he_o love_v we_o and_o have_v send_v his_o son_n the_o propitiation_n for_o our_o sin_n so_o that_o both_o those_o apostle_n in_o plain_a word_n do_v speak_v that_o which_o before_o i_o have_v

that_o god_n in_o these_o word_n have_v neither_o respect_n to_o the_o natural_a inclination_n of_o beast_n neither_o yet_o to_o any_o common_a love_n that_o he_o bear_v to_o his_o creature_n but_o to_o that_o incomprehensible_a and_o unchangeable_a love_n which_o he_o bear_v to_o his_o church_n the_o multiplication_n the_o joy_n and_o felicity_n whereof_o he_o will_v at_o once_o bring_v forth_o in_o such_o sort_n that_o his_o elect_a shall_v never_o remember_v to_o their_o grief_n that_o they_o sustain_v any_o passion_n or_o pain_n let_v the_o indifferent_a reader_n compare_v this_o

to_o establish_v thy_o error_n but_o let_v it_o be_v that_o thou_o do_v mean_v of_o love_n and_o of_o no_o affection_n else_o be_v thou_o becume_v so_o bold_a and_o impudent_a that_o thou_o darre_v

if_o thou_o shall_v stand_v in_o judgement_n and_o lay_v injustice_n to_o his_o charge_n if_o he_o show_v mercy_n to_o who_o he_o will_v and_o also_o indurate_a and_o make_v hard_o who_o he_o will_n for_o all_o these_o three_o reason_n will_v i_o plane_o prove_v that_o god_n do_v first_o y_o t_o he_o do_v not_o for_o his_o dear_a child_n to_o our_o judgement_n that_o which_o beast_n natural_o do_v for_o their_o birth_n i_o trust_v thyself_o will_v easy_o confess_v for_o the_o tiger_n the_o bear_n the_o lion_n and_o other_o do_v so_o tender_v their_o whelp_n that_o even_o against_o the_o strength_n of_o man_n be_v he_o never_o so_o valiant_a will_v they_o fight_v for_o defence_n of_o their_o young_a one_o but_o we_o do_v see_v that_o god_n common_o do_v so_o permit_v his_o dear_a

from_o they_o and_o shall_v we_o therefore_o think_v that_o god_n love_n be_v not_o perfect_a or_o that_o his_o power_n be_v diminish_v or_o his_o good_a will_n towards_o his_o child_n change_v anabaptiste_n god_n forbid_v but_o this_o say_v you_o do_v not_o offend_v we_o but_o that_o god_n shall_v reprobat_fw-la any_o man_n who_o he_o create_v to_o his_o own_o image_n and_o similitude_n that_o we_o can_v not_o bear_v for_o it_o repugn_v to_o his_o love_n and_o justice_n well_o of_o your_o first_o reason_n which_o you_o draw_v from_o nature_n answer_n i_o suppose_v we_o have_v obtain_v that_o god_n be_v not_o bind_v in_o all_o thing_n to_o follow_v the_o natural_a love_n of_o his_o creature_n birth_n for_o he_o do_v often_o suffer_v and_o i_o trust_v you_o will_v not_o

man_n say_v your_o book_n be_v the_o birth_n and_o child_n of_o god_n create_v to_o his_o own_o image_n and_o similitud_n as_o the_o prophet_n say_v wherefore_o god_n love_v his_o own_o birth_n that_o

you_o apply_v general_o to_o all_o man_n those_o promess_n which_o the_o prophet_n malachi_n speak_v to_o the_o people_n of_o god_n answer_n let_v it_o be_v grant_v unto_o you_o that_o as_o all_o

further_o the_o plain_a scripture_n confute_v this_o your_o error_n and_o first_o i_o say_v that_o before_o you_o can_v prove_v your_o conclusion_n to_o be_v good_a you_o must_v prove_v that_o all_o
