reason_n of_o that_o vast_a distance_n that_o be_v between_o a_o infinite_a essence_n and_o creature_n that_o be_v at_o best_a but_o finite_a but_o yet_o further_o observe_v that_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o god_n do_v expressive_o manifest_v himself_o to_o man_n and_o angel_n by_o object_n suitable_a to_o their_o apprehension_n so_o far_o forth_o he_o be_v to_o they_o a_o object_n of_o love_n and_o most_o tranquil_a consolation_n and_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o he_o appear_v such_o a_o good_a and_o much_o more_o than_o they_o can_v comprehend_v so_o far_o forth_o he_o be_v to_o man_n and_o angel_n a_o object_n of_o divine_a worship_n and_o adoration_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a so_o far_o as_o god_n do_v shadow_n out_o himself_o to_o man_n and_o angel_n in_o object_n proceed_v against_o they_o and_o contrary_a to_o they_o and_o more_o than_o their_o apprehension_n can_v comprehend_v so_o farforth_o he_o be_v to_o man_n and_o angel_n a_o object_n of_o dolour_n dread_n and_o ever_o sink_v desperation_n second_o observe_v that_o in_o either_o estate_n adam_n can_v not_o convey_v to_o his_o posterity_n more_o than_o what_o himself_o enjoy_v therefore_o as_o in_o his_o second_o estate_n by_o covenant_n he_o can_v not_o convey_v his_o natural_a perfection_n alone_o if_o he_o have_v keep_v covenant_n but_o both_o natural_a and_o supernatural_a joint_o together_o because_o than_o his_o
