§. 19. M. S. The Arguments to prove that any one Act had the promise of Immutability and Glory are these, Argument 1. If God were to declare his rewarding Justice, then he must reward one act. Thus Bradwardi•• also chideth his Master Lombard, as inclining to Pelagius, for holding that Adam could have forborne Sin by his Free-will, without Gods sp•d•l Grace, that is, his Will that so it should be: which he saith was niecest ry before the Fall as well as since: and that else Adam by once not s•• ning, when tempted, had merited Confirmation, as he saith the Angels did, being tempted by Leviathan, lib. 2. c. 10.

God did reward every act: His acceptance, and the continuance of all •he blessings of that Paradise, and the comfort of his Love, was a gre Reward.
