And I believe not what he adds of man's being not obliged to deny Sensuality, were it not for Heaven: 1. He thinks Adam was made but for Earth: And yet God bound him Not to eat of that Fruit which his eye, appetite and fancy led him to desire. Doth he not here directly condemn God's Law, and justify Adam's Sin? 2. Were there no Heaven for us, ⟨p. 42⟩man were bound to rule his Appetite and Sense by Reason: And the bonum publicum, and his own, would oblige him by Reason to restrain Sensuality, as to Women, Wine, Meat, desire of our Neighbours Estate, Anger that would kill others in revenge. 3. And I think God doth not bind us now to take the forbearance of such comforts as further us in Holiness, Thankfulness, and other Duties, to be any necessary way to Heaven.
