wherein his Integrity lay 1. Was not the Image of God fair drawn on his Affections Far be it from me or my Readers to socinianize in ascribing to God such Passions as are found in fallen Man Malachi 3.6 and carry the Print of Imperfections on 'em Dr. Owen 's Vindic. Evang When in Scripture he is said to be grieved angry c. This is spoken of him after the Manner of men and must be understood agreeably to the nature of God But though we would be loth to be chargeable with taking from God his Perfections and ascribing to him our Imperfections yet this we may say Man at first was in Loving and Hating an Imitator and Follower of God For Secondly Were not Man's Affections subordinate to right Reason and Religion as their Guides 3. Were they not right set and acted as to their Objects Were they not all at God's Service 4. Were they not all in their exercise referred to the last and best and the setting forth of God's Glory 5. Were they not harmonious Did not every one further the Exercise of other 6. Had they not Publickness in ' em had Man continued perfect had not mutual Love among Men reigned And can it be reasonably questioned whether whilst Man's Affections were on God's side his Communications were choice Had not Man at first the best Gratifications as for his Soul so for his Senses And now I First Infer It is no Wonder that Persons whose Hearts are so wrought on Gal. 5.24 that they take Religion to heart do take up bitter Lamentations for Man's Fall Ah! Ah! What sad Work hath sin made in Man's Affections Oh! the vain yea vile Affections that are in the World Rom 1.26 yea in the Church considered as visible Oh the Disorder Deadness Earthiness and Selfishness that is found it not felt in ' em and how is the spiritual and heavenly Trade thereby hindred and marr'd The 2d Inference is Satan will not fail to shew himself according to the Importance of his Name an Adversary By his ill Will he 'll prevent good 2. Cor. 2.11 and promote ill Affections May we not be ignorant of but armed against his Devices The 3d Inference is There is all Reason sensible Persons should run and have much recourse to Christ 1. Have they not need of being washed in his Blood from the guilt contracted as to their Affections 2. Should they not depend on his Spirit for the fanctifying and governing of their Affections Are not the Affections stiled the Materials of Grace Is it not much seated and seen in ' em Is it not through 'em we give to and receive from God and so trade with him The 8th Position That Man when innocent might have more free and full Communion with God there was an exact Temper and excellent Composition and Constitution of his Body Might not the Saying of David Psal 139.14 c. concerning his Body with much advantage be said of the Body of Adam Vide Poli Synopsin Fearfully and wonderfully was he made curiously wrought even as your rare Needle-Work I no way doubt Man's Soul which was his excellent part had the chiefest share both in the Holiness which he exercised and the Happiness which he enjoyed yet when it 's said Eccles 7. ult God made him upright or every way right this must necessarily take in his Body which is one of his constitutive parts I readily own that in and thro' the Body the Glory of the Soul doth shine and shew itself yet I believe that on it even on it from its Maker was a Glory shed 1. Had not Man's Body been serviceable to God Man had not been wholly so Was not God to be served with his own with the whole of it 2. So profound Dr. Bates Was there not in Man's first Estate Provision made whereby God gratify'd all his bodily Parts and Senses 3. Was not Man's Body as to the Matter of it of the purest part thereof and of all visible pieces of the Creation the choicest Was there not in it and that in the Eye of an Heathen so much of Excellency apparent Os homini sublime that he was for composing an Hymn to its Maker Have not its erect Posture and elevated Looks been looked at as in the count of its Excellencies Was not the Body of Adam as to the contrivance and proportion of every part admirable Was there any joint wanting or any one superfluous Did not every joint supply something and contribute to the good of the Body being fully fit to serve its Maker If Man had kept from Sin Rom. 6. ult 5.12 God had kept him from Death and from all the Sicknesses and Deaths that are ordinarily its Forerunners Did he not dig his Grave with his own hands And now I First Infer That Socinianism is by no means to be taken up or touch'd with O that some Dr. J. T. c. whom we will not call Socinians did not speak their Language or pronounce their Sibboleth Consequens naturas in saving that Death is the consequence of Nature and not the Punishment of Sin Be it considered Rom. 6. ult 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 1. If Scripture-Phrase and Doctrine be consulted with doth it make the wages of Sin due to it as a Souldiers pay is due to him And 2. Gen. 2.17 Doth not Scripture-History acquaint us that it was threatned and executed for Sin 3. Could not he that made the Body have made it though an Earthen an abiding Vessel 4. If there be now in it contrary Humours contending against one another and it was it so from the Beginning The 2d Inference is Even as to the Body and bodily Senses Man's Damage is great and evident Is it not now a body of Vileness Philip. 3. the End Is not the Spirit by its Distempers hindred in God's Service The 3d Inference Persons whilst in their Bodies should bear in mind for what end 1 Cor. 6. ult and in what capacity Man's Body was created should not their Bodies be ordered to the Honour of God The last Inference Dan. 12.2 3. It may well be wondred at that God hath provided a Glory for his Peoples Bodies as in Heaven he hath done The 9th Position Through the Fall and Fault of Man the Trade Intercourse and Communion between Heaven and Earth God and Man was interrupted yea stopp'd broke and spoiled 1. Gen. 3. Do we not find Adam when fallen shy of and shunning God's presence Did he not hide him self from him And 2. Gen. 3. Do we not find God conventing and convicting him as a Criminal Can we well construe that Question of his Hast thou eaten of the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil As if it was not to God unquestionable and certain Vide Dolum Rev. Whyte Ad locum that he had eaten of it Did not these Words tend to work in him Conviction of
