Beyond that I would gladly know Garissoles' source for saying the covenant of nature—conditioned on natural justice—promised supernatural justice. Where does Scripture say so? Can bare contemplation of nature prove it by reasoning?

And where did he get the claim that Adam—earthly, from the earth, with an earthly paradise—did not have earth for his homeland? That erases the line between nature's covenant and grace's, between the first man and the second, and invents a divine will and promise beyond Scripture. No Christian—least of all a Reformed professor of theology—may risk that.

Latin

Ceterum libenter quaesiverim, unde habuerit Vir Doctus foedere naturae, cuius conditio fuit justitia naturalis, promissam fuisse justitiam supernaturalem? Id ne alicubi dicit Scriptura? An potest ratiocinando ex Naturae contemplatione colligi? Quaero etiam unde habuerit, Adami, qui e terra fuit, terrenus, & cuius paradisus fuit in terra, patriam non fuisse terram? Tollere certe videtur discrimen inter foedus naturae & foedus gratiae, primum hominem & secundum, & aliquid docere, immo Dei voluntatem quandam & promissionem confingere praeter Scripturam. Id quod omni Christiano, praecipue inter Reformatos Theologiae professori summa cura vitandum est.
