In God is peace and order. From the least atom to the highest Angel is found order and harmonie. God self subsisteth; even in senseless elements is implanted a principle of selfe preservation: God is blessed, In every creature having life is imprinted a desire not only of being, but of wel-being God changeth not; The wel-being of all his works is placed in a not changing that Law of nature whereunto they were ordained. Which law giveth unto every flesh its own seede: unto every seede its own body; unto every body, its own Soul; unto every Soul its own felicitie. God is a free agent; As sensible creatures have a free choice to like, or dislike, what unto their senses seemeth pleasing, or displeasing: so reasonable creatures should also have a free will to chuse, or refuse whatsoever to their best understanding seemeth truly good, or truly evill. In attracting sustenance, or in propagating their kind, to confine brutes to be as insensible as trees are, |
In God is peace and order. From the least atom to the highest Angel is found order and harmony. God self subsisteth; even in senseless elements is implanted a principle of self preservation: God is blessed, In every creature having life is imprinted a desire not only of being, but of well-being God changes not; The well-being of all his works is placed in a not changing that Law of nature whereunto they were ordained. Which law gives unto every Flesh its own seed: unto every seed its own body; unto every body, its own Soul; unto every Soul its own felicity. God is a free agent; As sensible creatures have a free choice to like, or dislike, what unto their Senses seems pleasing, or displeasing: so reasonable creatures should also have a free will to choose, or refuse whatsoever to their best understanding seems truly good, or truly evil. In attracting sustenance, or in propagating their kind, to confine brutes to be as insensible as trees Are, |
