show_v hereafter_o now_o this_o immutable_a order_n which_o have_v the_o force_n of_o a_o law_n in_o respect_n to_o god_n himself_o have_v visible_o the_o force_n of_o a_o law_n in_o relation_n to_o we_o for_o this_o order_n be_v know_v to_o we_o and_o our_o natural_a love_n suit_v itself_o to_o it_o when_o we_o look_v into_o ourselves_o and_o when_o our_o sense_n and_o passion_n leave_v we_o free_a in_o a_o word_n when_o our_o self-love_n do_v not_o corrupt_v our_o natural_a love_n be_v make_v for_o god_n from_o who_o we_o can_v never_o be_v absolute_o separate_v we_o see_v this_o order_n in_o he_o and_o be_v natural_o incline_v to_o love_v he_o for_o it_o be_v his_o light_n which_o lighten_v we_o and_o his_o love_n which_o animate_v we_o though_o our_o sense_n and_o passion_n obscure_v that_o light_n and_o determine_v against_o order_n the_o impression_n which_o we_o receive_v to_o love_v according_a to_o order_n but_o though_o concupiscence_n conceal_v order_n from_o we_o and_o hinder_v we_o from_o follow_v it_o yet_o it_o be_v still_o a_o essential_a and_o indispensible_a law_n in_o respect_n to_o we_o and_o not_o only_o in_o respect_n of_o we_o but_o to_o all_o create_a intelligence_n and_o even_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o damn_a for_o i_o do_v not_o think_v they_o be_v so_o far_o remove_v from_o god_n but_o that_o they_o still_o preserve_v some_o small_a idea_n of_o order_n still_o find_v some_o beauty_n in_o it_o nay_o more_o be_v still_o ready_a to_o conform_v to_o it_o in_o some_o particular_a occasion_n which_o do_v not_o oppose_v their_o self-love_n the_o corruption_n of_o the_o heart_n consist_v in_o a_o opposition_n to_o order_n therefore_o the_o malice_n or_o corruption_n of_o the_o will_v not_o be_v equal_a even_o among_o the_o damn_a it_o be_v evident_a that_o they_o be_v not_o equal_o oppose_v to_o order_n nor_o hate_v it_o in_o all_o thing_n unless_o in_o consequence_n of_o the_o hatred_n they_o bear_v to_o god_n for_o as_o no_o man_n can_v hate_v good_a consider_v bare_o as_o such_o so_o none_o can_v hate_v order_n unless_o it_o prove_v contrary_a to_o their_o inclination_n but_o though_o it_o seem_v contrary_a to_o their_o inclination_n nevertheless_o it_o be_v a_o law_n which_o condemn_v they_o and_o which_o even_o punish_v they_o everlasting_o we_o now_o see_v what_o order_n be_v and_o how_o it_o have_v the_o force_n of_o a_o law_n by_o the_o necessary_a love_n god_n have_v for_o himself_o we_o conceive_v how_o this_o law_n be_v general_n for_o all_o spirit_n and_o even_o for_o god_n himself_o how_o it_o be_v necessary_a and_o absolute_o indispensible_a in_o fine_a we_o either_o do_v or_o may_v easy_o conceive_v in_o general_a how_o it_o be_v the_o principle_n of_o all_o divine_a and_o humane_a law_n and_o that_o it_o be_v according_a to_o this_o law_n all_o intelligence_n be_v judge_v and_o all_o creature_n dispose_v in_o their_o respective_a class_n that_o be_v proper_a for_o they_o i_o own_o it_o be_v no_o easy_a task_n to_o explain_v all_o this_o in_o particular_a neither_o will_v i_o venture_v to_o undertake_v it_o for_o shall_v i_o attempt_v to_o show_v the_o relation_n particular_a law_n have_v to_o the_o general_n law_n and_o the_o connection_n between_o certain_a proceed_n and_o order_n i_o shall_v be_v oblige_v to_o enter_v into_o such_o difficulty_n as_o perhaps_o i_o shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o solve_v and_o which_o will_v also_o lead_v i_o far_o from_o my_o subject_n nevertheless_o if_o we_o consider_v that_o god_n neither_o have_v nor_o can_v have_v any_o law_n but_o his_o wisdom_n and_o the_o necessary_a love_n he_o have_v for_o it_o we_o shall_v easy_o conclude_v that_o all_o divine_a law_n must_v be_v ground_v on_o it_o and_o if_o we_o observe_v that_o he_o have_v only_o make_v the_o world_n in_o relation_n to_o that_o wisdom_n and_o love_n since_o he_o only_o act_n for_o himself_o we_o shall_v no_o long_o doubt_v but_o that_o all_o natural_a law_n must_v tend_v to_o the_o preservation_n and_o perfection_n of_o this_o world_n according_a to_o indispensable_a order_n and_o by_o their_o dependence_n on_o necessary_a love_n for_o all_o thing_n be_v govern_v by_o the_o wisdom_n and_o will_n of_o god_n there_o be_v no_o necessity_n for_o i_o to_o enlarge_v any_o further_a on_o this_o principle_n at_o this_o time_n what_o i_o have_v say_v be_v sufficient_a to_o draw_v this_o consequence_n that_o in_o the_o first_o institution_n of_o nature_n it_o be_v impossible_a that_o spirit_n shall_v have_v be_v subject_v to_o body_n for_o as_o god_n can_v never_o act_n without_o knowledge_n and_o involuntary_o so_o he_o have_v make_v the_o world_n according_a to_o his_o wisdom_n and_o by_o the_o morion_n of_o his_o love_n he_o have_v make_v all_o thing_n by_o his_o son_n and_o in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o the_o scripture_n teach_v we_o now_o in_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n spirit_n be_v more_o perfect_a than_o body_n and_o by_o the_o necessary_a love_n which_o god_n have_v for_o himself_o he_o prefer_v the_o most_o perfect_a to_o the_o least_o perfect_a therefore_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o spirit_n shall_v have_v be_v subject_v to_o body_n in_o the_o first_o institution_n of_o nature_n otherwise_o we_o shall_v be_v oblige_v to_o say_v that_o when_o god_n make_v the_o world_n he_o follow_v not_o the_o rule_n of_o his_o eternal_a wisdom_n nor_o the_o motion_n of_o his_o natural_a and_o necessary_a love_n which_o be_v not_o to_o be_v conceive_v but_o rather_o imply_v a_o direct_a contradiction_n it_o be_v true_a at_o present_a a_o create_a mind_n be_v subject_a to_o a_o material_a and_o sensible_a body_n but_o it_o be_v because_o order_v consider_v as_o a_o necessary_a law_n require_v it_o it_o be_v because_o god_n love_v himself_o by_o a_o necessary_a love_n which_o be_v always_o his_o inviolable_a law_n can_v love_v spirit_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o he_o nor_o consequent_o prefer_v they_o to_o body_n in_o which_o there_o be_v no_o ill_a nor_o any_o thing_n that_o god_n hate_v conversation_n see_v the_o five_o dialogue_n of_o the_o christian_a conversation_n for_o god_n love_v not_o sinner_n in_o themselves_o they_o only_o subsist_v in_o the_o universe_n by_o jesus_n christ_n god_n only_o preserve_v and_o love_v they_o that_o they_o may_v cease_v to_o be_v sinner_n by_o grace_n in_o jesus_n christ_n or_o that_o if_o they_o remain_v sinner_n eternal_o they_o may_v eternal_o be_v condemn_v by_o the_o immutable_a and_o necessary_a order_n and_o by_o the_o judgement_n of_o jesus_n christ_n through_o who_o power_n they_o subsist_v for_o the_o glory_n of_o divine_a justice_n for_o be_v it_o not_o for_o jesus_n christ_n they_o will_v be_v annihilate_v i_o say_v this_o by_o the_o by_o to_o remove_v some_o difficulty_n which_o may_v remain_v about_o what_o i_o have_v say_v elsewhere_o concern_v original_a sin_n or_o the_o general_a corruption_n of_o nature_n it_o be_v in_o my_o opinion_n very_o useful_a to_o consider_v that_o the_o mind_n only_o know_v external_n object_n after_o two_o manner_n by_o knowledge_n and_o by_o sensation_n it_o see_v thing_n by_o knowledge_n when_o it_o have_v a_o clear_a idea_n of_o they_o and_o consult_v this_o idea_n can_v discover_v all_o the_o property_n they_o be_v capable_a of_o it_o see_v thing_n by_o sensation_n when_o it_o can_v thus_o discover_v the_o property_n of_o they_o clear_o when_o it_o only_o know_v they_o by_o a_o confuse_a sensation_n without_o light_n and_o evidence_n it_o be_v by_o knowledge_n and_o '_o a_o clear_a idea_n the_o mind_n see_v the_o essence_n of_o thing_n number_n and_o extension_n it_o be_v by_o a_o confute_v idea_n or_o by_o sensation_n it_o judge_n of_o the_o existence_n of_o creature_n and_o that_o it_o know_v its_o own_o the_o mind_n perceive_v those_o thing_n perfect_o which_o it_o perceive_v by_o knowledge_n and_o a_o clear_a idea_n and_o moreover_o it_o see_v clear_o that_o if_o there_o be_v any_o obscurity_n or_o imperfection_n in_o its_o knowledge_n it_o proceed_v from_o its_o weakness_n and_o limitation_n or_o from_o want_n of_o application_n on_o its_o part_n and_o not_o for_o want_v of_o perfection_n in_o the_o idea_n which_o it_o perceive_v but_o what_o the_o mind_n perceive_v by_o sensation_n be_v never_o clear_o know_v to_o it_o not_o for_o want_v of_o application_n on_o its_o part_n for_o we_o always_o apply_v ourselves_o careful_o to_o what_o we_o feel_v but_o by_o the_o defect_n of_o the_o idea_n which_o be_v very_o obscure_a and_o confuse_a from_o hence_o we_o may_v judge_v that_o it_o be_v in_o god_n or_o in_o a_o immutable_a nature_n that_o we_o see_v whatever_o we_o know_v by_o light_n and_o a_o clear_a idea_n not_o only_o because_o by_o knowledge_n we_o see_v number_n extension_n and_o the_o essence_n of_o being_n which_o depend_v not_o on_o a_o first_o
