5. As [Natural] signifieth that which may be recovered, or maintained by mere natural means; so Original Righteousness is not Natural: for though to Adam it was as natural to the soul as health and beauty to the body, yet 1. He was commanded by supernatural revelation certain positive duties for the exercise and maintaining of it, and for the attainment of salvation, which was its end. 2. And now we are deprived of it, we cannot expect the restoration but by means supernatural: even by Christ, and the Spirit, and supernatural revelations.
