A. Not as God, who is altogether immor∣tall,
both internally and externally, because in him there is no mutability: nor as the Angels, who are immortall, because they are not com∣pounded of a matter, which is the subiect of corruption: nor as the heauens, which though they haue a materiall substance, yet this is not the subiect of contradiction and contrary qua∣lities, as the sublunary and elementall bodies are: but Adam was immortall by grace, and the power of God, who would haue preserued him supernaturally from corruption, although naturally he was subiect to corruption.
