the_o supernatural_a prefiguration_n of_o the_o covenant_n 3._o and_o will_v in_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o elect_a angel_n by_o the_o most_o immediate_a expression_n of_o his_o essential_a perfection_n whence_o observe_v that_o god_n essential_a glory_n essential_o consider_v be_v unperceiveable_a by_o man_n and_o angel_n and_o only_o know_v to_o himself_o and_o the_o ground_n be_v by_o reason_n of_o that_o vast_a distance_n that_o be_v between_o a_o infinite_a essence_n and_o creature_n that_o be_v at_o best_a but_o finite_a but_o yet_o further_o observe_v that_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o god_n do_v expressive_o manifest_v himself_o to_o man_n and_o angel_n by_o object_n suitable_a to_o their_o apprehension_n so_o far_o forth_o he_o be_v to_o they_o a_o object_n of_o love_n and_o most_o tranquil_a consolation_n and_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o he_o appear_v such_o a_o good_a and_o much_o more_o than_o they_o can_v comprehend_v so_o far_o forth_o he_o be_v to_o man_n and_o angel_n a_o object_n of_o divine_a worship_n and_o adoration_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a so_o far_o as_o god_n do_v shadow_n out_o himself_o to_o man_n and_o angel_n in_o object_n proceed_v against_o they_o and_o contrary_a to_o they_o and_o more_o than_o their_o apprehension_n can_v comprehend_v so_o farforth_o he_o be_v to_o man_n and_o angel_n a_o object_n of_o dolour_n dread_n and_o ever_o sink_v desperation_n second_o observe_v that_o in_o either_o estate_n adam_n can_v not_o convey_v to_o his_o posterity_n more_o than_o what_o himself_o enjoy_v therefore_o as_o in_o his_o second_o estate_n by_o covenant_n he_o can_v not_o convey_v his_o natural_a perfection_n alone_o if_o he_o have_v keep_v covenant_n but_o both_o natural_a and_o supernatural_a joint_o together_o because_o than_o his_o natural_a holiness_n be_v a_o mean_n by_o improvement_n to_o a_o supernatural_a
and_o the_o same_o therefore_o man_n mere_o moral_a and_o of_o a_o civil_a life_n must_v beware_v leave_v they_o perish_v eternal_o by_o this_o deceit_n for_o man_n may_v not_o be_v far_o from_o the_o

i_o will_v note_v these_o five_o observation_n for_o conclusion_n of_o this_o chapter_n first_o that_o man_n in_o his_o innocency_n in_o the_o perfection_n of_o his_o righteousness_n and_o holiness_n be_v but_o the_o receiver_n of_o all_o his_o good_a as_o his_o be_v passive_o by_o creation_n and_o his_o blessedness_n active_o by_o reception_n as_o by_o his_o sense_n his_o reason_n will_n and_o affection_n he_o enjoy_v god_n and_o what_o have_v he_o that_o he_o have_v not_o receive_v for_o it_o be_v proper_a to_o god_n alone_o to_o be_v be_v and_o blessedness_n in_o himself_o and_o of_o himself_o therefore_o both_o man_n and_o angel_n be_v but_o receiver_n of_o all_o their_o good_a from_o god_n second_o here_o observe_v that_o the_o perfection_n of_o the_o creation_n in_o the_o estate_n of_o pure_a natural_n have_v no_o dependency_n upon_o adam_n personal_a perfection_n or_o his_o perfect_a operation_n whereby_o they_o can_v keep_v or_o lose_v their_o create_a perfection_n by_o he_o therefore_o it_o be_v from_o some_o other_o cause_n whereby_o they_o become_v subject_a to_o fall_v into_o vanity_n for_o in_o this_o estate_n adam_n depend_v upon_o they_o for_o the_o support_n of_o his_o personal_a perfection_n and_o operation_n but_o not_o they_o upon_o he_o for_o they_o be_v create_v in_o their_o flourish_a perfection_n before_o adam_n be_v all_o be_v make_v first_o in_o their_o immediate_a dependency_n upon_o god_n but_o he_o last_v therefore_o in_o this_o estate_n they_o have_v no_o such_o dependency_n upon_o he_o three_o here_o observe_v that_o man_n perfect_a in_o holiness_n and_o righteousness_n do_v not_o by_o false_a apprehension_n interpose_v the_o good_a in_o the_o creature_n betwixt_o god_n and_o he_o to_o cut_v off_o his_o bless_a union_n of_o love_n to_o god_n nor_o god_n from_o he_o for_o he_o by_o that_o perfect_a love_n load_v himself_o and_o all_o that_o create_v good_a in_o goâ—_n from_o who_o it_o come_v and_o so_o return_v to_o god_n the_o glorâ—_n of_o all_o his_o work_n which_o he_o have_v create_v and_o make_v and_o so_o give_v god_n full_a content_n four_o observe_v that_o in_o the_o estate_n of_o perfect_a creation_n of_o the_o world_n god_n establish_v his_o glory_n to_o return_v to_o he_o in_o a_o mutual_a concordancie_n of_o man_n good_a and_o no_o otherwise_o and_o therefore_o the_o state_n of_o creation_n produce_v man_n good_a and_o no_o evil_a for_o god_n look_v upon_o all_o and_o see_v it_o be_v all_o good_a as_o like_v it_o well_o five_o observe_v that_o although_o adam_n do_v believe_v god_n to_o be_v be_v and_o blessedness_n in_o himself_o and_o of_o himself_o and_o communicate_v all_o blessedness_n to_o he_o yet_o this_o estate_n to_o adam_n be_v not_o a_o estate_n of_o faith_n for_o adam_n belief_n of_o all_o this_o do_v arise_v to_o he_o by_o natural_a demonstration_n from_o the_o perfection_n of_o the_o creation_n according_a with_o the_o perfection_n of_o his_o sense_n and_o reason_n and_o so_o to_o his_o will_n therefore_o all_o to_o he_o be_v but_o natural_a but_o in_o a_o estate_n of_o faith_n to_o live_v by_o faith_n in_o god_n first_o for_o the_o thing_n believe_v it_o must_v
