man_n also_o see_v that_o have_v receive_v his_o be_v from_o god_n he_o be_v under_o a_o vast_a obligation_n of_o gratitude_n love_n and_o service_n into_o god_n who_o have_v give_v he_o be_v and_o such_o a_o excellent_a be_v man_n also_o see_v that_o receive_v his_o be_v from_o another_o and_o not_o have_v it_o from_o himself_o it_o be_v most_o just_a and_o reasonable_a that_o he_o shall_v be_v under_o the_o will_n of_o he_o who_o give_v he_o his_o be_v and_o not_o under_o the_o conduct_n and_o government_n of_o his_o own_o will_n these_o deduction_n do_v natural_o flow_v from_o the_o principle_n of_o right_a reason_n which_o we_o must_v suppose_v to_o be_v in_o man_n in_o his_o primitive_a estate_n 2._o the_o second_o proposition_n be_v this_o that_o man_n be_v every_o way_n fit_v and_o qualify_v to_o give_v obedience_n to_o the_o law_n of_o his_o creation_n man_n we_o know_v at_o first_o be_v create_v after_o the_o image_n of_o god_n in_o righteousness_n and_o true_a

also_o as_o it_o be_v first_o create_v have_v no_o obliquity_n in_o it_o but_o be_v incline_v to_o good_a his_o affection_n be_v all_o regular_a god_n make_v man_n upright_o as_o the_o scripture_n speak_v eccles_n 7.29_o every_o thing_n be_v upright_o most_o upright_o in_o man_n in_o his_o first_o creation_n there_o be_v nothing_o out_o of_o order_n in_o he_o the_o will_n of_o man_n be_v then_o upright_o it_o be_v true_a although_o the_o will_n of_o man_n be_v make_v upright_o and_o good_a at_o first_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o make_v immutable_o good_a but_o that_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o man_n to_o decline_v from_o good_a to_o evil_n otherwise_o it_o have_v not_o be_v possible_a for_o man_n to_o have_v fall_v and_o sin_v but_o sin_n and_o fall_v he_o do_v and_o that_o we_o know_v by_o our_o own_o sad_a experience_n but_o yet_o though_o man_n be_v not_o create_v at_o first_o in_o a_o impeccable_a estate_n but_o that_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o he_o to_o sin_n yet_o he_o be_v
