at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n god_n shall_v judge_v the_o secret_n of_o our_o heart_n according_a to_o his_o gospel_n and_o by_o faith_n noah_n build_v a_o ark_n 11.7_o whereby_o he_o condemn_v

consider_v it_o be_v the_o only_a touchstone_n whereby_o all_o our_o word_n thought_n &_o work_n must_v be_v examine_v the_o sixth_o point_n in_o the_o proceed_n of_o the_o last_o judgement_n be_v

&_o slow_a to_o wrath_n in_o this_o sentence_n we_o be_v to_o consider_v four_o point_n i._n a_o call_n of_o the_o elect_a to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n ii_o the_o reason_n thereof_o iii_o a_o

inherit_v the_o kingdom_n prepare_v for_o you_o from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o word_n be_v to_o be_v observe_v one_o by_o one_o come_v you_o bless_a though_o christ_n now_o sit_v in_o glory_n and_o majesty_n in_o judgement_n yet_o he_o cease_v not_o to_o show_v his_o tender_a affection_n of_o love_n unto_o his_o choose_a and_o this_o overthrow_v the_o opinion_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n which_o will_v have_v we_o rather_o to_o come_v unto_o christ_n by_o the_o intercession_n of_o saint_n then_o by_o ourselves_o immediate_o because_o he_o be_v now_o exalt_v in_o glory_n and_o majesty_n but_o mark_v when_o he_o be_v hear_v on_o earth_n he_o say_v come_v unto_o i_o all_o you_o that_o be_v heavy_a lade_v and_o i_o will_v ease_v you_o and_o when_o he_o shall_v be_v most_o glorious_a in_o majesty_n and_o power_n at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n he_o will_v then_o also_o say_v come_v you_o bless_v of_o my_o father_n and_o therefore_o we_o may_v resolve_v ourselves_o that_o it_o be_v his_o will_n now_o that_o we_o shall_v come_v unto_o he_o without_o any_o intercession_n of_o saint_n you_o bless_v of_o my_o father_n the_o elect_v be_v here_o call_v the_o bless_a of_o god_n because_o their_o righteousness_n salvation_n and_o all_o that_o they_o have_v spring_n of_o the_o mere_a blessing_n of_o god_n nothing_o therefore_o must_v be_v ascribe_v to_o the_o work_n of_o man_n inherit_v that_o be_v receive_v as_o your_o inheritance_n therefore_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v god_n mere_a gift_n a_o father_n give_v no_o inheritance_n unto_o his_o son_n of_o merit_n but_o of_o his_o free_a gift_n whereupon_o it_o follow_v that_o no_o man_n can_v merit_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n by_o his_o work_n the_o kingdom_n that_o be_v the_o eternal_a estate_n of_o glory_n and_o happiness_n in_o heaven_n therefore_o in_o this_o life_n we_o must_v so_o use_v this_o world_n as_o though_o we_o use_v it_o not_o all_o that_o we_o have_v here_o be_v but_o vain_a and_o transitory_a and_o all_o our_o study_n and_o endeavour_n must_v be_v to_o come_v to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n prepare_v here_o note_v the_o unspeakable_a care_n of_o god_n for_o the_o faithful_a have_v he_o such_o care_n to_o provide_v a_o kingdom_n for_o his_o child_n before_o they_o be_v then_o we_o may_v assure_v ourselves_o he_o will_v have_v great_a care_n over_o they_o now_o when_o they_o have_v a_o be_v for_o you_o that_o be_v for_o the_o elect_a and_o faithful_a hence_o it_o appear_v that_o there_o be_v no_o universal_a election_n whereby_o god_n decree_v
church_n elect_v ii_o they_o be_v call_v elect_v of_o the_o principal_a part_n and_o not_o because_o every_o member_n thereof_o be_v indeed_o elect_v as_o it_o call_v a_o heap_n of_o corn_n though_o the_o big_a part_n be_v chaff_n second_o it_o be_v allege_v that_o david_n pray_v that_o his_o enemy_n may_v be_v blot_v out_o of_o the_o book_n of_o life_n which_o be_v the_o election_n of_o god_n 9.3_o and_o that_o moses_n and_o paul_n do_v the_o like_a against_o themselves_o answer_n david_n enemy_n have_v not_o their_o name_n write_v in_o the_o book_n of_o life_n but_o only_o in_o the_o judgement_n of_o man_n thus_o judas_n so_o long_o as_o he_o be_v one_o of_o the_o disciple_n of_o christ_n be_v account_v as_o one_o have_v his_o name_n write_v in_o heaven_n now_o hence_o it_o follow_v that_o man_n name_n be_v blot_v out_o of_o god_n book_n when_o it_o be_v make_v clear_a and_o manifest_a unto_o the_o world_n that_o they_o be_v never_o indeed_o write_v there_o and_o where_o moses_n say_v forgive_v they_o this_o sin_n if_o not_o blot_n i_o out_o of_o thy_o book_n and_o paul_n i_o can_v wish_v to_o be_v accurse_v etc._n etc._n there_o meaning_n be_v not_o to_o signify_v that_o man_n elect_v to_o salvation_n may_v become_v reprobate_n only_o they_o testify_v their_o zealous_a affection_n that_o they_o can_v be_v content_a to_o be_v deprive_v of_o their_o own_o salvation_n rather_o than_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o people_n shall_v perish_v and_o god_n loose_v his_o glory_n as_o for_o that_o which_o christ_n say_v have_v i_o not_o choose_v you_o twelve_o and_o one_o of_o you_o be_v a_o devil_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v not_o of_o election_n to_o salvation_n 6.70_o but_o of_o election_n to_o office_n of_o a_o apostle_n which_o be_v temporary_a and_o changeable_a the_o three_o point_n be_v that_o there_o be_v a_o actual_a election_n make_v in_o time_n be_v indeed_o a_o fruit_n of_o god_n decree_n and_o answerable_a unto_o it_o and_o therefore_o i_o add_v in_o the_o description_n these_o word_n whereby_o he_o have_v choose_v some_o man_n all_o man_n by_o nature_n be_v sinner_n and_o child_n of_o wrath_n shut_v up_o under_o one_o and_o the_o same_o estate_n of_o condemnation_n and_o actual_a election_n be_v when_o it_o please_v god_n to_o ●ever_v and_o single_a out_o some_o man_n above_o the_o rest_n out_o of_o this_o wretched_a estate_n of_o the_o wicked_a world_n and_o to_o bring_v they_o to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o his_o own_o son_n thus_o christ_n say_v of_o his_o own_o disciple_n i_o have_v choose_v you_o out_o of_o the_o world_n 15.19_o the_o four_o point_n be_v the_o actual_a or_o real_a foundation_n of_o god_n election_n and_o that_o be_v christ_n and_o therefore_o we_o be_v say_v to_o be_v choose_v to_o salvation_n in_o christ._n he_o must_v be_v consider_v two_o way_n 1.4_o as_o he_o be_v god_n we_o be_v predestinate_a of_o he_o even_o as_o we_o be_v predestinate_a of_o the_o father_n and_o the_o h._n ghost_n as_o he_o be_v our_o mediator_n we_o be_v predestinate_a in_o he_o for_o when_o god_n with_o himself_o have_v decree_v to_o manifest_v his_o glory_n in_o save_v some_o man_n by_o his_o mercy_n he_o ordain_v further_o the_o creation_n of_o man_n in_o his_o own_o image_n yet_o so_o as_o by_o his_o own_o fall_n he_o shall_v enfold_v himself_o and_o all_o his_o posterity_n under_o damnation_n this_o do_v he_o also_o decree_v that_o the_o word_n shall_v be_v incarnate_a actual_o to_o redeem_v those_o out_o of_o the_o former_a misery_n who_o he_o have_v ordain_v to_o salvation_n christ_n therefore_o himself_o be_v first_o of_o all_o predestinate_a as_o he_o be_v to_o be_v our_o head_n and_o as_o peter_n say_v 15._o ordain_v before_o all_o world_n and_o we_o second_o predestine_v in_o he_o because_o god_n ordain_v that_o the_o execution_n of_o man_n election_n shall_v be_v in_o he_o here_o if_o any_o demand_n how_o we_o may_v be_v assure_v that_o christ_n in_o his_o passion_n stand_v in_o our_o room_n and_o stead_n the_o resolution_n will_v be_v easy_a if_o we_o consider_v that_o he_o be_v ordain_v in_o the_o eternal_a counsel_n of_o god_n to_o be_v our_o surety_n and_o pledge_n and_o to_o be_v a_o public_a person_n to_o represent_v all_o the_o elect_a in_o his_o obedience_n and_o suffering_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o peter_n say_v that_o he_o be_v deliver_v by_o the_o foreknowledge_n and_o determinate_a counsel_n of_o god_n and_o paul_n 1.9_o that_o grace_n be_v give_v unto_o we_o through_o christ_n jesus_n before_o the_o world_n be_v the_o five_o point_n be_v concern_v the_o number_n of_o the_o elect._n and_o that_o i_o express_v in_o these_o word_n have_v choose_v some_o man_n to_o salvation_n if_o god_n shall_v decree_v to_o communicate_v his_o glory_n and_o his_o mercy_n to_o all_o and_o every_o man_n there_o can_v be_v no_o election_n for_o he_o that_o take_v all_o can_v not_o be_v say_v to_o choose_v therefore_o christ_n say_v many_o be_v call_v but_o few_o be_v choose_v some_o make_v this_o question_n how_o great_a the_o number_n of_o the_o elect_n be_v and_o the_o answer_n may_v be_v this_o that_o the_o elect_v consider_v in_o themselves_o be_v innumerable_a but_o consider_v in_o comparison_n to_o the_o whole_a world_n they_o be_v but_o few_o hence_o it_o follow_v necessary_o that_o save_v grace_n be_v not_o universal_a but_o indefinite_a or_o particular_a unless_o we_o will_v against_o common_a reason_n make_v the_o stream_n more_o large_a and_o plentiful_a than_o the_o very_a fountain_n itself_o and_o this_o must_v excite_v we_o above_o all_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n to_o labour_v to_o have_v fellowship_n with_o christ_n and_o to_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o special_a mercy_n of_o god_n in_o he_o yea_o to_o have_v the_o same_o seal_v up_o in_o our_o heart_n benefit_n common_a to_o all_o as_o the_o light_n of_o the_o sun_n etc._n etc._n be_v not_o regard_v of_o any_o thing_n common_a to_o few_o though_o they_o be_v but_o temporal_a blessing_n be_v seek_v for_o of_o all_o god_n give_v not_o riches_n to_o all_o man_n but_o to_o some_o more_o to_o some_o less_o to_o some_o none_o and_o hereupon_o how_o do_v man_n like_o drudge_n toil_n in_o the_o world_n from_o day_n to_o day_n and_o from_o year_n to_o year_n to_o enrich_v themselves_o therefore_o much_o more_o ought_v man_n to_o seek_v for_o grace_n in_o christ_n consider_v it_o be_v not_o common_a to_o all_o we_o must_v not_o content_v ourselves_o to_o say_v god_n be_v merciful_a but_o we_o must_v go_v further_o and_o labour_n for_o a_o certificate_n in_o the_o conscience_n that_o we_o may_v be_v able_a to_o say_v that_o god_n be_v indeed_o merciful_a to_o us._n when_o the_o disciple_n will_v have_v know_v how_o many_o shall_v be_v save_v he_o omit_v the_o question_n answer_v thus_o strive_v to_o enter_v in_o at_o the_o straight_a gate_n the_o last_o point_n be_v the_o end_n of_o god_n election_n and_o that_o be_v the_o manifest_v of_o the_o praise_n and_o excellency_n of_o the_o glorious_a grace_n of_o god_n 1.5_o thus_o have_v see_v what_o election_n be_v let_v we_o now_o come_v to_o the_o

the_o first_o be_v to_o consider_v that_o god_n the_o father_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o creator_n of_o our_o soul_n and_o therefore_o he_o be_v call_v the_o father_n of_o spirit_n and_o if_o he_o be_v a_o creator_n of_o they_o than_o be_v he_o also_o a_o faithful_a preserver_n of_o they_o for_o sure_a it_o be_v that_o god_n will_v preserve_v his_o own_o workmanship_n who_o be_v or_o can_v be_v so_o careful_a for_o the_o ornament_n and_o preservation_n of_o any_o work_n as_o the_o crafts-master_n and_o shall_v not_o god_n be_v more_o careful_a than_o man_n wherefore_o saint_n peter_n exhort_v we_o to_o commit_v our_o soul_n unto_o god_n as_o unto_o a_o faithful_a creator_n the_o second_o motive_n be_v this_o we_o must_v look_v to_o be_v resolve_v in_o our_o conscience_n that_o god_n the_o father_n of_o christ_n be_v our_o father_n every_o man_n for_o himself_o must_v labour_v to_o have_v the_o assurance_n of_o the_o pardon_n of_o his_o own_o sin_n and_o that_o the_o corruption_n of_o his_o soul_n be_v wash_v away_o in_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n that_o he_o may_v say_v i_o be_o justify_v sanctify_a and_o adopt_v by_o christ._n and_o when_o any_o man_n can_v say_v thus_o he_o shall_v be_v most_o desirous_a and_o willing_a to_o commit_v his_o soul_n into_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n this_o be_v the_o reason_n which_o move_v christ_n to_o lay_v down_o his_o soul_n into_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n because_o he_o be_v his_o father_n the_o three_o motive_n or_o preparative_n be_v a_o continual_a experience_n and_o observation_n of_o god_n love_n and_o favour_n towards_o we_o

in_o the_o land_n of_o goshen_n here_o then_o behold_v a_o notable_a precedent_n for_o we_o to_o follow_v in_o which_o we_o be_v teach_v that_o the_o best_a way_n to_o endure_v affliction_n with_o

not_o for_o all_o man_n but_o for_o the_o elect_a who_o name_n be_v write_v in_o the_o book_n of_o life_n we_o must_v above_o all_o thing_n in_o this_o world_n seek_v to_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o

by_o god_n goodness_n i_o have_v show_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o creed_n now_o to_o draw_v to_o a_o conclusion_n the_o general_a use_n which_o be_v to_o be_v make_v of_o it_o follow_v and_o first_o of_o all_o we_o learn_v by_o it_o that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v no_o cause_n to_o condemn_v we_o for_o heretic_n for_o we_o do_v true_o hold_v and_o believe_v the_o whole_a apostolical_a

and_o the_o very_a ground_n and_o pillar_n of_o religion_n as_o they_o be_v now_o avouch_v to_o be_v they_o shall_v in_o no_o wise_a have_v be_v leave_v forth_o of_o the_o creed_n for_o it_o be_v a_o
