yet_o do_v not_o please_v first_o because_o that_o word_n in_o its_o proper_a signification_n denote_v eternity_n but_o the_o word_n of_o holy_a writ_n unless_o some_o great_a inconvenience_n hinder_v

the_o state_n of_o innocence_n be_v life_n eternal_a not_o only_o a_o very_a long_a life_n but_o the_o tree_n of_o life_n be_v make_v by_o god_n to_o make_v good_a that_o life_n which_o be_v owe_v to_o man_n in_o the_o state_n of_o innocence_n therefore_o not_o only_o very_o long_a life_n but_o simple_o eternal_a life_n be_v to_o be_v make_v good_a by_o eat_v of_o that_o tree_n §_o 13._o and_o this_o be_v confirm_v first_o because_o god_n for_o that_o reason_n cast_v man_n out_o of_o paradise_n lest_o he_o shall_v enjoy_v that_o good_a which_o be_v due_a to_o he_o have_v he_o be_v

as_o god_n have_v declare_v in_o those_o word_n in_o the_o day_n that_o thou_o eat_v thereof_o thou_o shall_v sure_o die_v be_v life_n absolute_o eternal_a not_o only_o a_o very_a long_a one_o therefore_o the_o same_o life_n eternal_a must_v be_v make_v good_a by_o that_o tree_n second_o it_o be_v confirm_v because_o the_o punishment_n threaten_v man_n be_v the_o loss_n of_o life_n absolute_o eternal_a but_o god_n execute_v this_o punishment_n by_o the_o loss_n of_o the_o tree_n of_o life_n therefore_o this_o tree_n must_v give_v life_n absolute_o eternal_a otherwise_o it_o have_v not_o be_v necessary_a to_o deprive_v man_n of_o the_o eat_n of_o this_o tree_n §_o 14._o second_o the_o say_a opinion_n be_v demonstrate_v because_o if_o that_o tree_n have_v not_o continual_o

thou_o decaye_v altogether_o and_o do_v die_v therefore_o the_o tree_n of_o life_n do_v so_o make_v good_a eternal_a life_n that_o it_o will_v not_o suffer_v nature_n to_o fall_v a_o whit_n from_o

the_o quality_n of_o the_o tree_n of_o life_n may_v produce_v a_o effect_n durable_a time_n infinite_a §_o 17._o but_o you_o will_v urge_v this_o take_v not_o away_o the_o force_n of_o the_o

may_v seem_v necessary_a either_o to_o long_o or_o eternal_a life_n its_o own_o quality_n will_v have_v be_v allot_v for_o the_o vital_a faculty_n there_o will_v have_v be_v give_v one_o for_o the_o

there_o not_o a_o quality_n active_o preserve_v the_o union_n of_o part_n it_o may_v probable_o be_v affirm_v and_o it_o will_v have_v be_v so_o strong_a in_o preservation_n of_o the_o union_n of_o
