soul_n draw_v near_o to_o this_o object_n by_o its_o love_n that_o it_o may_v taste_v it_o and_o discover_v its_o good_a by_o the_o sensation_n of_o sweetness_n which_o the_o author_n of_o nature_n give_v it_o as_o a_o natural_a recompense_n for_o its_o incline_n to_o good_a it_o judge_v that_o this_o object_n be_v a_o good_a by_o a_o abstract_a reason_n which_o affect_v it_o not_o but_o it_o

this_o particular_a object_n be_v consider_v as_o evil_a or_o as_o capable_a of_o deprive_v we_o of_o any_o good_a no_o new_a determination_n happen_v to_o the_o motion_n of_o our_o will_n but_o

that_o god_n imprint_n on_o they_o to_o good_a that_o they_o hate_v he_o now_o they_o judge_v that_o god_n be_v not_o good_a because_o they_o make_v not_o that_o use_n as_o they_o ought_v of_o their_o

and_o the_o latter_a follow_v it_o for_o joy_n natural_o result_v from_o the_o knowledge_n we_o have_v of_o our_o happiness_n or_o of_o our_o perfection_n since_o we_o can_v never_o look_v upon_o

there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o joy_n but_o i_o do_v not_o speak_v in_o this_o place_n of_o that_o which_o be_v pure_o sensible_a i_o speak_v of_o that_o which_o adam_n can_v feel_v as_o a_o

that_o joy_n the_o chief_a be_v that_o this_o joy_n may_v have_v take_v up_o his_o mind_n to_o that_o degree_n as_o to_o deprive_v he_o of_o his_o liberty_n and_o will_v have_v unite_v he_o to_o god_n

it_o be_v natural_a to_o believe_v that_o the_o say_a sight_n occasion_n it_o for_o when_o one_o thing_n always_o follow_v another_o we_o natural_o look_v on_o it_o as_o one_o of_o its_o effect_n so_o we_o look_v upon_o ourselves_o as_o the_o author_n of_o our_o present_a felicity_n we_o have_v a_o secret_a complaisance_n in_o our_o natural_a perfection_n we_o love_v ourselves_o we_o do_v not_o always_o think_v on_o he_o who_o operate_v in_o we_o after_o a_o imperceptible_a manner_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o adam_n know_v more_o distinct_o than_o the_o best_a philosopher_n that_o ever_o be_v that_o god_n only_o be_v capable_a to_o act_v in_o he_o and_o to_o occasion_v that_o sensation_n of_o joy_n which_o he_o feel_v in_o himself_o at_o the_o sight_n of_o his_o happiness_n and_o perfection_n he_o know_v that_o clear_o by_o the_o light_n of_o reason_n whenever_o he_o apply_v himself_o to_o it_o but_o he_o do_v not_o feel_v it_o he_o feel_v on_o the_o contrary_a that_o the_o say_a joy_n be_v a_o consequence_n of_o his_o perfection_n and_o he_o always_o feel_v it_o without_o any_o application_n on_o his_o part_n therefore_o that_o sensation_n may_v induce_v he_o to_o consider_v his_o own_o perfection_n and_o to_o delight_v in_o himself_o in_o case_n he_o forget_v or_o any_o wise_a lose_v the_o sight_n of_o he_o who_o operation_n be_v not_o sensible_a so_o that_o

therefore_o i_o say_v in_o this_o chapter_n that_o it_o behove_v adam_n to_o take_v care_n not_o to_o suffer_v the_o capacity_n of_o his_o mind_n to_o be_v fill_v with_o a_o presumptuous_a joy_n

of_o concupiscence_n but_o likewise_o fill_v he_o with_o spiritual_a vice_n the_o child_n body_n be_v not_o only_o corrupt_v before_o baptism_n but_o its_o very_a soul_n and_o all_o its_o faculty_n be_v infect_v by_o sin_n though_o the_o rebellion_n of_o the_o body_n be_v the_o chief_a cause_n of_o some_o gross_a vice_n as_o intemperance_n and_o incontinency_n yet_o it_o do_v not_o occasion_n vice_n that_o be_v pure_o spiritual_a such_o as_o pride_n and_o envy_n so_o that_o original_a sin_n be_v something_o very_o different_a from_o the_o concupiscence_n wherewith_o we_o be_v bear_v and_o be_v probable_o the_o privation_n of_o grace_n or_o of_o original_a justice_n answer_n i_o own_o that_o child_n be_v deprive_v of_o original_a righteousness_n and_o i_o prove_v it_o when_o i_o show_v they_o be_v not_o bear_v just_o and_o that_o god_n hate_v they_o for_o in_o my_o opinion_n it_o be_v impossible_a to_o give_v a_o clear_a idea_n of_o justicâ—_n and_o of_o righteousness_n than_o in_o say_v that_o the_o will_n be_v upright_o when_o it_o love_v god_n and_o that_o it_o be_v irregular_a when_o it_o be_v turn_v towards_o the_o body_n but_o if_o by_o original_a justice_n or_o grace_n you_o mean_v certain_a or_o unknown_a qualification_n like_v unto_o those_o which_o be_v say_v god_n have_v infuse_v into_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o first_o man_n to_o adorn_v it_o and_o to_o render_v it_o agreeable_a in_o his_o sight_n it_o be_v also_o evident_a that_o the_o privation_n of_o this_o justice_n be_v not_o original_a sin_n for_o proper_o speak_v that_o privation_n can_v be_v transmit_v if_o child_n have_v nor_o those_o qualification_n it_o be_v because_o god_n do_v not_o give_v they_o to_o they_o and_o if_o god_n do_v not_o give_v they_o it_o be_v because_o they_o be_v unworthy_a of_o it_o it_o be_v then_o that_o unworthiness_n which_o be_v transmit_v and_o which_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o privation_n of_o original_a justice_n therefore_o it_o be_v that_o unworthiness_n which_o proper_o speak_v be_v original_a sin_n now_o this_o unworthiness_n which_o consist_v as_o i_o have_v show_v in_o this_o that_o the_o inclination_n of_o child_n be_v actual_o corrupt_v that_o their_o heart_n be_v turn_v towards_o body_n and_o love_v they_o this_o i_o say_v be_v real_o in_o they_o it_o be_v not_o the_o imputation_n of_o their_o father_n sin_n they_o be_v actual_o in_o disorder_n so_o those_o that_o be_v justify_v by_o jesus_n christ_n of_o which_o adam_n be_v the_o figure_n be_v not_o justify_v by_o imputation_n they_o be_v actual_o restore_v into_o

or_o essential_a relation_n the_o one_o to_o god_n the_o other_o to_o its_o body_n now_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o relation_n or_o union_n it_o have_v with_o god_n can_v neither_o corrupt_v it_o or_o make_v it_o vicious_a therefore_o it_o be_v only_o so_o in_o the_o moment_n of_o its_o creation_n by_o the_o relation_n it_o have_v to_o its_o body_n so_o that_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o say_v either_o that_o pride_n and_o the_o other_o vice_n which_o be_v call_v spiritual_a may_v be_v communicate_v by_o the_o body_n or_o that_o child_n be_v not_o liable_a to_o they_o at_o the_o

other_o relation_n then_o to_o god_n and_o that_o in_o the_o moment_n of_o their_o creation_n they_o be_v subject_a to_o no_o vice_n yet_o they_o be_v fall_v into_o disorder_n but_o it_o be_v only_o
