A75693	An argument proving, that according to the covenant of eternal life revealed in the Scriptures, man may be translated from hence into that eternal life, without passing through death altho the humane nature of Christ himself could not be thus translated till he had passed through death.	Asgill, John, 1659-1738.	1700 (1700)	Wing A3926; ESTC R208477	45,123	107

yet_o when_o i_o say_v he_o do_v not_o do_v it_o voluntary_o i_o do_v mean_v that_o he_o do_v it_o unwilling_o for_o as_o he_o do_v it_o with_o all_o frankness_n and_o generosity_n of_o his_o will_n i_o lay_v down_o my_o life_n of_o myself_o so_o he_o do_v it_o with_o the_o high_a affection_n of_o love_n to_o mankind_n great_a love_n than_o this_o have_v no_o man_n that_o he_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n for_o his_o friend_n but_o i_o mean_v he_o do_v not_o do_v it_o pure_o voluntary_o without_o a_o necessity_n of_o do_v it_o and_o a_o consideration_n for_o it_o first_o then_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n upon_o god_n himself_o god_n tell_v adam_n that_o if_o he_o do_v eat_v he_o shall_v die_v the_o devil_n tell_v eve_n that_o they_o may_v eat_v and_o not_o die_v and_o these_o be_v the_o first_o word_n speak_v to_o man_n by_o god_n or_o the_o devil_n upon_o the_o truth_n or_o falsehood_n whereof_o the_o very_a being_n of_o they_o both_o be_v to_o depend_v for_o ever_o for_o which_o ever_o of_o they_o can_v maintain_v the_o truth_n of_o his_o word_n against_o the_o other_o he_o must_v have_v be_v god_n and_o the_o other_o the_o devil_n and_o therefore_o god_n have_v turn_v the_o lie_n upon_o the_o devil_n he_o be_v from_o thence_o call_v a_o liar_n from_o the_o beginning_n and_o the_o father_n of_o it_o and_o will_v never_o be_v believe_v again_o for_o ever_o god_n can_v not_o have_v dispense_v with_o his_o word_n without_o complement_a the_o devil_n with_o his_o godhead_n in_o take_v the_o lie_n upon_o himself_o and_o this_o he_o can_v not_o do_v for_o god_n can_v lie_v without_o undeify_v himself_o and_o this_o he_o can_v do_v because_o all_o his_o quality_n be_v of_o his_o essence_n he_o can_v change_v they_o that_o god_n can_v change_v be_v not_o a_o deficiency_n in_o his_o nature_n but_o the_o perfection_n of_o his_o essence_n which_o can_v be_v nothing_o but_o himself_o for_o as_o it_o be_v the_o happiness_n of_o imperfect_a being_n to_o be_v capable_a of_o change_n in_o order_n to_o be_v make_v better_o so_o it_o be_v the_o happiness_n of_o perfect_a being_n to_o be_v incapable_a of_o change_n whereby_o to_o be_v make_v worse_a man_n can_v lie_v because_o he_o can_v speak_v truth_n there_o be_v nothing_o that_o a_o man_n can_v say_v but_o what_o he_o can_v unsay_v and_o falsify_v by_o the_o change_n of_o his_o mind_n which_o he_o can_v change_v only_o because_o he_o can_v fix_v it_o as_o a_o man_n that_o have_v a_o break_a arm_n can_v turn_v it_o every_o way_n because_o he_o can_v fix_v it_o no_o way_n nothing_o but_o a_o absolute_a power_n can_v be_v absolute_a in_o any_o thing_n therefore_o man_n have_v no_o absolute_a power_n can_v absolute_o determine_v his_o own_o will_n every_o change_n of_o which_o subject_n he_o to_o a_o lie_n either_o by_o falsify_v his_o former_a resolution_n or_o his_o present_a inclination_n but_o god_n have_v a_o absolute_a power_n to_o determine_v his_o own_o will_n he_o can_v not_o change_v it_o after_o he_o have_v so_o determine_v it_o for_o what_o be_v fix_v can_v be_v change_v wherefore_o god_n can_v not_o dispense_v with_o the_o breach_n of_o his_o law_n to_o pardon_v it_o which_o be_v not_o for_o want_v of_o mercy_n in_o god_n for_o he_o have_v and_o do_v daily_o pardon_v ten_o thousand_o time_n the_o sin_n commit_v by_o man_n against_o the_o moral_a law_n which_o seem_v as_o great_a offence_n as_o this_o because_o the_o moral_a law_n have_v in_o itself_o a_o defeasance_n or_o condition_n annex_v to_o it_o at_o the_o time_n of_o the_o first_o deliver_v of_o it_o except_o you_o repent_v you_o shall_v perish_v by_o which_o this_o law_n may_v be_v fulfil_v without_o a_o performance_n of_o it_o in_o specie_fw-la by_o do_v another_o thing_n which_o be_v admit_v to_o be_v do_v instead_o of_o it_o a_o defeasance_n be_v not_o the_o same_o thing_n with_o the_o thing_n to_o be_v defeat_v but_o something_o collateral_a to_o it_o and_o thus_o repentance_n which_o be_v not_o a_o performance_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n be_v nevertheless_o accept_v instead_o of_o it_o but_o in_o this_o law_n deliver_v to_o adam_n there_o be_v no_o such_o condition_n annex_v to_o it_o at_o the_o first_o delivery_n the_o word_n be_v absolute_a in_o the_o day_n that_o thou_o eat_v thereof_o thou_o shall_v die_v which_o leave_v no_o room_n for_o repentance_n adam_n do_v repent_v but_o he_o find_v no_o place_n for_o it_o he_o can_v not_o find_v any_o word_n of_o the_o law_n to_o which_o he_o can_v apply_v his_o repentance_n to_o do_v he_o any_o good_a and_o when_o a_o deed_n have_v no_o defeasance_n or_o condition_n annex_v to_o it_o at_o the_o time_n of_o the_o first_o delivery_n it_o can_v be_v add_v to_o it_o afterward_o and_o hence_o though_o this_o law_n deliver_v to_o adam_n be_v at_o the_o time_n of_o the_o first_o delivery_n a_o law_n of_o life_n and_o death_n yet_o the_o law_n of_o life_n be_v end_v by_o breach_n of_o the_o condition_n there_o be_v then_o nothing_o leave_v but_o the_o law_n of_o death_n which_o become_v absolute_a without_o any_o condition_n and_o this_o put_v god_n upon_o a_o necessity_n of_o execute_v the_o sentence_n of_o the_o law_n upon_o man_n in_o specie_fw-la or_o make_v himself_o a_o liar_n which_o he_o can_v not_o do_v and_o therefore_o the_o necessity_n upon_o he_o be_v absolute_a which_o necessity_n be_v all_o the_o while_n a_o contradiction_n to_o his_o nature_n which_o be_v love_n to_o man._n god_n be_v love_n and_o this_o divide_v he_o against_o himself_o and_o lay_v he_o under_o a_o necessity_n of_o find_v out_o a_o invention_n to_o reconcile_v his_o truth_n to_o his_o love_n and_o his_o love_n to_o his_o truth_n and_o this_o necessity_n upon_o god_n draw_v a_o necessity_n upon_o christ_n to_o come_v and_o execute_v this_o invention_n because_o none_o can_v do_v it_o but_o himself_o now_o there_o be_v such_o a_o necessity_n for_o christ_n assume_v the_o humane_a
