heaven_n page_z 110._o i_o do_v full_o agree_v with_o you_o in_o this_o that_o the_o employment_n which_o god_n have_v to_o do_v for_o adam_n after_o the_o fall_n be_v as_o spiritual_a as_o before_o but_o then_o consider_v the_o ability_n do_v not_o lie_v in_o man_n but_o only_o in_o the_o lord_n christ_n and_o in_o the_o word_n of_o promise_n the_o true_a church_n do_v hold_v and_o ever_o have_v hold_v that_o the_o employment_n which_o god_n have_v now_o for_o every_o true_a believer_n be_v a_o spiritual_a employment_n yet_o they_o hold_v it_o also_o as_o a_o truth_n of_o the_o foundation_n that_o adam_n lose_v all_o ability_n to_o spiritual_a good_a but_o here_o you_o think_v you_o have_v a_o unanswerable_a argument_n for_o say_v you_o in_o that_o service_n which_o adam_n bid_v to_o do_v if_o he_o be_v complete_o furnish_v by_o god_n why_o shall_v i_o judge_v that_o he_o will_v employ_v he_o in_o a_o more_o hard_a service_n and_o not_o afford_v he_o suitable_a accommodation_n have_v god_n no_o other_o way_n to_o give_v adam_n and_o his_o posterity_n suitable_a accommodation_n to_o obey_v his_o command_n but_o there_o must_v be_v a_o necessity_n in_o it_o for_o he_o to_o retain_v the_o same_o ability_n after_o which_o he_o have_v before_o the_o fall_n when_o you_o thus_o endeavour_v to_o proportion_n ability_n to_o command_n in_o a_o natural_a way_n you_o overthrow_v the_o scope_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o main_a sense_n of_o the_o scripture_n which_o show_v that_o all_o ability_n be_v to_o be_v have_v from_o christ_n god_n have_v temper_v salvation_n and_o have_v so_o put_v it_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o christ_n that_o all_o that_o want_v ability_n shall_v go_v to_o he_o in_o the_o sense_n of_o their_o own_o misery_n and_o to_o this_o end_n he_o have_v suffer_v the_o first_o man_n to_o fall_v and_o to_o lose_v all_o natural_a ability_n that_o supply_n and_o help_n may_v be_v have_v from_o christ_n only_o in_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n this_o be_v the_o main_a scope_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o judge_v you_o now_o whether_o you_o do_v not_o go_v against_o the_o main_a foundation_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n when_o you_o teach_v such_o thing_n as_o these_o the_o examiner_n of_o the_o late_a synod_n confession_n of_o faith_n in_o the_o chapter_n of_o freewill_n sect._n 2._o be_v in_o a_o manner_n as_o foul_a as_o you_o for_o the_o synod_n have_v lay_v down_o this_o truth_n concern_v adam_n in_o the_o state_n of_o innocency_n that_o then_o he_o have_v a_o power_n and_o freedom_n to_o will_n that_o which_o be_v good_a and_o please_a to_o god_n but_o yet_o mutable_o the_o censor_n be_v not_o content_v with_o this_o but_o they_o seem_v to_o plead_v for_o the_o same_o liberty_n still_o in_o man_n after_o the_o fall_n these_o be_v their_o word_n that_o man_n in_o the_o state_n of_o innocency_n have_v freedom_n and_o power_n to_o will_n and_o do_v that_o which_o be_v good_a seem_v to_o we_o in_o some_o sort_n to_o hold_v true_a still_o of_o all_o man_n as_o they_o be_v now_o bear_v till_o they_o have_v personal_o and_o actual_o sin_v if_o this_o be_v so_o what_o need_n be_v there_o of_o a_o christ_n to_o sanctify_v and_o to_o regenerate_v and_o to_o take_v away_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o nature_n but_o now_o we_o will_v go_v along_o with_o you_o you_o say_v i_o judge_v the_o work_n that_o god_n set_v adam_n about_o before_o the_o fall_n he_o have_v a_o ability_n to_o do_v after_o the_o fall_n if_o god_n have_v but_o give_v he_o a_o command_n to_o return_v into_o the_o garden_n again_o page_z

to_o adam_n and_o in_o he_o to_o his_o posterity_n upon_o condition_n of_o perfect_a and_o personal_a obedience_n will_v you_o say_v then_o that_o he_o have_v ability_n to_o keep_v this_o covenant_n if_o god_n have_v give_v he_o liberty_n to_o return_v into_o the_o garden_n let_v we_o hear_v what_o ground_n you_o have_v for_o this_o god_n say_v you_o know_v well_o enough_o that_o adam_n have_v
