god_n therefore_o this_o fact_n commit_v against_o these_o transcendent_a rule_n thus_o manifest_v to_o they_o just_o call_v to_o god_n for_o their_o transcendent_a punishment_n and_o they_o be_v no_o

in_o all_o his_o way_n for_o their_o good_a for_o to_o they_o god_n make_v it_o manifest_v that_o in_o the_o satisfactory_a righteousness_n of_o this_o seed_n as_o impute_v he_o confer_v all_o good_a

the_o lamb_n blood_n upon_o their_o dwelling_n figure_v that_o only_o in_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n impute_v god_n be_v their_o safety_n in_o the_o day_n of_o wrath_n exod._n 12.13_o all_o this_o and_o more_o successive_o be_v present_v before_o their_o eye_n in_o that_o glorious_a addition_n of_o moses_n law_n to_o the_o promise_n in_o those_o prefiguration_n and_o signification_n and_o all_o leave_v upon_o record_n in_o holy_a writ_n through_o their_o generation_n therefore_o it_o must_v needs_o follow_v by_o undeniable_a consequence_n that_o their_o first_o step_n to_o this_o ungodly_a necessity_n proceed_v from_o their_o own_o remissness_n to_o god_n in_o all_o his_o way_n for_o their_o good_a for_o have_v they_o consider_v these_o thing_n they_o will_v never_o have_v destroy_v he_o by_o who_o all_o felicity_n come_v to_o they_o and_o then_o their_o remissness_n to_o that_o object_n of_o faith_n celestial_a bring_v on_o their_o inordinate_a intensnesse_n to_o

they_o do_v eat_v and_o drink_v and_o rise_v up_o to_o play_v step_n the_o three_o step_n likewise_o they_o so_o bring_v on_o a_o further_a necessity_n as_o a_o three_o step_n for_o the_o future_a namely_o custom_n in_o evil_a hence_o it_o be_v god_n say_v to_o they_o can_v the_o blackmore_n change_v his_o skin_n or_o the_o leopard_n his_o sp●ts_n 13.23_o jerem._n 13.23_o then_o may_v you_o also_o do_v good_a that_o be_v accustom_v to_o do_v evil_a and_o now_o sense_n command_v reason_n under_o the_o pretence_n of_o the_o doctrine_n celestial_a to_o terminate_v in_o a_o good_a adequate_a to_o sensuality_n 26.61_o mat._n 26.61_o for_o from_o this_o ground_n they_o make_v the_o temple_n and_o moses_n chair_n their_o plea_n against_o christ_n and_o his_o doctrine_n not_o from_o love_n to_o the_o mystery_n include_v therein_o as_o lead_v to_o christ_n but_o only_o in_o love_n to_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o temple_n as_o a_o terrestrial_a magnificence_n of_o their_o nation_n likewise_o in_o their_o princely_a priesthood_n as_o it_o be_v a_o worldly_a ordinance_n correspondent_a to_o worldly_a pomp_n and_o dignity_n but_o reject_v christ_n the_o enclose_a mystery_n of_o that_o figure_n thus_o by_o voluntary_a choice_n in_o the_o spirit_n of_o concision_n they_o become_v necessitate_v to_o evil_a in_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a in_o themselves_o as_o the_o felicity_n of_o canaan_n be_v good_a in_o itself_o and_o to_o kill_v christ_n in_o the_o truth_n as_o abraham_n do_v in_o the_o type_n to_o the_o redemption_n of_o the_o world_n be_v good_a but_o to_o they_o evil_a because_o they_o do_v it_o in_o hatred_n to_o he_o as_o john_n 8._o &_o 40._o because_o his_o doctrine_n be_v a_o enemy_n not_o to_o they_o but_o to_o their_o pride_n in_o terrestrial_a

four_o step_n and_o so_o come_v on_o a_o four_o step_n of_o their_o necessity_n in_o sin_n and_o consequent_o their_o universal_a rejection_n from_o he_o as_o the_o just_a punishment_n of_o their_o

see_v he_o according_a to_o their_o light_n as_o their_o reason_n be_v able_a in_o their_o day_n of_o grace_n therefore_o god_n now_o deny_v they_o the_o gift_n of_o faith_n to_o see_v his_o glory_n in_o belief_n of_o truth_n even_o when_o their_o eye_n do_v look_v upon_o the_o lord_n of_o glory_n and_o see_v his_o great_a work_n luke_n 10_o 8.22_o likewise_o when_o he_o behold_v jerusalem_n he_o

have_v do_v so_o many_o miracle_n before_o they_o yet_o they_o believe_v not_o on_o he_o that_o the_o say_n of_o esayas_n the_o prophet_n may_v be_v fulfil_v that_o he_o say_v lord_z who_o believe_v our_o report_n and_o to_o who_o be_v the_o arm_n of_o the_o lord_n reveal_v and_o saint_n john_n say_v therefore_o they_o can_v not_o believe_v because_o esayas_n say_v again_o he_o have_v blind_v

further_o object_v the_o second_o adam_n body_n and_o soul_n be_v separate_v and_o his_o body_n raise_v from_o the_o grave_n not_o a_o spiritual_a but_o a_o natural_a body_n of_o flesh_n and_o blood_n therefore_o man_n natural_a body_n of_o flesh_n and_o blood_n do_v inherit_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n in_o the_o glory_n of_o angel_n the_o second_o adam_n must_v be_v consider_v as_o a_o sinner_n

of_o god_n give_v we_o imputative_o in_o he_o but_o if_o the_o first_o adam_n have_v keep_v the_o covenant_n than_o no_o sin_n therefore_o no_o separation_n of_o god_n from_o he_o or_o the_o soul_n

that_o have_v fulfil_v all_o righteousness_n for_o the_o restauration_n of_o the_o world_n that_o he_o may_v say_v to_o doubt_v thomas_n and_o true_o to●_n reach_v hither_o thy_o finger_n and_o

that_o shadow_v forth_o the_o divine_a glory_n to_o man_n or_o angel_n but_o i_o mean_v it_o shall_v have_v be_v and_o shall_v be_v partaker_n of_o the_o same_o general_a nature_n supernaturallize_v as_o shall_v be_v the_o body_n of_o mankind_n in_o some_o degree_n but_o if_o adam_n have_v keep_v the_o covenant_n than_o it_o shall_v not_o grow_o have_v travail_v as_o now_o it_o do_v to_o be_v deliver_v from_o the_o bondage_n of_o corruption_n into_o the_o glorious_a liberty_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n for_o then_o because_o no_o sin_n no_o corruption_n or_o vanit●_n but_o in_o its_o natural_a perfection_n together_o with_o mankind_n in_o his_o pure_a natural_n it_o shall_v have_v more_o sweet_o travail_v to_o its_o supercelestial_a perfection_n and_o so_o to_o man_n it_o shall_v

the_o elementary_a body_n of_o the_o terrestrial_a and_z and_o celestial_a globe_n be_v change_v into_o a_o spiritual_a nature_n and_o thus_o much_o of_o the_o glorious_a liberty_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n shall_v this_o universe_n be_v partaker_n of_o so_o it_o must_v be_v change_v as_o say_v the_o text_n thou_o shall_v change_v they_o and_o they_o shall_v be_v change_v that_o be_v as_o

supernatural_o righteous_a in_o the_o improvement_n of_o the_o covenant_n so_o it_o now_o shall_v be_v again_o by_o the_o second_o adam_n restore_v to_o the_o glorious_a liberty_n of_o the_o child_n of_o god_n as_o saint_n paul_n affirm_v it_o travail_v until_o now_o rom._n 8.21_o 22_o 23_o 33._o so_o much_o for_o the_o four_o point_n namely_o what_o be_v the_o issue_n or_o intend_a end_n of_o god_n covenant_n with_o the_o first_o adam_n here_o observe_v first_o as_o god_n shadow_v out_o himself_o to_o man_n perceivance_n 5.13_o perceivance_n or_o these_o shadow_n may_v be_v call_v discovery_n or_o light_n because_o the_o apostle_n give_v this_o definition_n that_o that_o which_o manife_v be_v light_n eph._n 5.13_o 1._o by_o the_o perfection_n of_o the_o creation_n 2._o by_o the_o supernatural_a prefiguration_n of_o the_o covenant_n 3._o and_o will_v in_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o elect_a angel_n by_o the_o most_o immediate_a expression_n of_o his_o essential_a perfection_n whence_o observe_v that_o god_n essential_a glory_n essential_o consider_v be_v unperceiveable_a by_o man_n and_o angel_n and_o only_o know_v to_o himself_o and_o the_o ground_n be_v by_o 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 natural_a holiness_n be_v a_o mean_n by_o improvement_n to_o a_o supernatural_a
