A79533	A whip for the lecturers of Lewis, and for all those Presbyterians, and others of the clergy which maintain that damnable opinion of absolute reprobation, according to the sense of the within written paper. With an exact copy of two several letters sent unto the the said lecturers, wherein the author desires satisfaction concerning the said opinion, with an answer to one of the said letters, being a true copy also. / By Edward Choune ...

yet_o by_o all_o the_o endeavour_n that_o be_v possible_a the_o creature_n can_v use_v will_v any_o thing_n avail_v with_o god_n to_o free_v themselves_o from_o that_o place_n of_o to_o mean_v and_o also_o maintain_v that_o as_o god_n have_v ordain_v the_o end_n of_o the_o reprobate_n which_o be_v damnation_n so_o have_v he_o ordain_v the_o mean_n tend_v unto_o their_o damnation_n these_o opinion_n appear_v so_o dreadful_a unto_o i_o i_o have_v often_o solicit_v they_o how_o i_o may_v hear_v they_o preach_v and_o pray_v with_o any_o comfort_n for_o answer_v i_o in_o writing_n they_o be_v so_o ashamed_a of_o their_o opinion_n that_o they_o will_v never_o set_v pen_n to_o paper_n for_o to_o give_v the_o least_o satisfaction_n and_o all_o the_o sum_n of_o their_o discourse_n be_v nothing_o but_o this_o if_o a_o man_n be_v not_o reprobate_v he_o shall_v be_v sure_a to_o have_v comfort_n by_o their_o preach_n which_o for_o my_o part_n i_o think_v if_o there_o be_v no_o more_o satisfaction_n to_o be_v give_v for_o this_o simple_a opinion_n all_o you_o minister_n may_v go_v into_o your_o pulpit_n and_o tell_v we_o story_n of_o tom_n a_o oak_n and_o john_n a_o styles_n and_o as_o much_o good_a it_o will_v do_v in_o respect_n of_o our_o salvation_n i_o have_v hear_v one_o of_o they_o shall_v say_v i_o be_v so_o wilful_a i_o will_v not_o be_v satisfy_v whereupon_o i_o write_v unto_o they_o if_o they_o do_v but_o give_v mr_n smith_n and_o mr_n montague_n both_o minister_n who_o be_v not_o unknown_a unto_o you_o satisfaction_n i_o will_v then_o acknowledge_v my_o rashness_n but_o instead_o of_o give_v they_o satisfaction_n upon_o a_o sunday_n mr_n newton_n have_v not_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n before_o his_o eye_n tell_v i_o a_o most_o damnable_a lie_v of_o mr_n smith_n say_v he_o disavow_v my_o opinion_n much_o wonder_v at_o i_o i_o admire_v at_o this_o change_n in_o mr_n smith_n meet_v with_o he_o that_o week_n do_v charge_v he_o with_o it_o he_o profess_v to_o i_o that_o he_o do_v not_o deny_v it_o in_o the_o least_o tittle_n but_o tell_v i_o mr_n pickering_n desire_v to_o speak_v with_o he_o they_o do_v meet_v and_o mr_n pickering_n have_v frame_v a_o writing_n about_o the_o opinion_n and_o be_v very_o importunate_a for_o mr_n smith_n to_o set_v his_o hand_n unto_o it_o which_o he_o refuse_v to_o do_v tell_v mr_n pickering_n they_o be_v not_o to_o preach_v unto_o stock_n and_o stone_n but_o unto_o rational_a creature_n as_o for_o mr_n montague_n he_o deny_v his_o set_v his_o hand_n unto_o mr_n pickering_n write_n also_o and_o i_o suppose_v be_v unmoveable_a in_o respect_n of_o this_o opinion_n now_o let_v the_o world_n judge_n if_o mr_n newton_n do_v not_o tell_v a_o most_o wilful_a lie_v of_o mr_n smith_n a_o man_n will_v much_o wonder_n to_o see_v man_n quote_v st_n augustine_n bishop_n overal_n the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o many_o other_o to_o maintain_v both_o side_n opinion_n be_v as_o much_o difference_n as_o there_o be_v betwixt_o light_n and_o darkness_n i_o will_v instance_n in_o some_o of_o their_o say_n as_o they_o be_v quote_v unto_o i_o bish_n davenant_n quote_v austin_n in_o these_o word_n whether_o you_o run_v or_o sleep_v or_o whether_o you_o receive_v the_o word_n into_o your_o heart_n or_o reject_v it_o yet_o in_o the_o conclusion_n you_o shall_v be_v such_o as_o god_n who_o be_v invincible_a decree_v you_o shall_v be_v this_o say_v davenant_n be_v a_o most_o true_a doctrine_n but_o because_o in_o the_o manner_n of_o propound_v it_o seem_v to_o separate_v the_o end_n from_o the_o mean_n and_o invite_v man_n unto_o slothfulness_n therefore_o as_o it_o be_v most_o true_a so_o it_o be_v most_o wicked_a to_o teach_v the_o other_o side_n quote_v austin_n in_o these_o word_n we_o abominate_a the_o blasphemy_n of_o those_o who_o teach_v that_o any_o thing_n be_v command_v of_o god_n which_o be_v impossible_a for_o man_n to_o do_v and_o also_o say_v that_o austin_n shall_v speak_v so_o plain_o and_o as_o strong_o to_o maintain_v reprobation_n to_o be_v a_o conditional_a thing_n as_o any_o man_n that_o can_v be_v bribe_v to_o be_v a_o advocate_n or_o a_o witness_n bishop_n davenant_n quote_v the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o bishop_n overall_n call_v he_o the_o judicious_a bishop_n to_o maintain_v that_o god_n by_o his_o eternal_a decree_n do_v give_v his_o infallible_a grace_n unto_o some_o for_o bring_v they_o to_o glory_n which_o he_o resolve_v not_o to_o bestow_v unto_o other_o which_o must_v perish_v the_o other_o side_n quote_v the_o church_n of_o

the_o whole_a world_n as_o well_o original_a as_o actual_a either_o those_o man_n which_o i_o have_v read_v on_o both_o side_n be_v mistake_v in_o their_o interpretation_n or_o else_o st_o austin_n bishop_n overall_n and_o the_o framer_n of_o the_o article_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o other_o be_v fool_n and_o knave_n to_o write_v such_o thing_n for_o the_o show_v themselves_o to_o

be_v a_o conditional_a thing_n i_o will_v instance_n in_o but_o a_o few_o and_o they_o i_o will_v forbear_v write_v down_o know_v who_o i_o write_v unto_o as_o deut._n 5.29_o psal_n 7.13_o the_o

and_o preach_v of_o minister_n to_o be_v all_o very_a necessary_a unto_o salvation_n i_o hear_v mr_n newton_n preach_v about_o a_o month_n since_o do_v like_o his_o sermon_n and_o prayer_n very_o well_o because_o it_o do_v not_o clash_v with_o the_o scripture_n but_o very_o much_o with_o his_o opinion_n i_o send_v he_o a_o letter_n with_o some_o of_o the_o head_n of_o his_o sermon_n and_o
