be_v abrogate_a than_o the_o way_n of_o god_n that_o be_v change_v for_o those_o law_n which_o god_n have_v give_v to_o the_o jew_n by_o the_o ministry_n of_o angel_n be_v to_o be_v abrogate_a at_o the_o come_n of_o j._n c._n the_o figure_n be_v to_o cease_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o true_a messiah_n and_o his_o mystery_n but_o the_o power_n which_o the_o angel_n have_v over_o man_n shall_v never_o be_v change_v because_o the_o general_a law_n by_o which_o god_n have_v give_v they_o this_o power_n shall_v never_o be_v abolish_v unless_o perhaps_o when_o the_o holy_a city_n shall_v be_v build_v and_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v have_v give_v up_o his_o kingdom_n to_o his_o father_n and_o bring_v to_o nought_o all_o power_n and_o god_n shall_v be_v all_o in_o all_o till_o this_o happy_a time_n the_o angel_n in_o dependence_n upon_o j._n c._n their_o head_n will_v always_o work_v in_o the_o spiritual_a building_n of_o the_o church_n and_o god_n act_v in_o they_o and_o by_o they_o according_a to_o the_o same_o law_n will_v produce_v a_o thousand_o and_o a_o thousand_o different_a effect_n and_o yet_o according_a to_o my_o principle_n can_v be_v suppose_v to_o be_v in_o the_o least_o unconstant_a for_o though_o by_o particular_a will_n he_o cure_v as_o i_o may_v say_v the_o defect_n which_o may_v follow_v these_o law_n when_o order_n require_v it_o i_o have_v sufficient_o explain_v this_o elsewhere_o though_o he_o guide_v our_o conductor_n that_o they_o may_v faithful_o execute_v his_o design_n yet_o since_o his_o way_n be_v always_o the_o same_o it_o sufficient_o appear_v that_o it_o be_v not_o through_o inconstancy_n that_o he_o sometime_o act_n against_o the_o ordinary_a course_n of_o his_o providence_n but_o because_o he_o be_v oblige_v to_o have_v respect_n unto_o all_o his_o attribute_n as_o well_o as_o his_o immutability_n object_n vi_o the_o author_n of_o the_o treatise_n say_v that_o he_o be_v persuade_v that_o these_o two_o natural_a law_n which_o be_v the_o most_o simple_a of_o all_o viz._n that_o all_o motion_n proceed_v or_o tend_v to_o proceed_v in_o a_o right_a line_n and_o that_o when_o body_n strike_v upon_o one_o another_o their_o motion_n be_v communicate_v proportionable_o to_o the_o magnitude_n of_o the_o body_n which_o strike_v upon_o one_o another_o be_v sufficient_a to_o produce_v such_o a_o world_n as_o we_o see_v i_o mean_v the_o heaven_n the_o star_n the_o planet_n the_o comet_n the_o earth_n the_o water_n the_o air_n and_o the_o fire_n in_o a_o word_n the_o element_n and_o all_o body_n except_o those_o which_o be_v organise_v and_o animate_v this_o therefore_o will_v have_v be_v the_o most_o simple_a way_n of_o produce_v the_o world_n to_o have_v stay_v till_o it_o have_v form_v itself_o of_o the_o matter_n which_o god_n have_v create_v and_o put_v into_o motion_n according_a to_o these_o two_o law_n without_o employ_v therein_o particular_a will_n this_o suppose_a i_o see_v not_o what_o the_o author_n can_v answer_v to_o a_o libertine_n who_o shall_v thus_o accost_v he_o therefore_o according_a to_o you_o that_o which_o be_v say_v in_o genesis_n be_v not_o true_a for_o on_o the_o one_o hand_n you_o maintain_v it_o be_v evident_a that_o god_n can_v falsify_v himself_o and_o be_v infinite_o wise_a can_v but_o act_v wise_o and_o that_o it_o will_v not_o to_o be_v to_o act_v wise_o to_o do_v that_o by_o compound_a way_n and_o particular_a will_n which_o he_o may_v execute_v by_o simple_a way_n and_o general_a will_n and_o on_o the_o other_o you_o teach_v i_o that_o the_o world_n such_o as_o we_o see_v it_o to_o be_v may_v have_v be_v produce_v by_o these_o two_o natural_a law_n which_o be_v the_o most_o simple_a of_o all_o other_o therefore_o god_n have_v make_v it_o after_o this_o manner_n and_o not_o as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o genesis_n where_o the_o creation_n be_v describe_v as_o if_o it_o have_v be_v make_v by_o particular_a will_n and_o not_o by_o these_o simple_a way_n which_o yet_o you_o teach_v we_o be_v unworthy_a of_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n will_v you_o tell_v he_o that_o god_n have_v his_o reason_n for_o this_o but_o this_o libertine_n will_v answer_v that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o reason_n why_o god_n shall_v falsify_v himself_o why_o he_o who_o be_v infinite_o wise_a shall_v not_o act_v wise_o why_o it_o be_v in_o his_o power_n to_o have_v form_v a_o work_n worthy_a of_o himself_o by_o a_o uniform_a constant_a and_o regular_a conduct_n he_o have_v choose_v one_o which_o be_v unequal_a changeable_a irregular_a and_o which_o show_v inconstancy_n and_o ignorance_n in_o he_o who_o observe_v it_o etc._n etc._n answer_n i_o shall_v say_v to_o this_o libertine_n that_o he_o little_o understand_v what_o he_o say_v and_o he_o who_o undertake_v to_o overthrow_v the_o sentiment_n of_o any_o author_n shall_v take_v they_o aright_o for_o nothing_o be_v more_o easy_a than_o to_o confound_v thing_n when_o the_o matter_n treat_v of_o be_v obscure_a in_o themselves_o according_a to_o your_o opinion_n say_v this_o libertine_n that_o which_o moses_n relate_v of_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n in_o genesis_n be_v not_o true_a fair_o and_o soft_o i_o shall_v answer_v you_o neither_o understand_v what_o the_o scripture_n say_v nor_o what_o my_o sentiment_n be_v as_o for_o genesis_n i_o shall_v not_o explain_v it_o to_o you_o but_o this_o be_v my_o sense_n observe_v it_o well_o i_o maintain_v that_o god_n always_o act_n by_o the_o most_o simple_a way_n but_o it_o must_v be_v always_o suppose_v that_o there_o be_v a_o equality_n in_o all_o thing_n else_o whether_o in_o the_o way_n or_o in_o the_o work_n as_o i_o have_v so_o often_o explain_v it_o must_v also_o be_v suppose_v that_o order_n do_v not_o require_v that_o he_o shall_v compound_v his_o way_n god_n never_o falsify_v himself_o very_o well_o but_o to_o change_v conduct_n be_v not_o always_o to_o falsify_v himself_o god_n may_v nay_o he_o ought_v to_o compound_v his_o way_n when_o that_o which_o he_o owe_v to_o his_o wisdom_n his_o justice_n to_o any_o one_o of_o his_o attribute_n be_v more_o considerable_a than_o that_o which_o he_o owe_v to_o his_o immutability_n god_n will_v falsify_v himself_o if_o upon_o some_o occasion_n he_o do_v not_o change_v his_o conduct_n for_o he_o will_v not_o do_v that_o justice_n which_o he_o owe_v to_o himself_o and_o his_o divine_a attribute_n and_o thus_o will_v not_o observe_v that_o immutable_a order_n which_o be_v proper_o his_o law_n or_o the_o inviolable_a rule_n of_o his_o proceed_n he_o will_v cease_v to_o love_v himself_o to_o act_v for_o himself_o he_o will_v sin_v you_o look_v upon_o thing_n only_o on_o one_o side_n you_o compare_v the_o conduct_n of_o god_n only_o with_o his_o immutability_n compare_v his_o way_n with_o all_o his_o attribute_n and_o you_o may_v easy_o comprehend_v that_o though_o there_o can_v be_v no_o reason_n which_o oblige_v god_n to_o falsify_v himself_o there_o may_v be_v many_o which_o oblige_v he_o to_o change_v his_o conduct_n and_o do_v not_o ask_v i_o in_o such_o and_o such_o occurrence_n what_o be_v his_o reason_n for_o neither_o i_o nor_o any_o person_n else_o can_v be_v assure_v that_o we_o know_v they_o this_o in_o reason_n be_v enough_o to_o silence_v this_o libertine_n for_o though_o i_o do_v not_o take_v upon_o i_o to_o know_v the_o particular_a reason_n why_o god_n cease_v to_o follow_v his_o general_a law_n or_o to_o act_v by_o the_o most_o simple_a way_n i_o think_v i_o know_v that_o he_o never_o cease_v to_o follow_v these_o law_n and_o that_o he_o never_o compound_v his_o way_n but_o when_o order_n oblige_v he_o thereunto_o and_o this_o i_o think_v i_o have_v prove_v so_o many_o way_n that_o it_o be_v to_o no_o purpose_n to_o do_v it_o any_o more_o nevertheless_o let_v we_o examine_v the_o difficulty_n to_o the_o bottom_n i_o maintain_v that_o god_n have_v make_v the_o world_n by_o the_o most_o simple_a way_n for_o i_o say_v that_o in_o form_v the_o world_n he_o have_v observe_v these_o two_o law_n as_o far_o as_o it_o be_v possible_a the_o form_n of_o body_n proceed_v only_o from_o the_o various_a motion_n of_o those_o body_n which_o be_v about_o and_o within_o they_o now_o i_o maintain_v that_o this_o variety_n of_o motion_n which_o be_v at_o present_a observe_v and_o that_o of_o the_o motion_n which_o have_v be_v make_v from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n be_v the_o effect_n of_o the_o same_o law_n of_o the_o communication_n of_o motion_n by_o which_o this_o libertine_n will_v have_v have_v the_o world_n make_v successive_o by_o little_a and_o little_a that_o god_n may_v have_v spare_v his_o particular_a will_n this_o libertine_n do_v not_o observe_v that_o he_o put_v into_o his_o consequence_n that_o condition_n which_o render_v it_o
