no_o more_o can_v we_o except_o we_o abide_v in_o christ_n and_o therefore_o we_o christian_n have_v just_a cause_n to_o reject_v the_o doctrine_n of_o popery_n as_o in_o other_o point_v fundamental_a as_o namely_o in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o iustificaton_n by_o a_o man_n own_o merit_n and_o in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o pray_v or_o give_v divine_a worship_n unto_o saint_n and_o angel_n and_o in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o purgatory_n and_o in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o pope_n authority_n to_o dispense_v with_o sin_n or_o to_o forgive_v sin_n in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o transubstantiation_n in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o pope_n power_n to_o dethrone_v christian_a king_n etc._n etc._n as_o we_o have_v i_o say_v just_a cause_n to_o reject_v these_o vain_a invention_n with_o innumerable_a other_o antichristian_a tradition_n so_o likewise_o we_o have_v just_a cause_n to_o dissent_v from_o the_o papist_n and_o new_a upstart_n arminian_n in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o free_a will_n and_o the_o doctrine_n of_o free_a will_n in_o that_o sense_n as_o it_o be_v maintain_v by_o papist_n and_o arminian_n be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o to_o be_v abhor_v first_o because_o it_o deny_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o erernall_a truth_n of_o god_n concern_v election_n and_o reprobation_n maintain_v that_o one_o person_n be_v not_o elect_v more_o than_o another_o except_o it_o be_v for_o

jacob_n have_v i_o love_v and_o esau_n have_v i_o hate_v second_o the_o doctrine_n of_o freewill_n be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o to_o be_v reject_v because_o it_o derogate_v from_o the_o glory_n of_o

may_v thank_v himself_o and_o not_o god_n three_o if_o the_o doctrine_n of_o freewill_n be_v receive_v than_o we_o must_v also_o grant_v that_o there_o be_v no_o assurance_n of_o salvation_n in_o this_o life_n contrary_a to_o that_o in_o 2._o pet._n 1._o 10._o make_v your_o call_n and_o election_n sure_a yea_o we_o must_v grant_v also_o that_o a_o christian_n may_v fall_v final_o and_o total_o from_o save_v grace_n contrary_a to_o that_o in_o math._n 16._o 18._o the_o gate_n of_o hell_n shall_v not_o prevail_v etc._n etc._n and_o thus_o one_o gross_a absurdity_n be_v grant_v a_o thousand_o will_v follow_v the_o reason_n therefore_o that_o god_n expostulate_v thus_o with_o his_o church_n why_o will_v you_o die_v be_v not_o to_o imply_v any_o freewill_n in_o we_o but_o rather_o to_o
