only_o they_o say_v he_o be_v mortal_a as_o the_o socinian_o or_o immortal_a by_o a_o mere_a supernatural_a gift_n of_o god_n but_o a_o thing_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v immortal_a several_a way_n

see_v no_o sin_n in_o we_o now_o to_o answer_v this_o i_o deny_v not_o but_o the_o orthodox_n sometime_o have_v use_v such_o expression_n and_o upon_o this_o ground_n because_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n as_o it_o be_v he_o be_v of_o infinite_a value_n and_o consequence_n and_o so_o as_o we_o be_v in_o a_o mediator_n we_o be_v in_o a_o better_a and_o sure_a condition_n than_o the_o angel_n or_o adam_n be_v but_o they_o never_o use_v such_o expression_n to_o the_o antinomian_a sense_n as_o if_o hereby_o we_o be_v make_v not_o only_o perfect_o righteous_a but_o also_o holy_a and_o without_o sin_n this_o opinion_n be_v at_o large_a to_o be_v refute_v in_o the_o treatise_n about_o justification_n only_o thus_o much_o take_v for_o a_o answer_n that_o the_o doctrine_n which_o hold_v the_o imputation_n of_o christ_n righteousness_n do_v not_o necessary_o infer_v that_o therefore_o we_o have_v righteousness_n more_o excellent_a than_o angel_n or_o adam_n for_o it_o be_v only_o impute_v to_o we_o for_o that_o righteousness_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o have_v it_o be_v not_o make_v we_o in_o that_o largeness_n or_o latitude_n as_o it_o be_v christ_n but_o as_o we_o

thus_o the_o arminian_n hold_v that_o great_a ability_n be_v now_o require_v of_o a_o man_n to_o believe_v the_o gospel_n than_o be_v of_o adam_n to_o fulfil_v the_o law_n partly_o because_o the_o

necessity_n of_o universal_a grace_n give_v to_o all_o now_o to_o answer_v this_o first_o i_o conclude_v as_o before_o have_v be_v prove_v that_o the_o nature_n of_o justify_v faith_n be_v in_o adam_n though_o there_o be_v not_o such_o a_o particular_a object_n about_o which_o it_o may_v be_v exercise_v for_o a_o thing_n may_v be_v for_o the_o nature_n of_o it_o and_o yet_o not_o have_v such_o a_o name_n which_o it_o have_v from_o a_o certain_a respect_n to_o some_o object_n that_o now_o be_v not_o or_o from_o some_o effect_n which_o it_o can_v now_o produce_v so_o mercy_n and_o grace_n be_v in_o god_n for_o the_o nature_n of_o it_o always_o but_o as_o it_o have_v respect_n to_o a_o miserable_a and_o wretched_a creature_n that_o be_v not_o till_o the_o creature_n be_v make_v so_o and_o so_o in_o adam_n there_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o love_n and_o pity_n but_o yet_o in_o regard_n of_o some_o effect_n which_o can_v not_o be_v exercise_v in_o that_o estate_n his_o love_n can_v have_v no_o such_o name_n as_o mercy_n or_o pity_n thus_o adam_n for_o his_o faith_n that_o faith_n which_o he_o do_v put_v forth_o in_o god_n promise_v about_o eternal_a life_n upon_o his_o obedience_n be_v a_o justify_v faith_n for_o the_o nature_n of_o it_o but_o have_v not_o the_o denomination_n or_o respect_n of_o justify_v because_o such_o a_o object_n be_v impossible_a in_o that_o condition_n hence_o that_o faith_n of_o dependency_n which_o adam_n have_v be_v the_o same_o in_o nature_n which_o justify_v faith_n be_v therefore_o to_o the_o argument_n propose_v we_o deny_v that_o great_a strength_n be_v require_v to_o rise_v then_o to_o keep_v from_o fall_v for_o the_o same_o thing_n which_o will_v have_v preserve_v adam_n from_o fall_v as_o faith_n in_o the_o first_o place_n the_o same_o also_o be_v require_v for_o a_o man_n to_o rise_v and_o as_o adam_n will_v have_v stand_v as_o long_o as_o his_o faith_n in_o god_n stand_v the_o devil_n labour_v to_o shake_v that_o by_o his_o temptation_n so_o christ_n pray_v for_o peter_n a_o man_n fall_v by_o adam_n do_v especial_o pray_v that_o his_o faith_n may_v not_o fail_v because_o by_o that_o he_o be_v support_v and_o strengthen_v last_o whether_o adam_n immortality_n in_o that_o estate_n be_v not_o different_a heaven_n from_o that_o which_o shall_v be_v in_o heaven_n yes_o it_o be_v very_o plain_a it_o be_v so_o for_o he_o be_v so_o immortal_a as_o that_o there_o be_v a_o possibility_n of_o mortality_n but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o with_o those_o that_o be_v glorify_v again_o he_o be_v so_o immortal_a as_o that_o he_o have_v a_o natural_a body_n which_o do_v need_v nourishment_n but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o with_o those_o that_o be_v make_v happy_a it_o be_v true_a we_o have_v heretofore_o conclude_v that_o adam_n in_o his_o first_o estate_n be_v natural_o immortal_a for_o if_o death_n have_v be_v natural_a god_n have_v be_v the_o author_n of_o death_n and_o man_n will_v not_o have_v abhor_v it_o neither_o do_v christ_n die_v simple_o because_o he_o be_v a_o man_n but_o because_o he_o be_v a_o man_n make_v for_o we_o who_o ought_v to_o die_v because_o of_o our_o sin_n indeed_o because_o adam_n do_v eat_v and_o drink_v and_o his_o body_n be_v a_o natural_a body_n therefore_o there_o be_v mortality_n in_o he_o in_o a_o remote_a power_n but_o actual_a mortality_n be_v hinder_v by_o reason_n of_o that_o

such_o be_v god_n covenant_n not_o to_o drown_v the_o world_n and_o god_n covenant_n with_o day_n and_o night_n yea_o god_n covenant_n with_o abraham_n do_v induce_v a_o obligation_n and_o tie_n

to_o do_v as_o god_n command_v whether_o he_o will_v agree_v or_o no._n that_o adam_n consent_n be_v not_o necessary_a to_o make_v the_o covenant_n valid_a do_v appear_v in_o that_o he_o be_v bind_v to_o accept_v what_o god_n do_v require_v and_o it_o be_v indeed_o dispute_v whether_o adam_n do_v so_o much_o as_o know_v and_o if_o he_o do_v not_o know_v he_o can_v not_o consent_v that_o god_n

we_o consider_v how_o god_n can_v be_v say_v to_o covenant_n he_o or_o enter_v into_o a_o promise_n with_o man_n for_o it_o may_v be_v think_v a_o imperfection_n and_o hereby_o god_n may_v seem_v to_o lose_v his_o right_n that_o he_o can_v do_v what_o he_o will_n but_o this_o may_v be_v easy_o answer_v for_o if_o god_n can_v give_v good_a thing_n to_o man_n he_o may_v also_o promise_v to_o give_v they_o and_o therefore_o both_o to_o give_v and_o to_o promise_v to_o give_v be_v act_n of_o liberality_n and_o dominion_n and_o so_o not_o repugn_v to_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n nor_o do_v god_n by_o promise_v to_o give_v lose_v his_o dominion_n no_o more_o than_o he_o do_v by_o give_v it_o be_v true_a a_o promise_n do_v induce_v a_o obligation_n and_o so_o in_o man_n it_o be_v with_o some_o imperfection_n but_o in_o god_n it_o be_v not_o because_o he_o do_v not_o hereby_o become_v oblige_v to_o we_o but_o to_o his_o own_o self_n so_o that_o we_o have_v not_o a_o right_a of_o justice_n to_o the_o thing_n because_o god_n have_v promise_v it_o to_o we_o but_o only_o god_n can_v deny_v himself_o nor_o his_o word_n and_o therefore_o we_o be_v confident_a and_o so_o aquinas_n well_o deus_fw-la non_fw-la est_fw-la debtor_n quia_fw-la ad_fw-la alia_fw-la non_fw-la ordinatur_fw-la sed_fw-la omne_fw-la ad_fw-la ipsum_fw-la god_n by_o covenant_v and_o promise_v do_v not_o become_v a_o

of_o it_o as_o when_o two_o man_n agree_v that_o be_v equal_a and_o therefore_o a_o debt_n of_o justice_n arise_v between_o they_o and_o one_o may_v implead_v the_o other_o but_o as_o a_o merciful_a condescension_n on_o god_n part_n to_o promise_v such_o thing_n to_o we_o that_o so_o we_o may_v be_v the_o more_o confirm_v in_o our_o hope_n in_o he_o hence_o durand_n and_o ariminensis_n labour_v to_o prove_v that_o god_n promise_n do_v not_o induce_v a_o obligation_n but_o denote_v the_o disposition_n of_o god_n to_o give_v although_o their_o argument_n exclude_v only_o a_o debt_n of_o justice_n from_o god_n therefore_o although_o in_o the_o covenant_n god_n make_v with_o man_n there_o be_v a_o compact_n of_o mutual_a fidelity_n yet_o there_o be_v not_o a_o reciprocal_a and_o equal_a right_n of_o covenant_v because_o of_o the_o inequality_n of_o the_o covenanter_n so_o that_o the_o whole_a disposition_n and_o order_n of_o the_o covenant_n with_o such_o condition_n be_v on_o god_n part_n and_o not_o man_v hence_o it_o be_v call_v god_n covenant_n and_o not_o man_n 4._o consider_v why_o god_n will_v deal_v with_o man_n in_o a_o covenant_n way_n rather_o than_o in_o a_o mere_a absolute_a supreme_a way_n there_o may_v be_v these_o reason_n 1._o that_o god_n may_v hereby_o sweeten_v and_o endear_v himself_o to_o we_o for_o he_o whereas_o he_o may_v require_v all_o obedience_n from_o we_o and_o annihilate_v we_o at_o last_o or_o at_o least_o not_o vouchsafe_v heaven_n and_o ever_o last_a happiness_n to_o show_v how_o good_a and_o love_a he_o be_v he_o will_v reward_v that_o most_o bountiful_o which_o be_v otherwise_o due_a to_o he_o for_o god_n do_v not_o make_v man_n because_o he_o need_v he_o but_o that_o there_o may_v be_v object_n to_o who_o he_o

may_v be_v to_o incite_v and_o encourage_v adam_n the_o obedience_n more_o to_o obedience_n for_o howsoever_o there_o be_v no_o sin_n in_o adam_n or_o remissness_n yet_o this_o may_v serve_v as_o a_o
