world he should not have gone to the world to come therefore by his fall he lost no happinesse nor eternall life in that world for he could not by that fall lose more than he had and was to have death is according to nature but to attain immortality is above nature Adam being earth and from the earth his enjoyment life and loss and punishment must of necessity be earthly how cometh he then by his fall to be capable of a punishment never to end unless by his fall he could purchase eternall life which none will affirm eternall life cannot be by the first man much less by Sin I deny not but the wages of sin is death Rom. 6. 23. there is a difference to be put between a naturall death and a judiciall death the first is from nature the second is from sinne if the common death that all die Hebr. 9. 27. were the punishment of sin as most men think then Christ by freeing his from the punishment of sin by bearing death for them of necessity he must free them from dying a naturall death but Christ freeth not his from a natural death yet freeth them from the punishment of sin therefore to die the common death is no part of the punishment of sinne for where sin is satisfied or pardoned or forgiven the punishment is not inflicted if it be how is it forgiven even men when they pardon inflict not the punishment all confess some mens sins are pardoned how then cometh it to passe that they die for sin whose sin is pardoned He that keepeth my saying shall not see death John 15. 21. is not to be referred to a naturall death but to perish a judiciall death John 3. 16. the Scripture declares that there shall be a Resurrection of the dead the just and unjust Acts 24. 15. the unjust would enter into life but shall not John 5. 20. Unto whom I swore in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest Psalm 94. 11. Hebrews 4. 7. and your selves thrust out Luke 13. 28. when they rise to judgement at the last day they shall be consumed with the earth by fire that 's their end so that not to enter to be thrust out the second death and to perish is one thing if they live for ever and have eternal life how do they perish and how is the end of those things death Rom. 6. 21. if there be no end to be carnally minded is death Rom. 8. 6. how is this true if they live for ever and not die Sin being a transgression of the Law is a legall sin and so is to have a legall punishment for some sins is death Rom. 6. 23. inflicted by God as Gen. 38. 9 10. and by man a legall death is not from nature but from sin and is a second death if a man for murder be put to death in dying he dieth the first and second death for in dying he dieth a naturall death and a judiciall death this later is a second death in that it is not from nature but from sin Men put the stresse of the punishment of sinne upon the second death but what that second death is they cannot agree among themselves the Ministers in their late Annotations on the Bible on Revel. 20. 9. on such the second death hath no power interpret it not to be destroyed by Antichrist nor by the Turk v. 9. so then according to their interpretation it is not a punishment never to end Mr. Perkins saith the second death is a totall separation from God if so it is not a punishment without end and in that God is every where Psal. 139. 7 8. if they be anywhere how are they absent from God If the second death be a death it is not a life of misery never to end that is not a death unless eternall life be a death they confess eternall life in misery is worse than death if so then it is not a death but another thing The fi●st death is the destruction of the body a separation of soul and body the second death must be like it the second death is an image of the first else how is it a death and a second death the second Adam being man was an image of the first the Scripture saith the second death is like the first Luke 6. 1. the second is like to it Matth. 22. 39. Therefore as the first death so the second is a separation of soul and body else how is it a death or a second death Reuben by going into his fathers bed deserved a judicial legal death but did not die for it Gen. 49. 3 4. 35. 22. 1 Chron. 5. 1. let Reuben live and not die Deut. 33. 6. a judicial or second death the Jewes Onkelos read Deut. 33. 6. let Reuben live and not die the second death and Ionathan on Isa. 65. 6. I will deliver their carkasses to the second death vers. 17. the Lord will slay them with the second death by which it appears the Jewes count the second death is to be slaine and if so it is not a life of misery never to end as some say the book of the Revelation speaks of the second death Doctor Featly and Dr. Ligh●foot and others say that book treats of the Church and things done in this world and if so then the second death is a punishment of this life they also interpret Heaven in that book to be the Church and the late Annotat. Bible and Mr. Brightman and others on Apo● 20. 10. say that the Devil in that place is the great Turk It is their opinion that say the wages of sin is not death they say it is a life of misery never to end which is worse and more than death therefore their opinion is contrary to the word that saith it is death filled with all unrighteousnesse haters of God despitefull proud inventers of evill things they that commit such things are worthy of death Rom. 1. 31 32. these are great sinners yet the word saith not that they are worthy of more then death and therefore why should any say they are worthy of more then death and if the end of these things are death Rom. 6. 21. therefore there is not any thing to come after death 2 Kings 7. 4. the soul that sinneth shall die Ezek. 18. 14. 26. that is all that sin doth bring forth God in giving his Law did express the punishment of the breach of it saying in the day that thou eatest of that tree thou shalt surely die Gen. 2. 17. dying thou shalt do that is naturally and judicially not touch it le●t ye die Gen. 3. 3. to bear iniquity is to dye for it Levit. 22. 9. Numb. 18. 22. that one man dye for the people Joh. 18. 14. the body is dead because of sin Rom. 8. 10. he that is dead is freed from sin Rom. 6. 7. neither sin nor punish●ent hath any thing to do with a dead man this iniquity shall

end that sin is punished in this life see Isa. 65. 3 to 16. Deut. 10. 17 18. Mich. 6. 10. Hag. 1. 6. Lamen 4. 6. I le punish the World for their iniquity they shall fall by the sword Isa. 13. 11 15 to 22. outward calamity death the punishment of sin Lam. 3. 39 1 Pet. 2. 14. recompence their sin to the ful Jer. 16. 18. for the violence of the sin of man when all flesh had corrupted his way God saith I will destroy them with the earth a flood of water to destroy all flesh Gen. 6. 11. 12. 17 to punish sin twice is as disagreeable to justice as to receive the payment of one debt twice 10. Because there is not a worse thing then the dregs of Gods fury anger and wrath and these are poured out in this life God doth not onely begin to punish sin in this life but also finish it in this life for it is said He poured out all his Fierce Anger he cast upon them the Fierceness of his anger wrath and indignation Psal. 78. 49. Death so it was poured out Esa. 42. 8. Ezek. 19. 22. Accomplished my fury Eze 8. 7. 8. it consumed them Ezek. 43. 18. for yet a very little while and mine indignation and anger shall cease in their destruction Jer. 10. 25. Wrath past Job 14. 13. taken away all Psal. 85. 3. he hath poured out all his Anger Lam. 4. 10 11. Zeph. 3 3. the punishment of their iniquity is Accomplished Lam. 4. 22. Ezek. 5. 13. 7. 8. 20. 21. the dregs of the cup of my fury accomplished Ezek. 13. 14 15. therefore there is no continuance of it after this life for when Aohan was dead it is said the Lord turned from the fierceness of his anger Jos. 6. 26. but if that they say were true his death was but the beginning of the Lords fierce anger Many infallible proofs that there is not to be a punishment after this life never to end Proof I. Because the Scriptures hold forth no such thing as hath been shewed we ought not to presume above that which is written Revealed things belong to us Deu. 29. 29 Proof II. Their opinion of a punishment never to end is contrary to the word of God in that it doth maintain that the wicked shall have eternal life if man was to live for ever why was the flaming sword set to keep the way of the Tree of Life Gen. 3. 24. Lest he put forth his hand and take of the Tree of Life and live for ever No eternal life came by the first Adam eternal life came by Jesus Christ who is the Tree of Life eternal Life promised and given by Jesus Christ eternal life by Jesus Christ Rom. 5. 21. and He that eateth of this bread sh●ll live for ever Joh. 6. 58. Because I live ye shall live also Iohn 14. 19. God sent his Son that we might live through him 1 Joh. 4. 9. onely believers have eternal life he that believeth on the Son hath eternal life he that believeth not the Son shall not see life Joh. 3. 36. whosoever believeth shall not perish but have everlasting life 1 Jo. 3. 14. 15 I give unto them eternal life they shall never perish Jo. 10 28. the wicked abide not for ever 1 Joh. 2. 17. if ye live after the ye shall die Romans 8. 13. him will God destroy in the Greek it is corrupt 1 Cor. 3. 17. the preaching of the Crosse is to them that perish Foolishness 2 Thessillon 2. 10. utterly perish 2 Peter 2. 14. Luke 11. 3. to their own destruction 2 Pet. 3. 16 abideth in death Rom 6. 21 23. they shall be destroyed for ever Psal. 99. 7. Joh 4. 20. if they perish and have not eternall life then they cannot live for ever God said Gen. 2. 17. if thou eatest thou shalt surely die but the Serpent said Gen. 3. 4. ye shall not die so the Serpent which is the Devil hath taught men to say as the Serpent said Now they have eaten they shall not die but shall live for ever and never die which is to say God is the lyar and that which the Devill said is truth the Word saith Him will God destroy Math. 21. 41. 1 Cor. 3. 17. 6. 13. they shall be destroyed 2 Pet. 2. 12. Swift destruction their end is destruction Phil. 3. 13. their opinion saith they shall never be destroyed die nor end which is no destruction The Word saith the last enemy is death 1 Cor. 15. 26. Their Opinion saith that is not the last there is an after that is much worse never to end it saith Gods anger is for ever he will never turn from it contrary to Jer. 3. 12. Psal. 50. 5. 89. 5. 78. 18. Mr. Bolton saith they sha●l suffer so long as God is God if so then they have eternall life though in misery whereas the Scripture doth not declare eternall life to be for all men Joh. 6. 45 47. Promised us eternal life 1 Joh. 2. 17 25. I give unto them eternal life to as many as thou hast given him Joh. 17. 2 3. in hope of eternal life Jo. 3. 15. As many as were ordained to eternal life believed Act. 13. 48. they that have done good unto the resurrection of life Joh. 5. 29. If it be granted that the wicked have not eternall life as hath been proved it wil follow that they cannot suffer for ever so long as God is God and therefore all their building of a punishment never to end falls grant the first and the later must needs follow If Adam had not sinned he should have died this is proved first because Adam in his creation had a naturall body 1 Cor. 15. 44. that which is natural is not eternal v. 46. he was of the earth earthly 57 48. therefore mortall and corruptible 53 54. Secondly Man in his first being was corporall and visible to be seen things ●een are not eternall Mr. Bolton saith if Adam had stood he could not have conveyed to us a body immortall or not dying in his Treatise of Heaven page 131. Basil saith if God had given Adam an immutable and unchangeable nature he had created a God and not a Man Augustine in his Book of Confessions saith because the Lord created man of nothing therefore he left in man a possibility to return into nothing if he obeyed not the will of his maker Thirdly Man in innocency needed food c. that which depends upon mutable and earthly things is earthly and mutable we see it in all other creatures that live upon perishing things at last perish and herein man by the first Adam hath no preeminence above a beast Heaven and Earth were created therefore had a beginning and although they have a much longer life than man are to have an end Heaven and earth shall be dissolved 2 Pet. 3. 12. If Adam had not died Rom. 5. 12. he should have continued in this
