A89737	The orthodox evangelist. Or A treatise wherein many great evangelical truths (not a few whereof are much opposed and eclipsed in this perillous hour of the passion of the Gospel) are briefly discussed, cleared, and confirmed: as a further help, for the begeting, and establishing of the faith which is in Jesus. As also the state of the blessed, where; of the condition of their souls from the instant of their dissolution: and of their persons after their resurrection. By John Norton, teacher of the church at Ipswich in New England.	Norton, John, 1606-1663.	1654 (1654)	Wing N1320; Thomason E734_9; ESTC R206951	276,720	371

to_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o believe_v as_o that_o the_o fault_n of_o our_o unbelief_n lie_v whole_o upon_o ourselves_o sol._n for_o the_o better_a remove_n of_o this_o objection_n there_o be_v need_n of_o a_o threefold_a distinction_n 1._o distinguish_v between_o unbelief_n and_o unbelief_n not_o cure_v it_o be_v easy_a to_o conceive_v how_o a_o physician_n may_v be_v the_o cause_n why_o such_o a_o disease_n be_v not_o cure_v of_o which_o disease_n itself_o he_o be_v no_o cause_n unbelief_n consider_v in_o itself_o be_v simple_o a_o sin_n therefore_o god_n be_v no_o way_n the_o cause_n or_o

the_o absence_n of_o the_o sun_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o night_n a_o physician_n be_v the_o cause_n why_o that_o disease_n remain_v uncured_a which_o he_o can_v cure_v but_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o cure_v a_o chirurgeon_n the_o cause_n why_o the_o issue_n remain_v unhealed_a which_o he_o be_v not_o tie_v to_o heal_v thus_o the_o king_n not_o give_v a_o pardon_n be_v the_o cause_n why_o the_o offender_n be_v execute_v who_o no_o law_n oblige_v he_o to_o pardon_v a_o moral_a cause_n be_v such_o a_o cause_n wherein_o the_o agent_n stand_v by_o duty_n bind_v concern_v the_o produce_v

moral_a therefore_o the_o unblamable_a cause_n of_o unbelief_n god_n will_v be_v the_o antecedent_n not_o the_o cause_n of_o unbelief_n the_o abuse_n of_o man_n freewill_n in_o the_o fall_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o unbelief_n unbelief_n not_o cure_v consider_v negative_o be_v in_o respect_n of_o the_o will_n of_o god_n a_o physical_a and_o unblamable_a effect_n of_o a_o physical_a and_o unblamable_a cause_n but_o man_n will_n be_v a_o moral_a cause_n unbelief_n in_o this_o sense_n can_v be_v the_o effect_n thereof_o unbelief_n not_o cure_v privative_o consider_v be_v in_o respect_n of_o god_n as_o a_o blamable_a consequent_a of_o a_o unblamable_a antecedent_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o will_n of_o man_n it_o be_v a_o blamable_a effect_n of_o a_o moral_a and_o blamable_a cause_n in_o adam_n
