aforesaid_a be_v clear_a for_o the_o text_n say_v it_o travel_v until_o now_o yet_o here_o note_n by_o the_o way_n that_o the_o continuation_n of_o the_o good_a thing_n in_o nature_n in_o the_o

from_o nature_n by_o virtue_n of_o the_o creation_n as_o such_o for_o that_o be_v lose_v in_o the_o fall_n as_o be_v employ_v in_o the_o text_n because_o it_o say_v the_o creation_n be_v not_o subject_a unto_o vanity_n willing_o that_o be_v by_o its_o own_o natural_a instinct_n but_o by_o reason_n of_o god_n who_o cause_v the_o creation_n to_o depend_v first_o upon_o the_o operation_n of_o the_o first_o adam_n and_o then_o upon_o the_o second_o adam_n as_o be_v employ_v in_o the_o text_n namely_o by_o reason_n of_o he_o who_o have_v subdue_v the_o same_o in_o hope_n from_o whence_o the_o earnest_a expectation_n of_o the_o creature_n or_o creation_n wait_v for_o the_o manifestation_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n yet_o again_o note_v this_o by_o the_o way_n that_o although_o the_o creation_n by_o man_n fall_n lose_v its_o blessedness_n to_o its_o self_n and_o to_o man_n yet_o it_o lose_v not_o its_o be_v no_o more_o than_o the_o apostate_n angel_n or_o damn_a man_n which_o detain_v their_o be_v to_o eternity_n for_o the_o be_v of_o all_o thing_n be_v ground_v on_o god_n essence_n only_o and_o never_o depend_v on_o either_o adam_n operation_n and_o because_o the_o creation_n thus_o travel_v by_o the_o force_n of_o god_n favour_n in_o christ_n it_o be_v the_o ground_n why_o the_o psalmist_n sweet_o sing_v that_o jehovah_n be_v good_a to_o all_o and_o his_o tender_a mercy_n be_v over_o all_o his_o work_n and_o if_o tender_a mercy_n be_v over_o all_o than_o misery_n be_v first_o over_o all_o for_o misery_n be_v mercy_n most_o proper_a object_n to_o which_o mercy_n be_v extend_v from_o the_o premise_n thus_o prove_v 145.9_o psal_n 145.9_o follow_v this_o conclusion_n that_o the_o voice_n language_n or_o speech_n of_o the_o whole_a creation_n of_o

be_v the_o general_a voice_n of_o glad-tiding_n of_o god_n to_o man_n by_o jesus_n christ_n satisfactory_a righteousness_n impute_v for_o we_o see_v its_o tendency_n and_o dependency_n to_o blessedness_n hang_v only_o upon_o that_o so_o that_o in_o a_o word_n the_o whole_a creation_n in_o general_n be_v the_o voice_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o in_o the_o

universal_o suitable_a to_o all_o mankind_n in_o this_o respect_n second_o this_o rule_n tender_v to_o man_n not_o only_o a_o good_a to_o be_v receive_v by_o his_o operation_n according_a to_o it_o but_o also_o his_o sweet_a and_o chief_a good_a namely_o to_o enjoy_v god_n in_o belief_n of_o the_o truth_n in_o this_o life_n and_o according_a to_o truth_n to_o eternity_n in_o the_o next_o and_o so_o this_o rule_n be_v suitable_a to_o man_n will_n who_o natural_a property_n be_v to_o follow_v good_a or_o as_o it_o appear_v so_o to_o be_v as_o the_o natural_a property_n of_o the_o eye_n be_v to_o follow_v the_o light_n wherefore_o the_o apostate_n angel_n come_v to_o we_o in_o our_o first_o parent_n as_o be_v prove_v in_o appearance_n of_o a_o good_a wherefore_o this_o rule_n be_v universal_o suitable_a to_o all_o man_n in_o this_o respect_n three_o ever_o since_o the_o fall_n of_o adam_n god_n in_o his_o word_n require_v no_o man_n by_o his_o working_n to_o attain_v eternal_a

by_o god_n himself_o therefore_o this_o rule_n be_v universal_o suitable_a to_o all_o man_n none_o except_v but_o christ_n himself_o four_o because_o the_o natural_a liberty_n of_o man_n will_n consist_v in_o this_o namely_o to_o choose_v and_o refuse_v all_o object_n as_o it_o like_v they_o or_o as_o it_o like_v they_o not_o as_o be_v prove_v and_o because_o this_o rule_n tender_v a_o

therefore_o it_o be_v universal_o suitable_a to_o all_o in_o this_o respect_n none_o except_v five_o because_o this_o just_a and_o merciful_a rule_n admit_v mercy_n to_o man_n after_o he_o have_v not_o do_v well_o according_a to_o his_o say_a posture_n man_n be_v ever_o since_o the_o fall_v imperfect_a therefore_o this_o rule_n be_v suitable_a universal_o to_o all_o man_n none_o except_v but_o christ_n the_o lord_n six_o because_o it_o be_v proper_a to_o all_o man_n which_o propound_v to_o themselves_o a_o end_n in_o their_o working_n to_o ground_v those_o working_n and_o operation_n upon_o their_o own_o belief_n or_o faith_n of_o a_o good_a to_o be_v attain_v and_o attainable_a as_o do_v merchant_n which_o send_v or_o go_v by_o sea_n or_o land_n for_o wealth_n or_o the_o like_a or_o upon_o their_o own_o belief_n of_o some_o evil_a or_o danger_n as_o do_v these_o mariner_n which_o to_o avoid_v the_o danger_n of_o death_n by_o their_o operation_n cast_v the_o wheat_n out_o of_o the_o ship_n into_o the_o sea_n and_o therefore_o because_o this_o rule_n require_v man_n own_o belief_n of_o god_n truth_n and_o the_o say_v good_a and_o to_o avoid_v the_o contrary_a evil_n to_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o all_o their_o operation_n in_o the_o say_a posture_n he_o that_o believe_v shall_v be_v save_v he_o that_o will_v not_o believe_v shall_v be_v damn_v as_o be_v prove_v wherefore_o because_o this_o rule_n require_v all_o man_n thus_o to_o make_v their_o own_o belief_n as_o be_v say_v the_o ground_n of_o their_o operation_n in_o this_o posture_n therefore_o this_o rule_n be_v universal_o suitable_a to_o all_o man_n none_o except_v but_o man_n that_o be_v dead_a in_o sin_n and_o trespass_n by_o acquire_v habit_n herein_o or_o sot_n idiot_n mad_a man_n or_o the_o like_a from_o this_o ground_n it_o be_v that_o our_o lord_n say_v this_o be_v the_o work_n of_o god_n that_o you_o believe_v and_o so_o forth_o and_o from_o this_o ground_n it_o be_v that_o abraham_n

ground_n only_o of_o their_o acceptance_n with_o god_n to_o eternal_a life_n and_o from_o this_o ground_n namely_o that_o man_n make_v his_o own_o belief_n of_o god_n truth_n and_o the_o say_v good_a to_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o his_o operation_n in_o this_o say_a posture_n it_o be_v that_o faith_n be_v so_o high_o extol_v in_o scripture_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n for_o in_o so_o do_v they_o render_v unto_o god_n the_o sole_a glory_n of_o all_o his_o truth_n and_o goodness_n reveal_v in_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n christ_n the_o lord_n and_o his_o impute_a righteousness_n and_o god_n gift_n of_o life_n therein_o seven_o because_o man_n reasonable_a soul_n or_o spirit_n be_v of_o a_o everlasting_a duration_n and_o never_o to_o be_v extinct_a and_o man_n body_n when_o raise_v a_o spiritual_a body_n so_o to_o be_v also_o and_o because_o this_o rule_n tender_v to_o man_n a_o estate_n of_o well_o and_o woe_n of_o a_o everlasting_a duration_n and_o that_o all_o thing_n else_o under_o the_o sun_n be_v only_o suitable_a to_o his_o moldr_a body_n and_o to_o a_o change_n as_o also_o be_v it_o therefore_o this_o rule_n be_v universal_o suitable_a to_o all_o man_n in_o this_o respect_n none_o except_v eight_o because_o this_o rule_n not_o only_o admit_v man_n to_o do_v well_o after_o he_o have_v do_v evil_a as_o be_v say_v but_o when_o he_o so_o return_v admit_v
