the_o moral_a law_n in_o some_o thing_n that_o be_v positive_a and_o determine_v by_o the_o will_n of_o god_n mere_o do_v not_o bind_v all_o the_o nation_n in_o the_o world_n for_o howsoever_o the_o

to_o be_v sin_n have_v not_o the_o law_n say_v so_o although_o he_o have_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n to_o convince_v he_o of_o sin_n 4._o why_o it_o be_v now_o add_v the_o time_n when_o it_o be_v

as_o they_o be_v demonstrative_a of_o a_o duty_n which_o we_o be_v tie_v unto_o but_o can_v not_o perform_v and_o in_o this_o sense_n all_o those_o purification_n and_o cleansing_n be_v against_o we_o

be_v true_a indeed_o our_o learned_a writer_n show_v that_o the_o law_n in_o abrogate_a in_o respect_n of_o justification_n condemnation_n and_o rigour_n of_o obedience_n all_o which_o i_o shall_v instance_n in_o afterward_o but_o if_o a_o man_n will_v speak_v rigid_o he_o can_v say_v it_o be_v abrogate_a we_o may_v say_v it_o be_v mitigate_v as_o to_o our_o person_n though_o christ_n our_o

it_o than_o have_v it_o be_v proper_o abrogate_a whereas_o now_o see_v our_o surety_n be_v bind_v to_o satisfy_v it_o and_o perfect_o to_o obey_v it_o and_o we_o still_o oblige_v to_o conform_v unto_o it_o we_o can_v so_o proper_o in_o the_o general_n say_v it_o be_v abrogate_a therefore_o we_o may_v more_o proper_o say_v that_o there_o be_v a_o change_n and_o alteration_n in_o we_o towards_o the_o

have_v already_o prove_v against_o the_o antinomian_o that_o one_o part_n of_o the_o law_n may_v abide_v when_o the_o other_o do_v not_o rule_n the_o three_o proposition_n those_o that_o say_v the_o

as_o shall_v be_v hereafter_o show_v that_o the_o grace_n law_n give_v by_o moses_n be_v a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o that_o god_n do_v not_o since_o man_n fall_v ever_o transact_v with_o he_o

dispensation_n of_o god_n good_a pleasure_n so_o then_o the_o law_n as_o a_o covenant_n though_o of_o grace_n be_v abrogate_a because_o though_o there_o be_v still_o the_o same_o essence_n of_o the_o

whosoever_o therefore_o expect_v life_n and_o justification_n by_o the_o law_n he_o set_v up_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n again_o nor_o be_v it_o any_o advantage_n to_o say_v these_o work_n be_v

the_o law_n be_v from_o god_n as_o supreme_a and_o have_v absolute_a power_n and_o so_o require_v subjection_n the_o other_o arise_v from_o the_o love_n and_o goodness_n of_o god_n whereby_o he_o do_v

such_o distinction_n make_v of_o adam_n while_o innocent_a so_o as_o to_o be_v consider_v either_o in_o his_o natural_n or_o supernatural_n for_o this_o be_v affirm_v by_o some_o that_o adam_n may_v

that_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o that_o in_o adam_n such_o quality_n soul_n and_o action_n may_v be_v consider_v which_o do_v flow_v from_o he_o as_o a_o live_a creature_n endue_v with_o a_o

see_v no_o sin_n in_o we_o now_o to_o answer_v this_o i_o deny_v not_o but_o the_o orthodox_n sometime_o have_v use_v such_o expression_n and_o upon_o this_o ground_n because_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n as_o it_o be_v he_o be_v of_o infinite_a value_n and_o consequence_n and_o so_o as_o we_o be_v in_o a_o mediator_n we_o be_v in_o a_o better_a and_o sure_a condition_n than_o the_o angel_n or_o adam_n be_v but_o they_o never_o use_v such_o expression_n to_o the_o antinomian_a sense_n as_o if_o hereby_o we_o be_v make_v not_o only_o perfect_o righteous_a but_o also_o holy_a and_o without_o sin_n this_o opinion_n be_v at_o large_a to_o be_v refute_v in_o the_o treatise_n about_o justification_n only_o thus_o much_o take_v for_o a_o answer_n that_o the_o doctrine_n which_o hold_v the_o imputation_n of_o christ_n righteousness_n do_v not_o necessary_o infer_v that_o therefore_o we_o have_v righteousness_n more_o excellent_a than_o angel_n or_o adam_n for_o it_o be_v only_o impute_v to_o we_o for_o that_o righteousness_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o have_v it_o be_v not_o make_v we_o in_o that_o largeness_n or_o latitude_n as_o it_o be_v christ_n but_o as_o we_o need_v it_o now_o god_n never_o require_v of_o we_o such_o a_o holiness_n as_o the_o angel_n have_v or_o a_o great_a righteousness_n than_o adam_n have_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o senseless_a

understand_v in_o a_o sound_a sense_n 7._o whether_o that_o which_o god_n require_v of_o we_o be_v great_a then_o that_o he_o innocency_n demand_v of_o adam_n in_o the_o state_n of_o innocency_n for_o thus_o the_o arminian_n hold_v that_o great_a ability_n be_v now_o require_v of_o a_o man_n to_o believe_v the_o gospel_n than_o be_v of_o adam_n to_o fulfil_v the_o law_n partly_o because_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n do_v consist_v in_o mere_a revelation_n which_o the_o law_n do_v not_o as_o also_o because_o all_o the_o action_n require_v by_o the_o gospel_n do_v suppose_v a_o resurrection_n from_o that_o first_o fall_n now_o say_v they_o more_o be_v require_v to_o rise_v from_o a_o fall_n then_o to_o prevent_v a_o fall_n and_o all_o this_o they_o urge_v to_o prove_v the_o necessity_n of_o universal_a grace_n give_v to_o all_o now_o to_o answer_v this_o first_o i_o conclude_v as_o before_o have_v be_v prove_v that_o the_o nature_n of_o justify_v faith_n be_v in_o adam_n though_o there_o be_v not_o such_o a_o particular_a object_n about_o which_o it_o may_v be_v exercise_v for_o a_o thing_n may_v be_v for_o the_o nature_n of_o it_o and_o yet_o not_o have_v such_o a_o name_n which_o it_o have_v from_o a_o certain_a respect_n to_o some_o object_n that_o now_o be_v not_o or_o from_o some_o effect_n which_o it_o can_v now_o produce_v so_o mercy_n and_o grace_n be_v in_o god_n for_o the_o nature_n of_o it_o always_o but_o as_o it_o have_v respect_n to_o a_o miserable_a and_o wretched_a creature_n that_o be_v not_o till_o the_o creature_n be_v make_v so_o and_o so_o in_o adam_n there_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o love_n and_o pity_n but_o yet_o in_o regard_n of_o some_o effect_n which_o can_v not_o be_v exercise_v in_o that_o estate_n his_o love_n can_v have_v no_o such_o name_n as_o mercy_n or_o pity_n thus_o adam_n for_o his_o faith_n that_o faith_n which_o he_o do_v put_v forth_o in_o god_n promise_v about_o eternal_a life_n upon_o his_o obedience_n be_v a_o justify_v faith_n for_o the_o nature_n of_o it_o but_o have_v not_o the_o denomination_n or_o respect_n of_o justify_v because_o such_o a_o object_n be_v impossible_a in_o that_o condition_n hence_o that_o faith_n of_o dependency_n which_o adam_n have_v be_v the_o same_o in_o nature_n which_o justify_v faith_n be_v therefore_o to_o the_o argument_n propose_v we_o deny_v that_o great_a strength_n be_v require_v to_o rise_v then_o to_o keep_v from_o fall_v for_o the_o same_o thing_n which_o will_v have_v preserve_v adam_n from_o fall_v as_o faith_n in_o the_o first_o place_n the_o same_o also_o be_v require_v for_o a_o man_n to_o rise_v and_o as_o adam_n will_v have_v stand_v as_o long_o as_o his_o faith_n in_o god_n stand_v the_o devil_n labour_v to_o shake_v that_o by_o his_o temptation_n so_o christ_n pray_v for_o peter_n a_o man_n fall_v by_o adam_n do_v especial_o pray_v that_o his_o faith_n may_v not_o fail_v because_o by_o that_o he_o be_v support_v and_o strengthen_v last_o whether_o adam_n immortality_n in_o that_o estate_n be_v not_o different_a heaven_n from_o that_o which_o shall_v be_v in_o heaven_n yes_o it_o be_v very_o plain_a it_o be_v so_o for_o he_o be_v so_o immortal_a as_o that_o there_o be_v a_o possibility_n of_o mortality_n but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o with_o those_o that_o be_v glorify_v again_o he_o be_v so_o immortal_a as_o that_o he_o have_v a_o natural_a body_n which_o do_v need_v nourishment_n but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o with_o those_o that_o be_v make_v happy_a it_o be_v true_a we_o have_v heretofore_o conclude_v that_o adam_n in_o his_o first_o estate_n be_v natural_o immortal_a for_o if_o death_n have_v be_v natural_a god_n have_v be_v the_o author_n of_o death_n and_o man_n will_v not_o have_v abhor_v it_o neither_o do_v christ_n die_v simple_o because_o he_o be_v a_o man_n but_o because_o he_o be_v a_o man_n make_v for_o we_o who_o ought_v to_o die_v because_o of_o our_o sin_n indeed_o because_o adam_n do_v eat_v and_o drink_v and_o his_o body_n be_v a_o natural_a body_n therefore_o there_o be_v mortality_n in_o he_o in_o a_o remote_a power_n but_o actual_a mortality_n be_v hinder_v by_o reason_n of_o that_o glorious_a condition_n he_o be_v place_v in_o and_o therefore_o not_o actual_o to_o die_v but_o to_o be_v in_o a_o mortal_a state_n be_v threaten_v as_o a_o punishment_n to_o he_o of_o all_o
