Obj. But Adam must have obeyed to the Death if he would have Life eternal: Therefore the bare pardon of his sins did not procure his right to life.
Ans. True, if you suppose that only his first sin was pardoned: But 1. Adam had right to heaven as long as he was sinless. 2. Christ dyed for all Adams sins to the last breath, and not for the first only: And so he did for all ours. And if all the sins of omission to the death be pardoned, Life is due to us as righteous.
Obj. A Stone may be sinless, and yet not righteous nor have Right to life.
Ans. True: because it is not a capable subject. But a man cannot be sinless, but he is Righteous, and hath right to life by Covenant.
Obj. But not to punish is one thing and to Reward is another?
