lie_v viz._n in_o degree_n of_o fertility_n i_o have_v endeavour_v also_o to_o discover_v the_o reason_n why_o this_o change_n be_v make_v in_o it_o for_o since_o that_o the_o process_n of_o it_o be_v so_o solemn_a and_o extraordinary_a that_o there_o be_v so_o many_o and_o those_o so_o strange_a thing_n do_v that_o the_o first_o earth_n be_v perfect_o unmake_v again_o take_v all_o to_o piece_n and_o frame_v anew_o and_o indeed_o the_o very_a same_o method_n that_o be_v use_v in_o the_o original_a formation_n of_o it_o use_v likewise_o in_o this_o renovation_n our_o earth_n stand_v the_o first_o step_n after_o its_o dissolution_n in_o the_o same_o posture_n that_o the_o primitive_a earth_n do_v the_o first_o step_n after_o its_o rise_n out_o of_o nothing_o which_o the_o reader_n will_v easy_o find_v by_o confer_v the_o five_o proposition_n of_o this_o part_n with_o gen._n i._o v._n 2._o and_o 9_o since_o likewise_o there_o be_v so_o mighty_a a_o hand_n 7._o concern_v and_o which_o do_v not_o act_n without_o great_a and_o weighty_a reason_n there_o can_v be_v no_o doubt_n but_o that_o there_o be_v some_o real_a and_o very_a necessary_a cause_n for_o the_o make_v that_o

and_o for_o who_o use_n it_o be_v make_v but_o when_o humane_a nature_n have_v by_o the_o fall_n suffer_v so_o great_a a_o change_n it_o be_v but_o necessary_a that_o the_o earth_n shall_v undergo_v a_o change_n too_o the_o better_a to_o accommodate_v it_o to_o the_o condition_n that_o mankind_n be_v then_o in_o and_o such_o a_o change_n the_o deluge_n bring_v to_o pass_v but_o least_o that_o the_o br●vity_n which_o i_o have_v above_o use_v and_o which_o indeed_o i_o be_o tie_v up_o to_o in_o my_o representation_n of_o this_o matter_n shall_v render_v it_o liable_a to_o misconstruction_n

i_o must_v beg_v leave_n to_o make_v a_o digression_n here_o that_o i_o may_v explain_v myself_o a_o little_a more_o upon_o that_o head_n and_o that_o the_o reader_n may_v himself_o be_v judge_n in_o

kind_n of_o plant_n but_o shall_v give_v it_o its_o full_a scope_n and_o grant_v that_o no_o less_o than_o a_o universal_a restraint_n and_o diminution_n of_o the_o primitive_a fruitfulness_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v intend_v by_o it_o this_o indeed_o seem_v to_o be_v the_o plain_a and_o genuine_a meaning_n of_o the_o word_n but_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o this_o curse_n be_v present_o inflict_v or_o not_o whether_o it_o be_v succeed_v with_o a_o universal_a sterility_n and_o the_o earth_n native_a and_o original_a exuberance_n all_o straghtway_n check_v and_o turn_v to_o as_o general_a a_o desolation_n and_o barrenness_n and_o here_o i_o entreat_v it_o may_v be_v take_v notice_n that_o this_o be_v but_o one_o and_o that_o much_o the_o lesser_a part_n of_o the_o sentence_n pass_v upon_o adam_n the_o other_o be_v death_n 22._o which_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a be_v not_o immediate_o inflict_v and_o yet_o this_o be_v pronounce_v at_o the_o same_o time_n and_o with_o the_o same_o breath_n that_o the_o other_o be_v unto_o dust_n shall_v thou_o return_v nay_o and_o much_o more_o emphatical_o a_o little_a before_o 17._o in_o the_o day_n that_o thou_o eat_v thereof_o thou_o shall_v sure_o die_v this_o be_v exceed_o peremptory_a and_o the_o very_a day_n fix_v likewise_o notwithstanding_o through_o the_o clemency_n and_o goodness_n of_o god_n execution_n be_v delay_v for_o a_o long_a time_n adam_n be_v reprieve_v for_o eight_o or_o nine_o hundred_o year_n 5._o the_o dominion_n of_o death_n over_o he_o commence_v indeed_o not_o only_o the_o same_o day_n that_o sentence_n be_v past_a but_o the_o very_a minute_n that_o he_o taste_v the_o forbid_a fruit_n and_o mortality_n go_v hand_n in_o hand_n with_o the_o transgression_n but_o it_o be_v a_o long_a time_n before_o it_o have_v raise_v any_o trophy_n or_o make_v a_o final_a and_o absolute_a conquest_n why_o therefore_o may_v we_o not_o as_o well_o suppose_v the_o other_o part_n of_o the_o sentence_n the_o sterilize_a the_o earth_n be_v also_o suspend_v for_o some_o time_n and_o defer_v till_o the_o deluge_n happen_v and_o become_v the_o executioner_n of_o it_o it_o be_v certain_o very_o hard_o to_o imagine_v that_o god_n shall_v destroy_v the_o work_n of_o his_o hand_n almost_o as_o soon_o as_o he_o have_v finish_v it_o that_o all_o thing_n shall_v be_v unhinged_a again_o by_o

show_v itself_o shall_v be_v nip_v in_o the_o bud_n and_o blast_v all_o of_o a_o sudden_a to_o be_v short_a it_o be_v i_o think_v most_o apparent_a that_o as_o on_o the_o other_o part_n mortality_n do_v present_o enter_v and_o take_v place_n but_o get_v not_o full_a possession_n of_o many_o age_n after_o so_o here_o thorn_n thistle_n and_o other_o the_o like_a consequence_n of_o this_o curse_n immediate_o spring_v out_o of_o the_o ground_n and_o manifest_v themselves_o on_o every_o side_n but_o it_o have_v not_o its_o full_a effect_n nor_o be_v the_o earth_n impoverish_v or_o its_o
