How this wonderful Preservation depended on the Tree of Life is hard to guess most probable it is that the Fruit of this Restorative Tree was most connatural to Man's Life easiest to be turned into and assimulated into his Substance endowed with a Preservative Power against all Decay by which our Lives had been lengthen'd out to a vast Longevity till it had pleased our Creator to have removed and transplanted us into Heaven For For ever does not imply Eternity but a long Duration of Time in Scripture as of the Servant whose Ear was bored through He shall be thy servant for ever Deut. 15. 17.
