Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
Only take notice that in the words there is a figure; for when it is said,1 That God will not cast away a perfect man; this is not all the meaning, as if God made no other reckoning of perfect men then thus, that he would not cast them away; more is intended then expressed, namely, that the Lord doth highly esteem and prize righteous men; he lays them, as it were, in his bosom and next his heart: thus the Lord deals with the righteous, His not casting away, is a near embracing.

There is a two-fold casting away; First, Temporal. Secondly, Eternal: and in neither of these senses doth God cast away a perfect man. Not only shall he not perish eternally, but not temporally. He doth not reject or cast him away for a moment; his love is an everlasting love, and there can be no breaches or gaps made in it, so as to cut off his love to the person, although he often signifies displeasure against his sin.
