231. 1. No Law of God (or just men) bindeth to things Naturally Impossible before the Law was made and broken, by an Immediate obligation.
232. A just Law may antecedently bind us mediately to that which is immediately impossible. So he that cannot Read, may be bound to Read mediately; that is, first to Learn, and then to Read. And Paul requireth men to work with their hands, that they may have to give to him that needeth, (and then to give;) which yet before they have got it, is impossible.
233. The obligation of a Law ceaseth, when the thing commanded becometh Impossible without the subjects fault.
234. Every sin is Voluntarium-prohibitum: And so far as Impossible things may be Voluntaria-prohibita (which is all the doubt) so far they may be sins.
