3. In his Affections. 1. These tempests and waves were under the 1command of that holiness: They were to Adam as wings to the bird, as wheels to the chariot; and he was not, as Actaeon; devoured of those that followed him, as it is with us: for, if you consider Affections in the rise of them, they did not move, or stir, but when holiness commanded them. This is proved, in that he was made right: Therefore there could not any Affection stir or move irregularly; as it's said of Christ; [Greek or Hebrew], he troubled himself. There were indeed Affections moving in Christ, and so in Adam; but they were as clean water moved in a clear glass: but in us they are as water stirred in a muddy place, which casteth great defilement. Adam therefore, being made right, he could set his Affections, as the Artificer doth his clock, to make it strike when and what he will.

These tempests and waves were under the 1command of that holinesse: They were to Adam as wings to the bird, as wheels to the chariot; and he was not, as Actaeon; devoured of those that followed him, as it is with us: for, if you consider Affections in the rise of them, they did not move, or stirre, but when holinesse commanded them. This is proved, in that he was made right: Therefore there could not any Affection stirre or move irregularly; as it's said of Christ; 〈non-Latin alphabet〉, he troubled himself. There were indeed Affections moving in Christ, and so in Adam; but they were as clean water moved in a clear glasse: but in us they are as water stirred in a muddy place, which casteth great defilement. Adam therefore, being made right, he could set his Affections, as the Artificer doth his clock, to make it strike when and what he will.
