n in_o the_o creation_n of_o man_n it_o be_v say_v he_o make_v all_o thing_n very_o good_a herb_n tree_n bird_n beast_n fish_n all_o these_o may_v be_v good_a in_o their_o kind_n though_o they_o be_v not_o make_v in_o a_o state_n fit_a to_o go_v to_o heaven_n but_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o adam_n can_v be_v make_v in_o a_o state_n very_o good_a but_o he_o must_v be_v some_o way_n fit_a for_o union_n with_o god_n in_o which_o all_o spiritual_a and_o eternal_a good_a do_v consist_v now_o he_o come_v to_o the_o main_a objection_n and_o here_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o it_o be_v certain_a there_o be_v not_o only_o one_o but_o many_o common_a principle_n from_o which_o sin_n derive_v itself_o into_o the_o manner_n of_o all_o man_n this_o he_o undertake_v to_o prove_v in_o opposition_n to_o our_o assertion_n who_o hold_v that_o the_o pravity_n and_o corruption_n of_o nature_n do_v flow_v from_o the_o disobedience_n of_o the_o first_o man_n but_o let_v we_o hear_v he_o speak_v in_o his_o own_o word_n the_o first_o great_a cause_n say_v he_o of_o a_o universal_a implety_n be_v that_o at_o first_o god_n have_v make_v no_o promise_n of_o heaven_n he_o have_v not_o propound_v any_o glorious_a reward_n to_o be_v as_o a_o argument_n to_o support_v the_o superior_a faculty_n against_o the_o inferior_a that_o be_v to_o make_v the_o will_v to_o choose_v the_o best_a &_o to_o leave_v the_o worst_a and_o to_o be_v as_o a_o reward_n for_o suffer_a contradiction_n and_o go_v on_o he_o further_o add_v this_o to_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o the_o general_a corruption_n of_o the_o old_a world_n because_o say_v he_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n in_o that_o period_n of_o the_o world_n therefore_o almost_o all_o flesh_n corrupt_v themselves_o except_v abel_n seth_n enos_n and_o enoch_n we_o find_v not_o one_o good_a man_n from_o adam_n to_o noah_n and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n call_v that_o world_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d the_o world_n of_o the_o ungodly_a it_o be_v not_o so_o much_o wonder_n that_o when_o adam_n have_v no_o promise_n make_v to_o enable_v he_o to_o contest_v his_o natural_a concupiscence_n he_o shall_v strive_v to_o make_v his_o condition_n by_o the_o devil_n promise_n reply_v it_o be_v true_a the_o apostle_n call_v the_o old_a world_n
