A11363	A treatise of Paradise. And the principall contents thereof especially of the greatnesse, situation, beautie, and other properties of that place: of the trees of life, good and euill; of the serpent, cherubin, fiery sword, mans creation, immortalitie, propagation, stature, age, knowledge, temptation, fall, and exclusion out of Paradise; and consequently of his and our originall sin: with many other difficulties touching these points. Collected out of the holy Scriptures, ancient fathers, and other both ancient and moderne writers.	Salkeld, John, 1576-1660.	1617 (1617)	STC 21622; ESTC S116515	126,315	368

do_v most_o blasphemous_o accuse_v the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n as_o touch_v the_o foresaid_a commandment_n of_o abstain_v from_o the_o tree_n of_o good_a and_o evil_n for_o say_v he_o doubtless_o when_o

contradict_v the_o sentence_n of_o death_n as_o rash_o pronounce_v by_o himself_o against_o adam_n here_o we_o may_v see_v how_o as_o tertullian_n say_v god_n of_o his_o infinite_a goodness_n and_o

even_o in_o natural_a reason_n we_o answer_v that_o though_o all_o thing_n and_o consequent_o the_o disobedience_n of_o adam_n be_v perfect_o foreknown_a by_o god_n almighty_a yet_o nevertheless_o it_o be_v conformable_a to_o reason_n that_o adam_n be_v a_o reasonable_a creature_n shall_v have_v this_o law_n of_o obedience_n prescribe_v unto_o he_o so_o conformable_a to_o reason_n first_o for_o to_o manifest_v the_o absolute_a power_n dominion_n and_o authority_n of_o god_n the_o creator_n over_o his_o creature_n and_o the_o due_a subjection_n of_o the_o creature_n towards_o his_o creator_n second_o this_o law_n of_o obedience_n be_v most_o profitable_a unto_o man_n though_o foreknow_v that_o it_o be_v to_o be_v violate_v by_o man_n most_o profitable_a i_o say_v it_o be_v both_o in_o

object_n of_o the_o aforesaid_a attribute_n now_o if_o this_o law_n shall_v therefore_o have_v be_v omit_v because_o god_n fore-knew_a the_o transgression_n thereof_o by_o the_o same_o reason_n or_o rather_o no_o reason_n no_o other_o law_n shall_v have_v be_v prescribe_v unto_o man_n see_v there_o be_v no_o law_n either_o of_o nature_n or_o grace_n which_o god_n in_o his_o foreknowledge_n do_v not_o foresee_v will_v be_v oftentime_o violate_v by_o man_n furthermore_o as_o touch_v the_o blasphemy_n against_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v attribute_v to_o god_n as_o signify_v any_o passion_n or_o mutation_n in_o the_o immutable_a or_o impassable_a god_n but_o that_o this_o shadow_n of_o change_n or_o show_v of_o mutability_n be_v attribute_v

of_o death_n more_o move_v by_o mercy_n then_o of_o any_o anger_n or_o wrath_n which_o we_o may_v evident_o see_v in_o that_o he_o do_v not_o die_v the_o same_o day_n of_o his_o transgression_n

in_o regard_n of_o the_o sentence_n threaten_v to_o be_v inflict_v so_o immediate_o after_o their_o sin_n so_o that_o even_o in_o his_o justice_n we_o may_v magnify_v his_o mercy_n and_o say_v with_o
