yet was not God substantially which is but one wheras a wicked man of corrupt nature and manners may be and is a God representatiuely in respect of his office and power being a Magistrate and executing the iudgments of God Psal. 82.6 I haue said yee are Gods AEnig 41. Who was hee that had neither Father nor Mother being but a meere man and was a man ere he was a child and how that may be Resolution This man was Adam who came into the world not by naturall generation as other men but by supernaturall creation wherein he was made euery way perfit in graces members proportion stature c. AEnig 42. How are Kings and beggers equall while they liue Resolution They are equall by profession being both worshippers of one God Eph. 4. and by creation being both the workman-ship of God in these two things they quarter Armes being for degree and gifts very vnequall AEnig 43. How can he be but one man in whom all men at once were Resolution Adam was but one man personally his person was but one and singular but God so decreeing it he was all men potentially and orginally as Leui was when Abraham was Heb. 7. 9.10 so all men were when Adam was because they all were in his loynes Also Adam being the head and root of our kinde though himselfe were but one person yet he bare and susteined the persons of all men who were to stand with him or to fall with him as the euent declared AEnig 44. Who was he that needed not sinne if he would yet must needs sinne and how this may be Resolution It was Adam created with perfect liberty of will who might alwaies haue chosen righteous things if he would and therefore when he sinned he sinned freely his will of it owne accord inclining it selfe to eat of the forbidden tree yet God hauing decreed his Fall not as it is a sinne but as a meane to effect his own counsell to the praise of his name in the iust punishing of the reprobate for sinne and in the mercifull sauing of the Elect by Christ. Hence it is that there was a necessitie that he should sinne a necessitie I say in regard of the euent by Gods decree the first cause yet no necessitie in regard of Adams will the second cause which had power not to haue done it AEnig 45. Who is he that sinned ere hee had any euill concupiscence Resolution It was Adam who was created holy without any euill lust yet God not confirming his will he freely yeelded vnto an euill temptation outwardly suggested and so euill concupiscence came in as a punishment of his voluntary disobedience and now it is become to all his issue the root of all their sinnes Rom. 7.7 Iam 1.14.15 Adam sinned actually first and then originally we sinne first originally and then actually AEnig 46. How can the fault of one make all other men sinners without iniustice Resolution The fault of one of vs cannot doe it because our sinnes be personall hurting our selues or some few other The Soule that sinneth shall die Ezech. 18. but Adam being the originall and beginning of man by God ordinance when he sinned all men sinned in him his sinne was the sinne of the whole and by the guilt of his disobedience imputed all were made sinners and miserable Ro. 5. 12.19 If in case of high treason earthly Princes punish children with their Fathers without iniustice how much more may God doe this and yet not doe vniustly AEnig 47. How can one offence being done in a moment bring eternall death vpon all men without iniquitie Resolution The act of Adams disobedience being but one and of short continuance also the obiect of his sinne but meane yet an euerlasting God being offended in that one act the guilt thereof bindes him and his to punishment for euer if it be not pardoned Rom. 6.23 It standeth with iustice that an eternall paine bee rendred to the offence of an eternall essence and sinnes are to be measured by the dignitie of the person against whom they are commited AEnig 48. How was it that Adam did liue after he had eaten the forbidden fruit yet he was threatned that hee should die the death if he did eat Resolution Adam hauing sinned by eating the threatning of death was fulfilled because vpon his fault his soule was spiritually dead and his body thenceforth liable to naturall death and to all miseries as fore-runners thereof God reptiued him and spared the full execution of the sentence to commend his abundant mercy and patience in giuing him both space and occasion of repentance 2. Pet. 3. Ro. 2.4 AEnig 49. What is that which at once is both sin the cause of sinne and the punishment of sinne and how may this be Resolution It is originall lust which is properly sinne being a transgression of that Law which saith Thou shalt not lust Ro. 7.7 and fighting against the gouernment of the Spirit in a renued soule Ro. 7. 21.22 Also it is the punishment of Adams willing and witting disobedience and the cause of all other sinnes which do arise out of that bitter root Iames 1.15 AEnig 50. What is that one thing that at once is both most happy and most miserable of all other things Resolution It was Adams fall which in its owne nature and in regard of the effects which followed enfolding all men within sinne and euerlasting death was the most miserable thing that euer hapned no euill like to it for extent and force But in regard of the euent which fell out by the maruellous wisdome and goodnes of God it did accidentally prooue as one saith of it foelix crimen an happy fault giuing occasion to the redemption of the elect by Christ incarnate purchasing a constant and heauenly felicitie AEnig 51. How can one who is like to God offend by desiring to be as God Resolution Adam in his creation was like God that is perfectly iust and wise as a creature might be wherewith not being contented but aspiring to be as God that is equall to him this was his horrible offence Gen. 3. AEnig 52. Now is it said we all sinned in Adam yet the woman was in the transgression Resolution The woman indeed was first in the transgression for she entised and deceiued hir husband 1. Tim. 2. 14. yet it is written that wee sinne in Adam not in Eaue because the man being the principall agent in generation sinne is rather deriued by him into his ofspring 2 Though Eue were first yet Adam was more in fault because of his greater preheminence in dignitie of sexe and excellencie of graces whereby he was enabled and bound to haue kept himselfe and Eaue both from sinning therefore the denomination is from the man as more excellent AEnig 52. How is it that our first parents did not know good and euill till after their sinne yet were created with perfect
knowledge Resolution They were created with perfect speculatiue knowledge but experimentall knowledge of good or euill till after their fall they had not for then they saw to their cost what a great good they had lost and what a great euill they had found Gen. 3.7 Aenig 54. How do our soules become sinnefull if they be of God created without sinne Resolution There bee two opinions touching the creation of the soule some thinke they are created immediately by God of nothing and at their creation be ininfused into the body Now after this opinion we must say that soules being created good are at the Instant of their Creation destitute of Gods grace and inclining to sinne come into sinnefull vncleane bodies where they qiuckely draw vnto them contagion and filth of sinne as sweete liquor is corrupted by being put into a mustie vessell The second opinion is that our soules come from the soules of our parents as our bodies from their bodies and as one candle takes light of another If we embrace these opinions we must say that the whole man both body and soule be corrupt and sinfull by carnall or fleshly generation parents begetting children in their owne likenesse naughty and vicious as they be Gen. 5. 3. Adam be got a sonne in his owne likenesse Hence it is that the corruption of nature is in Scripture so often called by the name of flesh Rom. 7.5 and 8.1.2.3 c. The best strife is about the driuing out of sinne not about the entring in labour how to haue it mortified and pardoned AEnig 55. How may one bee a sinner that neuer thought spake nor did amisse Resolution It is an Infant newly borne who being without all actuall sinne yet is a sinner by originall transgression Adams transgression being imputed to it and together with the want of perfect righteousnesse being through inherent corruption of nature proane to all euill Rom. 5. 13.14 and so vnder death AEnig 56. What is that that is a sinne yet is not the transgression of any commandement Resolution It is naturall corruption which because it hindereth the perfect loue of God and of our neighbor is equally forbidden in euery commandement which striketh at the roote the whole law being spirituall and because it is an vniuersall transgression therefore it is not forbidden specially in any one commandement as many thinke AEnig 57. What thing is that which God neuer made Resolution It is sinne and death which bee the effects of Sathans malice and Adams fall Gen. 3. 1. and not the workes of Gods hand who suffereth and ruleth them but created them not For all was good which hee made very good Gen. 1. verse last AEnig 58. What is that that doth turne blessinges into cursinges and how may that be Resolution It is sinne which to them in whom it raignes causeth such thinges to bee snares as in their owne nature are blessings giuen of God for our welfare AEnig 59. What is that that hath a name yet may not be named Resolution Generally it is all sinne which is so filthie a thing as it ought not to bee named but with detestation particularly it is Idolatry Fornication and Couetousnesse these may not be named without dislike Psalm 16. 4. Ephes. 5. 3. AEnig 59. What is that which hath lost his stinge yet hath a sting Resolution It is sinne and death which haue lost their sting towardes the faithfull for whom Christ died but still keepe a sting to bite and kill the vngodly withall 1. Cor. 15. Rom. 6. 23. AEnig 60. How can God loue and hate men before they be without iniustice Resolution In Scripture Gods decree to loue is called loue because it is a part of loue to purpose to giue vs vnto his Sonne in whom we are beloued and accepted Also his decree not to loue to saue by Christ is called his hatred because it is an effect of hatred not to meane one good God being said to loue and to hate when he doth such things as men vse to doe who haue these affections It were iniustice and absurditie both actually to loue or to hate actually those which yet haue no actuall being but to decree vnto actuall loue and hatred men before they be this is no iniustice in him whose will is the perfect rule of all iustice Rom. 11. AEnig 61. How can God chuse one man to life and refuse another without respect of persons seeing all were a like good by Creation and alike euill by corruption Resolution Persons in phrase of Scripture signifies outward qualities as riches pouertie country parentage learning and such like by which things if God should be mooued to chuse one to life and to reiect another hee should bee a respecter of persons but when all men were alike in Adam to appoint one man to obteine saluation and not another out of his owne will euen because it so pleased him to the glorie of his owne iustice and mercy This is no respecting of persons AEnig 62. How can God foresee and fore-ordaine all things which be and happen yet not be the author of sinne Resolution God-fore seeth and fore-appointeth all thinges that happen euen sinnes themselues which should not happen if he were willing to hinder them yet not as they are sinnes but as they' are meanes to effect the righteous counsell of God for the good of the elect or for the punishment of the wicked as the selling of Ioseph by his brethren the betraying of Christ by Iudas be examples hereof Gen. 45.5 Act. 2.23 God so purposeth and disposeth sins to iust endes as that hee mooueth eggeth perswadeth none to sinne Iam. 1. 13. God tempteth no man AEnig 63. How may one be chosen yet not be saued Resolution One may be chosen to an outward function either Ciuill as Saul or Ecclesiasticall as Iudas yet not be saued being not chosen to sanctification of the spirit 1. Pet. 1.2 AEnig 64. How can God decree Death for sinne yet not will the death of a sinner Resolution Death as it is the stipend of sinne hath the consideration of God and therefore is decreed of God but as it is simply the destruction of the Creature thus God hath no pleasure in it As a mild and iust King ordaines torture and prisons for preuention to keep from offending or for penaltie of offendors yet hath no delight in the paine of his subiects so doth God AEnig 65. How can it bee written that God will haue all men to be saued yet very many men bee vessels of wrath prepared to destruction Resolution When the Word saith that God will haue all men to be saued the meaning is not of euery one in particular for then none should be damned because none can let his will but some of all sorts some poore some rich some Kings some priuate men some Iewes some Gentiles c. while other some
denying it in his works prooues a great lyer 1. Ioh. 1. 6. AEnig 372. How may one bee both a man and a beast at once Resolution As Herod was by nature a man in qualitie a foxe for his subtiltie and wilinesse Also obstinate and desperate sinners haue the substance and shape of men yet the condition of dogs and swine Mat. 7.7 AEnig 373. Who is he that sleepeth while hee is awake Resolution The carnall and carelesse gospeller his soule sleeps in sinne being secure of Gods iudgments while his bodily eyes be awake also on the contrary the soule of the godly is watchfull when the eyes of the body are closed with sleepe euen in bodily sleepe his heart sleepeth not AEnig 374. How doth the Scripture call some righteous who haue no true righteousnesse in them or imputed to them Resolution One whose life is outwardly reformed may lacke both inherent righteousnesse a fruit of Sanctification and imputed righteousnesse by faith yet doing many righteous deeds may seem to himselfe and to others to be righteous and somtime the Scripture calls such righteous speaking of men as they appeare not as they are Ezek. 18. Ezek. 3. AEnig 375. Who are they that ioy in that that hurts them and loue that which they abhorre and how this may be Resolution Sinfull scorners reioyce in iniquitie and make a pastime of sin which turns to their destruction in the end also they loue such euils in themselues as they abhorre in others Rom. 2. Mat. 7. 2.3.4 Mat. 23.23.24 c. AEnig 376. How may it be that sin should be dead in any person and that person not mortified and dead to sinne Resolution In the phrase of Scripture sinne is said to be dead when it lyes still without moouing not vexing and fearing the conscience this is but a seeming death of sinne which may be and is in many who neuer knew what true death and mortification of sin meant Rom. 7.8 AEnig 377. What bread is it that alwaies hurts the owner and the eater Resolution It is the bread of oppression gotten by deceit and violence which being sweet in the mouth prooues grauell and bitternesse in the belly Prou. AEnig 378. What sinne is that that most dishonoreth God yet is least regarded of men Resolution It is the secret vnbeleife of the heart which at once robs God and spoyles him of his mercy truth and power whereas most men make least account of this sinne because it is most high from common vnderstanding and from common sense AEnig 379. How may one worship the true God yet be an outward Idolater Resolution First if the true God be worshipped in a strange manner by a worship not commanded in his word as Papists Secondly if the true God bee worshipped out of Christ or not by or with Christ as the Iewes and Turks do worship him Thirdly when men are present at Idoll-seruice and yet reserue their hearts for God as neuters and time-seruers doe AEnig 380. How may one be both a Vassall and an Emperour at once Resolution If a worldly Prince be a slaue to his owne passions and lusts he is at once both a Vassall of sinne and Emperor of men Also euery godly person reigning as emperour ouer his affections confesseth himselfe a vassall and seruant to do all homage vnto Christ his Redeemer AEnig 381. What vice is that that maketh men likest the deuill and vnlikest to Christ and how this may be Resolution It is the vice of enuy and pride wherby men most resemble Satan who out of most deep pride against God and enuy against man ouerthrew himselfe and all mankinde AEnig 382. What fountaine is that that sendeth forth both sweet waters and sowre and how this may be Resolution It is a malicious and blasphemous tongue which at once blesseth God and curseth man Iam 3.9.10 AEnig 383. How is ignorance a sinne yet one may be ignorant without sinne Resolution Ignorance of some truth which we may know and are bound to know is a sin against the first Commandement yet one may be without sinne ignorant of many things which be vnpossible to be knowne and vnbehoofefull such is the ignorance of Christ and of the Angel touching the last day and of man touching the same and all other secrets of God which his word doth not teach AEnig 384. What is that that maketh some mens best works their greatest sinnes and how this may be Resolution It is a false heart or an euill vnbeleeuing heart mockinge God with shewes and men with apparances of pietie and vertue when all is rotten and vnsound within at the bottome Esay 1. and Esay 66. AEnig 385. 386. How may one sinne necessarily yet not certainely and compulsarily How is there a necessity of sinning where there is a liberty of willing Resolution All wicked men sinne necessarilie being seruants and bond-men to sin so as they can doe nothing but sinne yet their will sinning freely by election they sinne without compulsion as Christ saith of the Iewes Iohn 8. they would do the lust of Sathan their father yet addeth that they were bound necessity and liberty may well meete together a thing may be freely done which is yet necessarily done howbeit liberty compulsion cannot stand and agree in one man the will of men is neuer compelled yet is it in seruitude to lust AEnig 387. How may one at one time in respect of one thing both see and not see Resolution An euill man may see a truth speculatiuely to koow it yet not so see the same truth as to practise it AEnig 388. How may one denie him whom he professeth Resolution If he denie him in deedes whom he professeth in words AEnig 389. How may God iustly not hinder sinne when hee may yet it were a fault in vs so to doe Resolution God is most free men are bound to his law Also it is a part of iustice in God not to hinder sinne when thereby former sinnes are to bee finished lastly sometime this not hindering of sinne prooues occasion of many and great good as in Adams fall in Dauids and Salomons sinne in Peters deniall AEnig 390. How are we commanded to contend for the faith and yet contention is forbid as a fruite of the flesh Resolution There is a holy and necessarie contention when according to our vocation we striue for the feare and worship of God for vpholding the doctrine of faith with desire not to ouercome men but the errours vnto Gods glorie and profit of the Church but priuate contention with bitternesse in our owne quarrels or publike needlesse and godlesse contentions be fruits of the flesh AEnig 391. How may one doe many good things yet himselfe an euill man Resolution Herod and Iudas not hauing faith a good conscience were ill men yet they did many things which for substance of the worke done were good and good

beleeuing is nothing but a spirituall sight faith being the eye of the soule whereby we see God reconciled to vs by Christ by which sight we walke now not by immediate sight such as Angells and Saints haue in heauen which glorious sight shall dimme or extinguish rather the obscure sight of faith which seeth thorough the Word and Sacraments as spectacles whereas there in heauen we shall see perfitly AEnig 228. Who is that that makes things visible to be invisible and things past and to come to be present And how this may be Resolution It is a true and liuely faith to which God and heauenly glory things invisible doe after a sort become visible being beleeued that they shall as certainly be performed as they are certeinly promised Also in a wonderfull manner both things past as the worlds creation Christs incarnation and passion And things to come as resurrection Iudgment c. are present to faith Heb. 11.1 AEnig 229. How may one at once both haue faith and loose it Resolution A Christian at once may haue the gift or habit of faith and yet loose the feeling and some fruits for a time as in Dauid and Peter who lost confession of Christ with boldnesse cleannesse and ioy of heart yet lost not the grace of faith AEnig 230. How can one see him that is invisible whom neuer man saw Resolution God being an invisible Spirit maketh himselfe seen vnto faithfull ones and visible as it were in his word sacraments works and creatures Heb. 11. 27. AEnig 231. How is it that a beleeuer still hungers and thirsts yet true beleeuers hunger and thirst no more Iohn 6.

How may one beleeue before he haue faith Resolution He that out of an heart truly touched for his offences doth desire through the holy ghost to beleeue the forgiuenesse of them such a one though he haue not that faith which is in strong apprehension and act yet he doth beleeue in Gods acceptance who in his children accepteth the desire for the deed Mat. 12.20 Ioh. 7. 37. 38.
