Sort 3 3. Pura, sed non firma: ¹A righteousness pure and perfect, but not firm and permanent. Such was the righteousness of our first Parents before their fall.ⁱ Pure and perfect it was: for^k such did God create them: they had no sense at first of any evil motion at all in them, much less did they yield or give any consent to any such. But^l firm and permanent it was not: (it might have been, if they would:) for^m they changed wilfully that estate that God created them in, and so fell away from that their Original Righteousness.
