GOd as he made man good, so hee made every thing good for man. Man was made uncapable of corruption, and they of alteration. If man had not fallen from God his Maker, they had not fallen from man their owner. Thus by one man sinne, death, corruption, altera∣tion came into the world. It is sinne which separateth God from man, man from man, soule from body, man from his goods, his goods from himselfe. Sinne cor∣rupteth
not onely the soule, but the body, not onely the body, but the earth whence he came, and the heavens whither he should goe. It breedeth a moth in our garments, a worme in our provi∣sion, rust in our silver, it exposeth all to the theese. It setteth not only God at enmity against man, but man with man, yea beast with beast, yea and makes one man be a beast, a Wolfe, a Lyon to ano∣ther. So that if wee lose the creature, it is because wee have made it lose its primitive nature. Now there's no other way to gain this permanency, either to our selves or others, but by righteous∣nesse, as this corruptibilitie came by unrighteousnesse. But on the earth dwelleth not this righte∣ousnesse nor durablenesse; but we look for a new heaven and new earth, wherein dwelleth not one∣ly
righteousnesse, but perpetuitie, and never fading happinesse.
