A11363	A treatise of Paradise. And the principall contents thereof especially of the greatnesse, situation, beautie, and other properties of that place: of the trees of life, good and euill; of the serpent, cherubin, fiery sword, mans creation, immortalitie, propagation, stature, age, knowledge, temptation, fall, and exclusion out of Paradise; and consequently of his and our originall sin: with many other difficulties touching these points. Collected out of the holy Scriptures, ancient fathers, and other both ancient and moderne writers.	Salkeld, John, 1576-1660.	1617 (1617)	STC 21622; ESTC S116515	126,315	368

god_n do_v give_v this_o law_n unto_o our_o first_o father_n he_o think_v that_o they_o will_v obey_v it_o which_o see_v they_o do_v not_o god_n as_o manes_n object_v be_v deceive_v second_o he_o accuse_v god_n of_o unjust_a wrath_n and_o indignation_n in_o that_o he_o condemn_v man_n for_o so_o small_a a_o matter_n as_o the_o eat_n of_o a_o apple_n final_o he_o accuse_v he_o of_o ignorance_n mutability_n and_o contradiction_n to_o himself_o in_o that_o ignore_v his_o future_a compassion_n towards_o man_n he_o do_v frustrate_v the_o law_n which_o he_o himself_o have_v make_v yea_o and_o contradict_v the_o sentence_n of_o death_n as_o rash_o pronounce_v by_o himself_o against_o adam_n here_o we_o may_v see_v how_o as_o tertullian_n say_v god_n of_o his_o infinite_a goodness_n and_o mercy_n suffer_v himself_o to_o be_v dishonour_v in_o his_o other_o infinite_a attribute_n and_o deity_n but_o that_o it_o may_v be_v apparent_a that_o these_o blasphemy_n have_v not_o any_o ground_n even_o in_o natural_a reason_n we_o answer_v that_o though_o all_o thing_n and_o consequent_o the_o disobedience_n of_o adam_n be_v perfect_o foreknown_a by_o god_n almighty_a yet_o nevertheless_o it_o be_v conformable_a to_o reason_n that_o adam_n be_v a_o reasonable_a creature_n shall_v have_v this_o law_n of_o obedience_n prescribe_v unto_o he_o so_o conformable_a to_o reason_n first_o for_o to_o manifest_v the_o absolute_a power_n dominion_n and_o authority_n of_o god_n the_o creator_n over_o his_o creature_n and_o the_o due_a subjection_n of_o the_o creature_n towards_o his_o creator_n second_o this_o law_n of_o obedience_n be_v most_o profitable_a unto_o man_n though_o foreknow_v that_o it_o be_v to_o be_v violate_v by_o man_n most_o profitable_a i_o say_v it_o be_v both_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o manifestation_n of_o god_n justice_n and_o mercy_n as_o also_o for_o the_o exercise_n and_o trial_n of_o the_o good_a and_o bad_a righteous_a and_o unrighteous_a a_o necessary_a object_n of_o the_o aforesaid_a attribute_n now_o if_o this_o law_n shall_v therefore_o have_v be_v omit_v because_o god_n fore-knew_a the_o transgression_n thereof_o by_o the_o same_o reason_n or_o rather_o no_o reason_n no_o other_o law_n shall_v have_v be_v prescribe_v unto_o man_n see_v there_o be_v no_o law_n either_o of_o nature_n or_o grace_n which_o god_n in_o his_o foreknowledge_n do_v not_o foresee_v will_v be_v oftentime_o violate_v by_o man_n furthermore_o as_o touch_v the_o blasphemy_n against_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v attribute_v to_o god_n as_o signify_v any_o passion_n or_o mutation_n in_o the_o immutable_a or_o impassable_a god_n but_o that_o this_o shadow_n of_o change_n or_o show_v of_o mutability_n be_v attribute_v unto_o he_o who_o in_o his_o nature_n be_v altogether_o immutable_a because_o he_o see_v the_o wickedness_n of_o man_n he_o work_v those_o effect_n which_o in_o we_o be_v evident_a token_n and_o sign_n of_o mutability_n and_o change_n nay_o second_o i_o add_v that_o after_o adam_n have_v transgress_v the_o commandment_n of_o god_n god_n pronounce_v against_o he_o the_o aforesaid_a sentence_n of_o death_n more_o move_v by_o mercy_n then_o of_o any_o anger_n or_o wrath_n which_o we_o may_v evident_o see_v in_o that_o he_o do_v not_o die_v the_o same_o day_n of_o his_o transgression_n according_a as_o the_o sentence_n which_o god_n pronounce_v against_o he_o seem_v to_o threaten_v so_o that_o whether_o we_o respect_v the_o sentence_n give_v before_o adam_n disobedience_n or_o the_o execution_n of_o the_o same_o after_o his_o sin_n we_o may_v admire_v the_o infinite_a mercy_n of_o the_o almighty_a in_o both_o both_o in_o regard_n of_o adam_n and_o his_o posterity_n as_o also_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o sentence_n threaten_v to_o be_v inflict_v so_o immediate_o after_o their_o sin_n so_o that_o even_o in_o his_o justice_n we_o may_v magnify_v his_o mercy_n and_o say_v with_o the_o psalmist_n misericordia_fw-la eius_fw-la super_fw-la omne_fw-la opera_fw-la eius_fw-la that_o his_o mercy_n abound_v in_o all_o his_o work_n yea_o and_o be_v above_o all_o his_o work_n because_o as_o the_o divine_n say_v remunerat_fw-la ultra_fw-la condignum_fw-la punit_fw-la citra_fw-la condignum_fw-la he_o reward_v our_o work_n far_o beyond_o their_o worth_n which_o be_v none_o at_o all_o unless_o it_o be_v in_o christ_n and_o punish_v our_o sin_n much_o less_o than_o they_o deserve_v to_o the_o other_o blasphemy_n which_o manes_n use_v against_o the_o almighty_a god_n in_o accuse_v he_o of_o repentance_n and_o mutability_n i_o answer_v that_o we_o must_v first_o suppose_v what_o it_o be_v to_o repent_v or_o to_o be_v sorry_a for_o any_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v do_v for_o repentance_n or_o sorrow_n suppose_v ignorance_n in_o we_o of_o future_a event_n yea_o of_o such_o as_o be_v noxious_a or_o hurtful_a to_o those_o who_o be_v affect_v with_o the_o aforesaid_a passion_n both_o which_o be_v far_o unfitting_a the_o all-seeing_a science_n and_o omnipotent_a power_n of_o god_n who_o do_v not_o remit_v the_o rigour_n of_o this_o sentence_n move_v by_o sorrow_n or_o repentance_n as_o it_o happen_v in_o we_o but_o rather_o as_o we_o have_v say_v before_o by_o his_o infinite_a mercy_n and_o clemency_n to_o the_o end_n that_o his_o infinite_a goodness_n and_o mercy_n may_v be_v the_o more_o manifest_a unto_o us._n in_o like_a manner_n we_o may_v say_v that_o when_o any_o sinner_n do_v turn_v from_o his_o former_a be_v in_o sin_n god_n almighty_a in_o some_o sort_n may_v be_v say_v to_o remit_v the_o rigour_n of_o his_o sentence_n pronounce_v against_o he_o and_o this_o not_o by_o reason_n of_o any_o ignorance_n or_o mutable_a repent_v himself_o of_o the_o former_a fact_n or_o threaten_v as_o manes_n blasphemous_o object_v but_o rather_o he_o remit_v out_o of_o his_o infinite_a clemency_n the_o sentence_n of_o damnation_n which_o conditional_o he_o have_v decree_v to_o wit_n if_o the_o sinner_n have_v not_o repent_v himself_o of_o his_o sin_n a_o example_n of_o which_o we_o find_v in_o the_o commination_n of_o doom_n and_o
