which_o notwithstanding_o bind_v we_o to_o two_o condition_n the_o one_o be_v that_o we_o speak_v no_o further_o herein_o than_o god_n word_n do_v limit_v we_o the_o other_o that_o we_o set_v forth_o the_o same_o thing_n which_o the_o scripture_n teach_v according_o and_o to_o edification_n wherefore_o we_o will_v brief_o speak_v of_o both_o these_o part_n first_o of_o the_o doctrine_n itself_o and_o next_o of_o the_o use_n and_o apply_v of_o the_o same_o chap._n ii_o of_o the_o eternal_a counsel_n of_o god_n hide_v in_o himself_o the_o which_o afterward_o be_v know_v by_o the_o effect_n thereof_o god_n who_o judgement_n no_o man_n can_v comprehend_v cause_n who_o way_n can_v be_v find_v out_o and_o who_o will_v i_o ought_v to_o stop_v all_o man_n mouth_n 2_o according_a to_o the_o

that_o they_o be_v wrought_v by_o his_o divine_a counsel_n but_o forasmuch_o as_o they_o proceed_v of_o the_o prince_n of_o the_o a●re_n &_o that_o spirit_n which_o work_v in_o the_o child_n 4_o of_o

after_o two_o sort_n clean_o contrary_a one_o to_o the_o other_o whereof_o he_o make_v the_o one_o sort_n which_o it_o please_v he_o to_o choose_v by_o his_o secret_a will_n and_o purpose_n partaker_n of_o his_o glory_n through_o his_o mercy_n 7_o and_o these_o we_o call_v according_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n the_o vessel_n of_o honour_n honour_n the_o elect_a the_o child_n of_o promise_n and_o

fountain_n and_o chief_a original_n of_o the_o salvation_n of_o god_n child_n neither_o be_v it_o thereon_o ground_a as_o some_o say_v because_o god_n do_v foresee_v their_o faith_n or_o good_a work_n but_o only_o of_o his_o own_o good_a will_v 10_o from_o whence_o afterward_o the_o election_n the_o faith_n &_o the_o good_a work_n spring_v forth_o therefore_o when_o the_o scripture_n will_v confirm_v the_o child_n of_o god_n in_o fu●l_n and_o perfect_a hope_n it_o do_v not_o stay_v in_o allege_v the_o testimony_n of_o the_o second_o cause_n that_o be_v to_o say_v in_o the_o fruit_n of_o faith_n nor_o in_o the_o second_o cause_n themselves_o as_o faith_n &_o call_v by_o the_o gospel_n neither_o yet_o sometime_o in_o christ_n himself_o in_o who_o notwithstanding_o we_o be_v as_o in_o our_o head_n elect_v and_o adopt_v but_o ascend_v high_o even_o unto_o god_n that_o eternal_a purpose_n which_o god_n have_v determine_v only_o in_o himself_o 11._o likewise_o when_o mention_n be_v
