The covenant of nature made with Adam described and cleared from sundry great mistakes. And thereby proving, I. That the kind of death that was threatned in that covenant, in Gen. 2.17. ought not to be understood of any other kind of death but of a double spiritual death, 1.

Obj. It is objected by Mr. Norton, that this course will make the Scripture to be full of Equivocation?
Ans. I wish that Mr. Norton may not be bold to slight this Rule of Directi∣on;
* 1.1 seeing any one that will but search into
Kircherus Hebrew and Greek Lexi∣con, may soon see that the
Seventy do abundantly more often translate sundry Hebrew words from their proper sence into variety of metaphorical sences: that is to say, into variety of Equivocations: for the advancement of the true sence of each place, especially in such words as Relate to the typical Laws of Moses; which Equivocations being rightly understood according to the true sence of the Context, do not darken but illustrate the true sence of the blessed Scripture: and on the contrary, if a wrong sence be first put upon the Context, it will lead Ex∣positors into many erroneous interpretation of words.
Notes
* 1.1
Many words in Scripture do a∣bound with E∣quivocations, namely with Metaphorical sences: of which see more in Ch. 23. at v. 10.
