and_o suppose_v a_o conflict_n therefore_o we_o say_v that_o god_n be_v good_a and_o holy_a but_o not_o virtuous_a take_v away_o a_o possibility_n of_o evil_n and_o in_o the_o creature_n there_o be_v

and_o orderly_a manner_n produce_v all_o thing_n viz._n according_a to_o all_o the_o variety_n of_o their_o respective_a idea_n in_o the_o divine_a wisdom_n *_o wherefore_o as_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n oblige_v he_o not_o to_o make_v every_o planet_n a_o fix_a star_n or_o every_o star_n a_o sun_n so_o neither_o do_v it_o oblige_v he_o to_o make_v every_o degree_n of_o life_n a_o rational_a

no_o defect_n in_o the_o goodness_n of_o our_o maker_n that_o he_o do_v not_o interpose_v by_o his_o absolute_a omnipotence_n to_o prevent_v our_o actual_a prevarication_n and_o apostasy_n since_o his_o goodness_n oblige_v he_o not_o to_o secure_v we_o upon_o any_o term_n whatever_o but_o upon_o such_o as_o may_v most_o promote_v the_o general_a good_a and_o advantage_n and_o questionless_a it_o be_v much_o better_a that_o such_o as_o will_v wilful_o depart_v from_o the_o law_n of_o their_o bless_a nature_n and_o break_v through_o all_o restraint_n of_o the_o divine_a command_n shall_v

a_o little_a to_o their_o security_n and_o for_o that_o long_a night_n of_o silence_n in_o which_o multitude_n ofsoul_n be_v bury_v before_o they_o descend_v into_o terrestrial_a matter_n it_o be_v but_o the_o due_a reward_n of_o their_o former_a disobedience_n for_o which_o consider_v the_o happy_a circumstance_n in_o which_o they_o be_v make_v they_o deserve_v to_o be_v nothing_o for_o ever_o and_o their_o reinstating_a in_o a_o condition_n of_o life_n and_o self-injoyment_n after_o so_o high_o culpable_a delinquency_n be_v a_o great_a instance_n of_o the_o overflow_a fullness_n of_o the_o divine_a compassion_n and_o benignity_n thus_o than_o we_o see_v that_o god_n make_v we_o lapsible_a and_o permit_v we_o to_o fall_v be_v no_o prejudice_n in_o the_o least_o to_o the_o infinite_a fecundity_n of_o his_o goodness_n and_o his_o make_v all_o thing_n best_o so_o that_o my_o argument_n for_o praeexistence_n bottom_v on_o this_o foundation_n stand_v yet_o firm_a and_o immovable_a notwithstanding_o the_o rude_a assault_n of_o this_o objection_n from_o which_o i_o pass_v to_o a_o four_o chap._n ix_o a_o four_o objection_n against_o the_o argument_n from_o god_n goodness_n viz._n that_o it_o will_v conclude_v as_o well_o that_o the_o world_n be_v infinite_a and_o eternal_a answer_v the_o conclusion_n of_o the_o second_o argument_n for_o praeexistence_n therefore_o four_a it_o will_v be_v except_v if_o we_o may_v argue_v from_o the_o divine_a goodness_n which_o always_o do_v what_o be_v best_a for_o the_o praeexistence_n of_o soul_n then_o we_o may_v as_o reasonable_o thence_o conclude_v that_o the_o world_n be_v both_o infinite_a and_o eternal_a since_o a_o infinite_a communication_n of_o goodness_n be_v better_a than_o a_o finite_a to_o this_o because_o i_o doubt_v i_o have_v distress_v the_o reader_n patience_n already_o i_o answer_v brief_o 1_o every_o one_o that_o believe_v the_o infiniteness_n of_o god_n goodness_n be_v as_o much_o oblige_v to_o answer_v this_o objection_n as_o i_o be_o for_o it_o will_v be_v say_v infinite_a goodness_n do_v good_a infinite_o and_o consequent_o the_o effect_n to_o which_o it_o do_v communicate_v be_v infinite_a for_o if_o they_o be_v not_o so_o it_o may_v have_v communicate_v to_o more_o and_o thereby_o have_v do_v more_o good_a than_o now_o it_o be_v suppose_v to_o do_v and_o by_o consequence_n now_o be_v not_o infinite_a and_o to_o affirm_v that_o goodness_n be_v infinite_a where_o what_o it_o do_v and_o intend_v to_o do_v be_v but_o finite_a will_v be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o contradiction_n since_o goodness_n be_v a_o relative_a term_n and_o in_o god_n always_o respect_v somewhat_o ad_fw-la extra_fw-la for_o he_o can_v be_v say_v to_o be_v good_a to_o himself_o he_o be_v a_o nature_n that_o can_v receive_v no_o additional_a perfection_n wherefore_o this_o objection_n make_v no_o more_o against_o my_o argument_n than_o it_o do_v against_o the_o infinity_o of_o the_o divine_a goodness_n and_o therefore_o i_o be_o no_o more_o concern_v in_o i●_n than_o other_o yea_o two_o lie_v the_o scripture_n affirm_v that_o which_o be_v the_o very_a strength_n of_o my_o argument_n

where_o ever_o he_o himself_o be_v viz._n in_o infinite_a space_n and_o duration_n than_o to_o have_v confine_v his_o omnipotence_n to_o work_v only_o in_o one_o little_a spot_n of_o a_o infinite_a inane_fw-la capacity_n and_o to_o begin_v to_o act_v but_o t●other_n day_n thus_o than_o the_o late_a creation_n and_o finiteness_n of_o the_o world_n seem_v to_o conflict_n with_o the_o undoubted_a

orthodox_n doctrine_n against_o the_o old_a opinion_n of_o the_o eternity_n and_o infinity_n of_o the_o world_n *_o have_v assert_v it_o to_o be_v impossible_a in_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n and_o sure_o the_o divine_a benignity_n oblige_v he_o not_o to_o do_v contradiction_n or_o such_o thing_n as_o in_o the_o very_a notion_n of_o they_o be_v impossible_a but_o in_o the_o case_n of_o

will_v make_v no_o more_o against_o i_o than_o against_o a_o truth_n on_o all_o hand_n confess_v let_v i_o only_o add_v this_o that_o it_o be_v more_o become_v we_o to_o enlarge_v our_o apprehension_n
