own_o son_n be_v a_o action_n of_o necessity_n but_o the_o regeneration_n of_o his_o adopt_a son_n be_v a_o work_n altogether_o voluntary_a so_o much_o the_o more_o than_o will_v i_o admire_v and_o praise_v that_o goodness_n which_o elect_v and_o save_v i_o by_o how_o much_o the_o more_o i_o see_v it_o be_v free_a and_o voluntary_a but_o no_o way_n in_o respect_n of_o his_o perfection_n necessary_a xxiii_o there_o be_v in_o man_n a_o twofold_a judgement_n to_o wit_n a_o antecedent_n which_o be_v that_o of_o the_o affection_n and_o sense_n and_o a_o consequent_a which_o be_v that_o of_o reason_n so_o there_o be_v a_o twofold_a volition_n the_o one_o follow_v the_o judgement_n of_o sense_n and_o it_o be_v rather_o a_o imperfect_a desire_n than_o a_o perfect_a volition_n the_o other_o follow_v the_o judgement_n of_o reason_n both_o these_o volition_n be_v in_o christ_n more_o eminent_o then_o in_o we_o because_o in_o he_o be_v two_o will_n and_o these_o by_o reason_n of_o his_o two_o nature_n be_v distinct_a in_o he_o though_o his_o person_n be_v but_o one_o therefore_o he_o desire_v the_o cup_n may_v pass_v from_o he_o but_o will_v it_o not_o or_o he_o will_v it_o

of_o thing_n be_v not_o to_o be_v attribute_v to_o god_n decree_n but_o to_o the_o work_n of_o his_o power_n contingency_n be_v when_o he_o use_v his_o resistible_a power_n if_o he_o work_v irresistible_o then_o follow_v necessity_n what_o be_v contingent_a to_o the_o second_o cause_n be_v infallible_a to_o god_n prescience_n but_o necessary_a to_o the_o work_n of_o his_o omnipotency_n

prevarication_n of_o a_o sinner_n what_o be_v more_o offensive_a to_o thy_o nature_n then_o sin_n what_o be_v more_o destructive_a of_o thy_o feature_n in_o i_o then_o sin_n yet_o out_o of_o sin_n thou_o have_v draw_v the_o mean_n to_o manifest_v the_o goodness_n of_o thy_o nature_n in_o my_o salvation_n and_o out_o of_o the_o same_o sin_n thou_o have_v draw_v a_o mean_n to_o repair_v in_o i_o
