of_o the_o garden_n to_o live_v among_o the_o beast_n in_o the_o corruptible_a world_n which_o be_v compose_v not_o of_o pure_a element_n but_o of_o element_n elementate_v unequal_o proportion_v in_o

last_o one_o quality_n exceed_v another_o in_o his_o body_n as_o it_o do_v in_o the_o food_n which_o he_o take_v for_o sustenance_n so_o his_o body_n become_v subject_a to_o corruption_n after_o corruption_n to_o infirmity_n and_o sickness_n and_o after_o sickness_n to_o death_n beside_o we_o read_v gen._n 5.3_o that_o adam_n beget_v a_o son_n in_o his_o own_o likeness_n that_o be_v as_o we_o

that_o the_o child_n of_o weak_o and_o sickly_a parent_n seldom_o live_v long_o here_o by_o the_o way_n if_o we_o may_v digress_v little_a we_o conceive_v the_o reason_n 1._o why_o the_o patriarch_n in_o the_o primitive_a time_n live_v so_o long_o because_o the●●_n nature_n be_v corrupt_v by_o degree_n o●●_n quality_n exceed_v another_o by_o degree_n an●_n but_o very_o leisurely_o all_o

process_n of_o ●ime_n consider_v man_n life_n grow_v short_a and_o short_a and_o their_o nature_n weak_a and_o weak_a generation_n itself_o must_v needs_o cease_v and_o so_o the_o world_n rational_o come_v to_o a_o end_n 4._o all_o that_o we_o know_v can_v be_v object_v against_o this_o be_v from_o the_o prayer_n of_o moses_n psal_n 90.10_o man_n year_n be_v threescore_o and_o ten_o and_o if_o he_o live_v fourscore_o it_o be_v but_o labour_n and_o travel_v intimate_v that_o man_n live_v in_o moses_n his_o day_n no_o long_o then_o now_o they_o do_v but_o to_o that_o we_o answer_v thus_o 1._o we_o conceive_v that_o moses_n intend_v the_o year_n of_o his_o manhood_n not_o the_o year_n of_o his_o life_n for_o himself_o live_v much_o long_o 2._o the_o difference_n of_o the_o climate_n must_v also_o be_v consider_v which_o there_o be_v far_o hot_a therefore_o man_n life_n far_o short_a we_o be_v inform_v that_o 40_o year_n be_v a_o great_a age_n there_o now_o which_o be_v but_o the_o one_o half_o mention_v by_o moses_n 3._o hence_o we_o conceive_v the_o reason_n why_o not_o only_o the_o patriarch_n of_o old_a but_o also_o ancient_a philosopher_n be_v wise_a than_o now_o man_n be_v we_o know_v the_o animal_n spirit_n be_v form_v of_o nothing_o else_o but_o a_o mixture_n of_o blood_n &_o air_n so_o that_o man_n by_o breathe_v in_o a_o corrupt_a air_n and_o that_o be_v mix_v with_o corrupt_a blood_n must_v need_v make_v a_o corrupt_a animal_n spirit_n and_o b●_n consequence_n a_o corrupt_a understanding_n though_o we_o confess_v a_o great_a part_n of_o ou●_n corruption_n of_o understanding_n at_o present_a come_v by_o reason_n of_o a_o curse_n as_o we_o shall_v show_v hereafter_o which_o we_o hope_v shall_v speedy_o be_v do_v away_o because_o we_o have_v 〈◊〉_d promise_n dan._n 12.4_o that_o in_o the_o latter_a day_n many_o shall_v run_v to_o and_o fro_o and_o knowledge_n shall_v be_v increase_v to_o proceed_v 5._o the_o ancient_a philosopher_n find_v that_o the_o cause_n of_o this_o shortness_n of_o life_n proceed_v from_o corrupt_a food_n and_o the_o unequal_a temperature_n of_o the_o element_n and_o know_v that_o where_o pure_a element_n be_v join_v together_o equal_o in_o their_o virtue_n such_o a_o subject_n must_v needs_o be_v incorrupt_v in_o itself_o and_o therefore_o preserve_v a_o man_n that_o use_v it_o from_o corrupt_a on_o therefore_o they_o bend_v their_o study_n about_o find_v out_o such_o a_o principle_n in_o do_v which_o we_o conceive_v they_o take_v this_o course_n first_o they_o know_v that_o the_o whole_a creation_n be_v
