duty_n but_o i_o pray_v you_o tell_v i_o have_v you_o receive_v all_o the_o life_n and_o mercy_n you_o do_v expect_v be_v you_o in_o heaven_n already_o have_v you_o all_o the_o grace_n that_o you_o

a_o certainty_n of_o it_o hereafter_o as_o you_o do_v desire_n if_o not_o why_o may_v you_o not_o labour_v for_o it_o and_o to_o show_v you_o the_o vanity_n and_o intolerable_a damnable_a wickedness_n of_o this_o doctrine_n let_v i_o put_v to_o you_o a_o few_o more_o consideration_n 1._o do_v you_o think_v you_o may_v act_v for_o your_o natural_a life_n to_o preserve_v it_o or_o recover_v and_o repair_v any_o decay_n in_o it_o if_o not_o why_o will_v you_o labour_v and_o eat_v and_o drink_v and_o sleep_v why_o will_v you_o seek_v to_o the_o physician_n when_o you_o be_v sick_a do_v you_o all_o this_o in_o mere_a love_n or_o thankfulness_n or_o from_o obedience_n which_o have_v no_o further_a end_n or_o if_o you_o do_v why_o may_v you_o not_o do_v as_o much_o for_o your_o soul_n as_o for_o your_o body_n be_v it_o less_o worth_a or_o do_v not_o god_n require_v it_o or_o will_v he_o not_o give_v you_o leave_v have_v not_o christ_n redeem_v your_o body_n also_o and_o be_v it_o not_o his_o purchase_n and_o charge_n and_o work_v to_o provide_v for_o it_o and_o yet_o you_o know_v well_o enough_o that_o this_o excuse_v not_o you_o from_o your_o duty_n and_o why_o then_o shall_v it_o excuse_v you_o from_o use_v mean_n for_o your_o soul_n 2._o nay_o have_v not_o god_n put_v you_o upon_o far_o more_o for_o your_o soul_n then_o for_o your_o body_n for_o this_o life_n he_o have_v bid_v you_o be_v careful_a for_o nothing_o cast_v all_o your_o care_n on_o he_o for_o he_o care_v for_o you_o care_v not_o for_o to_o morrow_n why_o be_v you_o careful_a o_o you_o of_o little_a faith_n labour_v not_o for_o the_o food_n that_o perish_v lay_v not_o up_o for_o yourselves_o a_o treasure_n on_o earth_n etc._n etc._n but_o have_v he_o say_v so_o concern_v the_o life_n of_o your_o soul_n in_o immortality_n care_v not_o labour_v not_o lay_v not_o up_o a_o treasure_n in_o heaven_n or_o rather_o have_v he_o not_o command_v you_o the_o clean_a contrary_n to_o care_n to_o fear_v to_o labour_v to_o strive_v to_o fight_v to_o run_v and_o this_o withal_o your_o might_n and_o strength_n and_o yet_o do_v you_o think_v you_o may_v not_o act_v or_o work_v for_o life_n and_o salvation_n 3._o i_o pray_v you_o tell_v i_o do_v you_o ever_o use_v to_o pray_v or_o no_o do_v you_o think_v it_o necessary_a or_o lawful_a to_o pray_v pardon_v i_o for_o put_v such_o gross_a interrogatory_n to_o you_o for_o the_o main_a question_n which_o you_o raise_v be_v far_o more_o gross_a if_o you_o do_v pray_v what_o do_v you_o pray_v for_o be_v it_o only_o for_o your_o body_n or_o also_o for_o your_o soul_n and_o be_v not_o earnest_a pray_v for_o life_n pardon_n and_o salvation_n some_o proper_a kind_n of_o do_v it_o may_v be_v you_o will_v say_v you_o pray_v only_o for_o god_n glory_n and_o for_o the_o church_n but_o have_v not_o god_n as_o much_o care_n of_o his_o church_n and_o his_o glory_n as_o of_o your_o soul_n or_o may_v you_o pray_v for_o other_o man_n soul_n and_o not_o your_o own_o when_o you_o be_v bind_v to_o love_v they_o but_o as_o yourself_o sure_o if_o you_o may_v not_o make_v the_o obtain_n of_o life_n the_o end_n of_o your_o labour_n and_o duty_n you_o may_v not_o make_v it_o the_o end_n of_o your_o prayer_n which_o be_v part_n of_o your_o labour_n and_o duty_n and_o indeed_o according_a to_o the_o opinion_n which_o i_o oppose_v it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o petition_n be_v to_o be_v lay_v aside_o and_o no_o part_n of_o prayer_n lawful_a but_o praise_n and_o thanksgiving_n 4._o do_v you_o not_o forget_v to_o make_v a_o difference_n betwixt_o earth_n and_o heaven_n i_o assure_v you_o if_o you_o do_v it_o will_v prove_v a_o foul_a mistake_n if_o you_o once_o begin_v to_o think_v you_o be_v in_o heaven_n and_o as_o you_o will_v be_v and_o all_o the_o work_n be_v do_v and_o you_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v but_o return_v thanks_o you_o shall_v ere_o long_o i_o warrant_v you_o be_v convince_v roundly_o of_o your_o error_n and_o i_o pray_v you_o what_o do_v you_o less_o by_o this_o opinion_n then_o say_v soul_n take_v thy_o rest_n i_o be_o well_o i_o have_v enough_o for_o if_o you_o must_v not_o labour_v for_o life_n and_o salvation_n but_o only_o in_o thankfulness_n obey_v he_o that_o have_v save_v you_o what_o be_v this_o but_o the_o work_n of_o heaven_n indeed_o there_o and_o only_o there_o we_o shall_v have_v nothing_o to_o do_v but_o to_o love_v and_o joy_n and_o praise_n and_o be_v thankful_a 5._o methinks_v if_o you_o do_v but_o consider_v what_o heaven_n and_o hell_n reward_n and_o the_o punishment_n be_v you_o shall_v easy_o come_v to_o yourself_o and_o the_o truth_n heaven_n and_o reward_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o god_n eternal_o in_o perfection_n hell_n or_o the_o punishment_n be_v most_o in_o the_o loss_n of_o this_o enjoyment_n and_o the_o self-tormenting_n that_o will_v eternal_o follow_v the_o consideration_n thereof_o and_o of_o the_o folly_n that_o procure_v it_o now_o be_v it_o such_o a_o legal_a slavish_a mercenary_a thing_n for_o a_o christian_n to_o seek_v after_o the_o fruition_n of_o god_n or_o to_o be_v careful_a that_o he_o may_v not_o be_v everlasting_o deprive_v of_o it_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o any_o sober_a consider_v man_n can_v think_v so_o 6_o do_v you_o not_o think_v that_o you_o may_v and_o must_v seek_v after_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o god_n in_o those_o beginning_n and_o foretasts_a which_o be_v here_o to_o be_v expect_v may_v not_o that_o be_v the_o end_n of_o your_o duty_n care_n fear_v labour_n watchfulness_n may_v you_o not_o groan_v after_o he_o and_o inquire_v and_o turn_v the_o stream_n of_o your_o endeavour_n this_o way_n and_o may_v you_o not_o be_v jealous_a and_o careful_a and_o watchful_a lest_o you_o shall_v loose_v what_o of_o god_n you_o do_v enjoy_v and_o lest_o any_o strangeness_n or_o displeasure_n shall_v arise_v i_o dare_v not_o question_n but_o that_o this_o be_v the_o very_a business_n which_o you_o mind_n and_o the_o usual_a frame_n of_o your_o spirit_n and_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o you_o can_v think_v it_o our_o duty_n to_o seek_v the_o foretasts_a and_o the_o first_o fruit_n of_o heaven_n and_o yet_o think_v it_o unlawful_a to_o labour_v for_o the_o full_a everlasting_a possession_n how_o can_v these_o hang_v together_o 7_o consider_v serious_o i_o pray_v you_o to_o what_o end_n god_n implant_v such_o affection_n and_o power_n in_o your_o soul._n why_o do_v he_o create_v in_o you_o a_o power_n and_o propensity_n to_o intend_v the_o ultimate_a end_n in_o all_o your_o endeavour_n to_o value_v that_o end_n to_o love_v it_o desire_v it_o study_n and_o care_n how_o to_o obtain_v it_o to_o fear_v the_o loss_n of_o it_o and_o to_o loathe_v all_o that_o resist_v your_o fruition_n to_o seek_v and_o labour_v after_o its_o enjoyment_n why_o be_v the_o love_n of_o ourselves_o and_o desire_v of_o our_o preservation_n so_o natural_a sure_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o you_o to_o care_n and_o desire_n and_o labour_n for_o god_n in_o heaven_n or_o for_o nothing_o and_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o fear_v the_o loss_n of_o this_o or_o to_o fear_v no_o evil_a at_o all_o and_o i_o can_v hardly_o think_v that_o god_n will_v create_v such_o power_n in_o the_o soul_n which_o shall_v be_v utter_o useless_a then_o let_v we_o no_o more_o cry_v down_o the_o abuse_n of_o our_o affection_n and_o power_n but_o the_o use_n of_o they_o and_o so_o turn_v worse_o than_o stoic_n this_o be_v such_o a_o make_v god_n the_o author_n of_o sin_n as_o few_o man_n dare_v ever_o before_o be_v guilty_a of_o and_o certain_o if_o the_o escape_n of_o hell_n and_o the_o obtain_n of_o heaven_n may_v not_o be_v the_o end_n and_o work_v of_o all_o these_o affection_n then_o much_o less_o may_v any_o inferior_a thing_n 8._o nay_o consider_v whether_o you_o do_v not_o make_v the_o soul_n and_o life_n of_o man_n to_o be_v useless_a as_o to_o the_o obtain_n of_o any_o future_a happiness_n and_o so_o you_o take_v down_o the_o bless_a order_n which_o god_n have_v establish_v in_o nature_n by_o creation_n and_o maintain_v in_o the_o constant_a course_n of_o providence_n and_o this_o you_o undeniable_o do_v in_o take_v down_o from_o we_o the_o ultimate_a end_n take_v down_o that_o and_o
of_o divine_n about_o the_o former_a and_o exceed_v difficult_a it_o be_v to_o determine_v because_o it_o have_v please_v the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o speak_v of_o it_o so_o spare_o and_o who_o can_v here_o understand_v any_o more_o than_o be_v write_v 1._o whether_o adam_n soul_n and_o body_n shall_v immediate_o have_v be_v annihilate_v or_o destroy_v so_o as_o to_o become_v insensible_a 2._o or_o whether_o his_o soul_n shall_v have_v be_v immediate_o seprarate_v from_o his_o body_n as_o we_o be_v at_o death_n and_o so_o be_v the_o only_a sufferer_n of_o the_o pain_n 3._o or_o if_o so_o whether_o there_o shall_v have_v be_v any_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n after_o any_o certain_a space_n of_o time_n that_o so_o it_o may_v suffer_v as_o well_o as_o the_o soul_n 4._o or_o whether_o soul_n and_o body_n without_o separation_n shall_v have_v go_v down_o quick_a together_o into_o hell_n or_o into_o any_o place_n or_o state_n of_o torment_n short_a of_o hell_n 5._o or_o whether_o both_o shall_v have_v live_v a_o curse_a life_n on_o earth_n through_o everlasting_a in_o exclusion_n from_o paradise_n separation_n from_o god_n favour_n and_o gracious_a presence_n loss_n of_o his_o image_n &_o c_o 6._o or_o whether_o he_o shall_v have_v live_v such_o a_o miserable_a life_n for_o a_o season_n and_o then_o be_v annihilate_v or_o destroy_v 7._o and_o if_o so_o whether_o his_o misery_n on_o earth_n shall_v have_v be_v more_o than_o man_n do_v now_o endure_v and_o the_o more_o important_a be_v these_o question_n of_o because_o of_o some_o other_o that_o depend_v upon_o they_o as_o 1._o what_o death_n it_o be_v that_o christ_n redeem_v we_o from_o 2._o and_o what_o death_n it_o be_v that_o perish_a infant_n die_v or_o that_o our_o guilt_n in_o the_o first_o transgression_n do_v procure_v for_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n against_o the_o first_o covenant_n only_o will_v be_v punish_v with_o no_o other_o death_n then_o that_o which_o be_v threaten_v in_o that_o covenant_n much_o be_v say_v against_o each_o of_o these_o exposition_n of_o that_o first_o threaten_v 1._o against_o the_o first_o i_o have_v say_v somewhat_o before_o and_o that_o in_o 1._o thes._n 1._o 10._o seem_v to_o be_v much_o against_o it_o jesus_n that_o deliver_v we_o from_o the_o wrath_n to_o come_v this_o wrath_n be_v either_o the_o execution_n of_o the_o threaten_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n or_o of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n not_o the_o latter_a for_o christ_n save_v none_o who_o deserve_v it_o from_o that_o therefore_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v the_o wrath_n of_o the_o first_o covenant_n and_o consequent_o that_o covenant_n do_v threaten_v a_o future_a wrath_n to_o all_o sinner_n which_o if_o the_o world_n or_o adam_n himself_o have_v be_v destroy_v or_o annihilate_v immediate_o upon_o his_o fall_n we_o have_v not_o be_v capable_a of_o 2._o against_o the_o second_o sense_n it_o seem_v unlikely_a that_o the_o soul_n shall_v suffer_v alone_o and_o the_o body_n lie_v quiet_o in_o the_o dust_n because_o the_o body_n do_v sin_n as_o well_o as_o the_o soul_n and_o the_o sense_n be_v the_o soul_n inticer_n and_o betrayer_n 3._o against_o the_o three_o there_o be_v no_o intimation_n of_o a_o resurrection_n in_o the_o scripture_n as_o part_v of_o the_o penalty_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n or_o as_o a_o preparative_n to_o it_o that_o adam_n shall_v have_v rise_v again_o to_o be_v condemn_v or_o execute_v if_o christ_n have_v not_o come_v no_o scripture_n speak_v but_o rather_o on_o the_o contrary_a resurrection_n be_v ascribe_v to_o christ_n alone_o 1_o cor._n 15._o 12._o 21._o 22._o 4._o against_o the_o four_o it_o seem_v evident_a by_o the_o execution_n that_o the_o separation_n of_o soul_n and_o body_n be_v at_o least_o part_n of_o the_o death_n that_o be_v threaten_v or_o else_o how_o come_v it_o to_o be_v inflict_v and_o the_o apostle_n say_v plain_o that_o in_o adam_n all_o dye_n viz._n this_o natural_a death_n 1_o cor._n 15._o 22._o 5._o against_o the_o five_o the_o same_o argument_n will_v ●erve_v 6._o concern_v the_o six_o &_o seven_o they_o lie_v open_a to_o the_o same_o objection_n as_o the_o second_o it_o be_v hard_o to_o conclude_v peremptory_o in_o so_o obscure_a a_o case_n if_o we_o know_v certain_o what_o life_n be_v the_o reward_n of_o that_o covenant_n we_o may_v the_o better_o understand_v what_o death_n be_v the_o penalty_n calvin_n and_o many_o more_o interpreter_n think_v that_o if_o adam_n have_v not_o fall_v he_o shall_v after_o a_o season_n have_v be_v translate_v into_o heaven_n without_o death_n as_o enoch_n and_o elias_n but_o i_o know_v no_o scripture_n that_o tell_v we_o so_o much_o whether_o in_o paradise_n terrestrial_a or_o celestial_a i_o certain_o know_v not_o but_o that_o adam_n shall_v have_v live_v in_o happiness_n and_o not_o have_v die_v be_v certain_a see_v therefore_o that_o scripture_n tell_v we_o on_o the_o one_o hand_n that_o death_n be_v the_o wage_n of_o sin_n and_o one_o the_o other_o hand_n that_o jesus_n deliver_v we_o from_o the_o wrath_n to_o come_v the_o 2_o 6_o and_o 7._o exposition_n do_v as_o yet_o seem_v to_o i_o the_o most_o safe_a as_o contain_v that_o punishment_n whereby_o both_o these_o scripture_n be_v fulfil_v beside_o that_o they_o much_o correspond_v to_o the_o execution_n viz._n that_o man_n shall_v live_v here_o for_o a_o season_n a_o die_a life_n separate_v from_o god_n devoid_a of_o his_o image_n subject_n to_o bodily_a curse_n and_o calamity_n dead_a in_o law_n and_o at_o last_o his_o soul_n and_o body_n be_v separate_v his_o body_n turn_v to_o dust_n from_o whence_o it_o come_v and_o his_o soul_n endure_v everlasting_a sorrow_n yet_o nothing_o so_o great_a as_o those_o that_o be_v threaten_v in_o the_o new_a covenant_n the_o objection_n that_o lie_v against_o this_o sense_n be_v easy_a than_o those_o which_o be_v against_o the_o other_o for_o though_o the_o body_n shall_v not_o rise_v to_o torment_v yet_o its_o destruction_n be_v a_o very_a great_a punishment_n and_o the_o soul_n be_v of_o a_o more_o excellent_a and_o durable_a nature_n be_v likely_a to_o have_v have_v the_o great_a and_o more_o durable_a suffering_n and_o though_o the_o body_n have_v a_o chief_a hand_n in_o the_o sin_n yet_o the_o soul_n have_v the_o far_o great_a guilt_n because_o it_o shall_v have_v command_v and_o govern_v the_o body_n as_o the_o fault_n of_o a_o man_n be_v far_o great_a than_o the_o same_o in_o a_o beast_n yet_o i_o do_v not_o positive_o conclude_v that_o the_o body_n shall_v not_o have_v rise_v again_o but_o i_o find_v no_o intimation_n of_o it_o reveal_v in_o the_o scripture_n but_o that_o the_o sentence_n shall_v have_v be_v immediate_o execute_v to_o the_o full_a or_o that_o any_o such_o thing_n be_v conclude_v in_o the_o word_n of_o the_o threat_n in_o the_o day_n thou_o eat_v thou_o shall_v die_v the_o death_n i_o do_v not_o think_v for_o that_o will_v have_v prevent_v both_o the_o be_v the_o sin_n and_o the_o suffering_n of_o his_o posterity_n and_o consequent_o christ_n do_v not_o save_v any_o one_o in_o the_o world_n from_o sin_n or_o suffering_n but_o adam_n and_o eve_n which_o seem_v to_o i_o a_o hard_a say_n though_o i_o know_v much_o may_v be_v say_v for_o it_o thus_o we_o see_v in_o part_n the_o first_o question_n resolve_v what_o death_n it_o be_v that_o the_o law_n do_v threaten_v now_o let_v we_o see_v whether_o this_o be_v the_o same_o that_o christ_n do_v suffer_v and_o if_o we_o take_v the_o threaten_n in_o its_o full_a extent_n as_o it_o express_v not_o only_o the_o penalty_n but_o also_o its_o proper_a subject_n and_o its_o circumstance_n than_o it_o be_v undeniable_a that_o christ_n do_v not_o suffer_v the_o same_o that_o be_v threaten_v for_o the_o law_n threaten_v the_o death_n of_o the_o offender_n but_o christ_n be_v not_o the_o offender_n adam_n shall_v have_v suffer_v for_o ever_o but_o so_o do_v not_o christ_n adam_n

which_o god_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o do_v and_o whether_o the_o loss_n of_o god_n image_n be_v part_n of_o the_o death_n threaten_v or_o rather_o the_o effect_n of_o our_o sin_n only_o execute_v by_o

with_o christ_n to_o be_v the_o same_o thing_n do_v you_o not_o make_v he_o to_o be_v no_o real_a christian_n that_o never_o so_o covenant_v and_o consequent_o he_o to_o be_v no_o visible_a

13._o do_v you_o not_o go_v against_o the_o stream_n of_o all_o divine_n in_o deny_v the_o proper_a act_n of_o faith_n as_o it_o justify_v to_o be_v either_o recumbency_n affiance_n persuasion_n or_o

so_o do_v you_o also_o in_o make_v the_o acceptance_n of_o christ_n person_n and_o office_n to_o be_v the_o justify_v act_n and_o not_o the_o receive_n of_o his_o righteousness_n and_o of_o pardon_n 16._o how_o can_v you_o reconcile_v your_o justification_n by_o work_n with_o that_o of_o rom._n 3._o 24_o &_o 4._o 4_o 5_o 6_o 11._o i_o desire_v some_o satisfaction_n in_o that_o which_o

1._o if_o you_o say_v that_o adam_n shall_v have_v go_v quick_a to_o hell_n you_o contradict_v many_o scripture_n which_o make_v our_o temporal_a death_n to_o be_v the_o wage_n of_o sin_n 2._o if_o

make_v not_o hell_n but_o only_o temporal_a death_n to_o be_v due_a too_o or_o deserve_v by_o the_o sin_n of_o believer_n see_v the_o gospel_n only_o according_a to_o this_o opinion_n shall_v threaten_v eternal_a death_n and_o not_o the_o law_n but_o the_o gospel_n threaten_v it_o to_o none_o but_o unbeliever_n you_o may_v easy_o have_v spare_v i_o this_o labour_n and_o gather_v all_o this_o answer_n from_o the_o place_n in_o the_o book_n where_o i_o handle_v it_o but_o because_o other_o reader_n may_v need_v as_o many_o word_n as_o you_o i_o grudge_n not_o my_o pain_n to_o your_o

as_o i_o take_v it_o for_o no_o honour_n to_o be_v the_o first_o invent_v a_o new_a opinion_n in_o religion_n so_o neither_o to_o be_v the_o last_o in_o embrace_v the_o truth_n i_o never_o think_v that_o my_o faith_n must_v follow_v the_o major_a vote_n i_o value_v divine_n also_o by_o weight_n and_o not_o by_o number_n perhaps_o i_o may_v think_v that_o one_o pareus_n piscator_fw-la

may_v be_v neglect_v long_o and_o sin_v against_o objective_o and_o christ_n command_n may_v be_v break_v when_o yet_o the_o covenant_n be_v not_o so_o violate_v the_o tenor_n of_o the_o covenant_n me-think_a shall_v put_v you_o quite_o out_o of_o doubt_n of_o all_o this_o which_o be_v he_o that_o believe_v shall_v be_v save_v and_o he_o that_o believe_v not_o shall_v be_v damn_v the_o

that_o while_o they_o be_v in_o a_o damnable_a state_n that_o be_v in_o a_o state_n wherein_o they_o shall_v have_v be_v damn_v if_o they_o have_v so_o die_v for_o than_o their_o unbelief_n have_v be_v final_a but_o your_o doubt_n may_v be_v whether_o they_o do_v not_o deserve_v damnation_n while_o they_o be_v in_o their_o unbelief_n for_o resist_a grace_n i_o answer_v you_o as_o before_o 1._o i_o look_v upon_o no_o punishment_n as_o deserve_v in_o sensu_fw-la forensi_fw-la in_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o law_n but_o what_o be_v threaten_v by_o that_o law_n now_o you_o may_v easy_o resolve_v
