Secondly, The veracity of God requires it. The word was gone out of his mouth. Gen. 2.17. In the day that thou eatest thereof, thou shalt surely dye. 1From that time he was instantly and certainly obnoxious and liable to the death of soul and body. The Law pronounces him cursed that continues not in all things that are written therein to do them. Gal. 3.9.
