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 shall_v ever_o be_v take_v in_o their_o proper_a and_o genuine_a signification_n otherwise_o we_o shall_v have_v nothing_o certain_a second_o because_o the_o life_n which_o be_v owe_v to_o man_n in_o 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 obedient_a and_o persist_v in_o the_o state_n of_o innocence_n but_o that_o good_a due_a to_o the_o state_n of_o innocence_n whereof_o he_o be_v to_o be_v deprive_v if_o he_o be_v not_o obedient_a 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 keep_v off_o old_a age_n at_o least_o in_o its_o season_n repeat_v it_o will_v follow_v that_o in_o the_o state_n of_o innocence_n something_o will_v have_v be_v lose_v of_o nature_n vigour_n and_o man_n will_v have_v fall_v from_o the_o flower_n of_o their_o age_n to_o a_o worse_a condition_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o sacred_a text_n which_o say_v in_o the_o day_n that_o thou_o eat_v thereof_o thou_o shall_v sure_o die_v that_o be_v thou_o shall_v begin_v to_o decline_v to_o death_n or_o to_o decay_v from_o the_o integrity_n of_o nature_n as_o all_o author_n expound_v it_o until_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 her_o integrity_n therefore_o it_o will_v not_o only_o have_v give_v a_o long_a life_n but_o that_o apple_n will_v not_o suffer_v the_o least_o defect_n in_o nature_n §_o 15._o bellarmine_n b_o b_o judge_n either_o of_o these_o opinion_n probable_a and_o affirm_v they_o may_v be_v defend_v without_o heresy_n yet_o he_o be_v for_o the_o latter_a as_o i_o be_o to_o be_v the_o more_o eligible_a §_o 16._o therefore_o a_o man_n may_v answer_v the_o first_o argument_n for_o the_o opposite_a opinion_n thus_o that_o its_o cogency_n be_v as_o great_a in_o the_o beatific_a vision_n for_o that_o it_o

be_v no_o obstacle_n in_o the_o production_n of_o a_o effect_n which_o will_v endure_v time_n infinite_a that_o these_o cause_n be_v finite_a so_o also_o there_o can_v be_v no_o repugnance_n that_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 argument_n because_o a_o infinite_a duration_n be_v a_o infinite_a effect_n therefore_o it_o can_v be_v effect_v by_o a_o finite_a cause_n yet_o i_o deny_v the_o consequence_n because_o it_o may_v immediate_o be_v effect_v by_o a_o finite_a cause_n when_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n it_o depend_v on_o a_o cause_n infinite_a for_o the_o quality_n of_o the_o tree_n of_o life_n be_v to_o be_v

but_o see_v formal_a resistance_n consist_v in_o a_o formal_a incompossibility_n or_o repugnance_n and_o two_o contrary_a quality_n in_o the_o same_o intense_a degree_n for_o example_n heat_n and_o

that_o the_o moisture_n of_o water_n resist_v more_o than_o that_o of_o air_n because_o it_o be_v produce_v or_o flow_v more_o efficacious_o from_o the_o form_n of_o water_n than_o from_o that_o of_o
