he_o to_o be_v a_o public_a teacher_n he_o that_o so_o abuse_v the_o most_o plain_a scripture_n in_o print_n as_o i_o can_v show_v he_o do_v in_o a_o vast_a multitude_n of_o instance_n beside_o this_o what_o woeful_a work_n may_v we_o conclude_v he_o make_v with_o they_o in_o his_o ridiculous_a preachment_n he_o say_v that_o adam_n in_o his_o best_a and_o most_o sinless_a estate_n be_v 2._o a_o type_n and_o figure_n a_o type_n and_o figure_n doubtless_o in_o his_o sinless_a and_o holy_a estate_n a_o type_n or_o figure_n of_o the_o holiness_n of_o christ._n this_o must_v be_v take_v upon_o his_o own_o word_n he_o say_v doubtless_o it_o be_v so_o but_o give_v not_o one_o word_n of_o proof_n but_o suppose_v it_o be_v so_o it_o will_v be_v nothing_o to_o his_o purpose_n will_v this_o prove_v that_o adam_n holiness_n be_v of_o a_o different_a kind_n from_o the_o holiness_n of_o christian_n or_o of_o christ_n either_o but_o i_o say_v doubtless_o it_o be_v not_o so_o we_o only_o read_v that_o he_o be_v in_o his_o fall_a estate_n a_o figure_n and_o that_o be_v in_o rom._n 5._o 14._o by_o figure_n there_o be_v mean_v the_o opposite_a member_n in_o a_o comparison_n and_o there_o the_o reader_n may_v see_v how_o adam_n and_o christ_n be_v compare_v he_o say_v the_o holiness_n that_o be_v in_o adam_n and_o we_o lose_v in_o he_o 3._o be_v such_o as_o stand_v in_o and_o be_v manage_v by_o his_o natural_a perfect_a compliance_n with_o a_o covenant_n of_o work_n on_o the_o other_o side_n of_o the_o leaf_n he_o will_v acknowledge_v no_o more_o than_o that_o adam_n have_v the_o law_n write_v in_o his_o heart_n now_o we_o see_v he_o grant_v that_o he_o perfect_o comply_v with_o that_o law_n how_o thick_a be_v his_o ignorance_n that_o know_v not_o the_o difference_n between_o these_o two_o but_o what_o again_o be_v this_o to_o the_o purpose_n why_o 1._o say_v he_o adam_n holiness_n be_v a_o natural_a perfect_a compliance_n etc._n etc._n but_o prithee_o i._n b._n be_v it_o ever_o the_o worse_a for_o be_v natural_a be_v not_o the_o holiness_n of_o the_o good_a angel_n natural_a to_o they_o nay_o be_v not_o the_o holiness_n of_o god_n natural_a to_o he_o or_o be_v it_o therefore_o of_o a_o different_a kind_n from_o the_o holiness_n of_o christian_n because_o they_o be_v not_o natural_a i_o shall_v affront_v my_o reader_n shall_v i_o go_v about_o to_o prove_v to_o he_o that_o the_o different_a manner_n of_o receive_v these_o two_o do_v not_o make_v they_o to_o be_v of_o a_o different_a nature_n because_o adam_n be_v create_v with_o his_o holiness_n and_o the_o holiness_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v by_o regeneration_n or_o a_o new-birth_n be_v they_o not_o therefore_o of_o the_o same_o kind_n 2._o he_o say_v that_o the_o covenant_n christ_n bring_v in_o be_v a_o better_a covenant_n than_o adam_n a_o bless_a covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o he_o possess_v his_o child_n with_o the_o holiness_n and_o privilege_n of_o that_o covenant_n but_o i_o say_v the_o holiness_n that_o christ_n covenant_n of_o grace_n require_v be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n with_o that_o require_v in_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n but_o the_o difference_n be_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o former_a be_v true_a holiness_n and_o that_o of_o the_o latter_a be_v perfect_a holiness_n by_o virtue_n of_o the_o former_a sincerity_n be_v accept_v and_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o latter_a nothing_o short_a of_o perfection_n and_o so_o the_o holiness_n of_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o differ_v only_o in_o degree_n and_o the_o holiness_n require_v by_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v mean_a that_o it_o be_v as_o much_o above_o that_o which_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n accept_v as_o perfection_n be_v above_o sincerity_n he_o say_v the_o holiness_n that_o be_v in_o adam_n and_o that_o we_o lose_v by_o 4._o the_o fall_n be_v such_o as_o may_v stand_v with_o perfect_a ignorance_n of_o the_o mediation_n of_o christ_n for_o christ_n be_v not_o make_v know_v to_o adam_n as_o a_o saviour_n before_o he_o be_v a_o sinner_n what_o stuff_n be_v here_o again_o do_v this_o make_v the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o holiness_n to_o be_v of_o a_o different_a nature_n and_o be_v adam_n holiness_n ever_o the_o worse_a because_o it_o stand_v with_o perfect_a ignorance_n of_o christ_n mediation_n nay_o it_o be_v therefore_o far_o better_a than_o we_o can_v attain_v to_o in_o this_o life_n because_o he_o need_v no_o mediator_n he_o say_v the_o holiness_n that_o be_v in_o adam_n be_v never_o give_v 5._o he_o through_o the_o promise_n nor_o encourage_v by_o the_o promise_n adam_n have_v no_o promise_n to_o possess_v he_o with_o a_o principle_n of_o holiness_n it_o come_v to_o he_o by_o creation_n neither_o have_v he_o any_o promise_n to_o strengthen_v or_o encourage_v he_o in_o holiness_n but_o 1._o how_o do_v he_o know_v he_o be_v not_o encourage_v by_o a_o promise_n if_o god_n do_v make_v he_o a_o promise_n be_v he_o bind_v to_o tell_v we_o so_o 2._o there_o be_v a_o promise_n that_o if_o he_o do_v not_o eat_v of_o the_o tree_n he_o shall_v live_v employ_v in_o the_o threaten_n that_o if_o he_o do_v eat_v he_o shall_v die_v 3._o but_o suppose_v this_o to_o be_v true_a what_o be_v it_o to_o the_o purpose_n and_o what_o do_v it_o make_v for_o he_o to_o say_v that_o adam_n holiness_n be_v not_o give_v he_o through_o the_o

all_o this_o sottish_a prate_n together_o and_o thereby_o express_v his_o brutish_a contempt_n of_o the_o holiness_n we_o have_v lose_v in_o a_o word_n say_v he_o it_o be_v a_o natural_a shadowish_a old_a covenant_n promiseless_a holiness_n such_o as_o stand_v and_o may_v be_v walk_v in_o while_n he_o stand_v perfect_o ignorant_a of_o the_o mediator_n christ._n you_o see_v reader_n what_o a_o vile_a object_n of_o contempt_n he_o make_v himself_o he_o next_o p._n 26._o quarrel_v with_o that_o say_v before_o the_o 7._o description_n of_o holiness_n namely_o that_o the_o holiness_n that_o
