The Works of John Locke Vol 6 of 9 - Classic Reprint
Author: John Locke

Excerpt from The Works of John Locke, Vol. 6 of 9 — This is f0 clear in thefe cited places, and f0 much the current of the New Tef'tament, that nobody can deny, but that the doetrine of the gofpel is, that death came on all men by Adam's fin; only they differ about the fignificati0p of the word death: for fome will have it to be a flate of guilt,... more » wherein not only he, but all his poflerity was fo involved, that every one defcended of him deferved endlefs torment, in hell-fire. I fballfay nothing more here, how far, in the apprehenfions Of men, this confif'ts with the juflice and goodnefs of God, having mentioned it above: but it feems a firange way Of underfiandinga law, which requires the plaineft and direetef't words, that by death fliould be meant eternal life in mifery. Could any one be fuppofed, by a law, that fays, For felony thou fhalt die, not that he fhould lofe his life; but be kept alive in perpetual, exquifite torments? And would any one think himfelf fairly dealt with, that was fo ufed?

To this, they would have it be alfo a fiate of neceffar'y finning, and provoking God in every aetion that'men do: a yet harder fenfe Of the word death than'the other. God fays, that in.the day that thou eateft of the for bidden fruit, thou fhalt die; i. E. Thou and thy pof'terity fhall be, ever. After, incapable Ofdoi'ng'any thing, but what fhall'be finful and provoking to me, and {ball ju ly deferve my wrath and indignation. Could a worthy man be fuppofed to put fuch'terms upon the Obedience of his fubjeels Much lefs can the righteous God be fuppofed, as a punifhmgent of one fin, wherewith he is difpleafed, to put man under the ne ce ity of firming continually, and f0 multiplying the provocation. The reafon of this firange interpretation.
