That if Adam had stood,1 he and all his posterity should have had that power and presence, and constant assistance of the Spirit of God, as that they should never have fallen, nor have been able to fall in respect of the assistance of the Spirit: He should have been green all the year long, his Blossom should not have been blasted, his fruit should never have withered. And the ground is the Rule of Justice; for if he falling, all his posterity are forsaken of God, and under the reign of sin, and death and Satan, Rom. 5. 18, 21.
