persuade_v it_o by_o a_o certain_a similitude_n of_o the_o potter_n and_o the_o clay_n for_o as_o the_o potter_n in_o make_v his_o vessel_n do_v not_o regard_v any_o desert_n on_o the_o caly_v

the_o maker_n and_o for_o this_o cause_n paul_n do_v make_v this_o comparison_n betwixt_o this_o election_n of_o grace_n 9_o and_o the_o power_n of_o the_o potter_n do_v the_o thing_n form_v say_v paul_n say_v to_o he_o that_o form_v it_o why_o have_v thou_o make_v i_o thus_o have_v not_o the_o potter_n power_n over_o the_o clay_n to_o make_v of_o the_o same_o lump_n one_o vessel_n to_o

fashion_v his_o vessel_n as_o he_o list_v if_o god_n be_v not_o able_a to_o do_v the_o like_a with_o his_o creature_n than_o be_v the_o potter_n of_o more_o power_n then_o god_n for_o the_o potter_n be_v able_a to_o fashion_v his_o vessel_n yea_o to_o break_v they_o and_o fashion_v they_o a_o new_a after_o his_o own_o will_n and_o shall_v god_n then_o be_v bind_v to_o our_o merit_n and_o regulate_v his_o election_n by_o the_o measure_n of_o our_o deseruynge_n take_v this_o argument_n if_o it_o may_v please_v you_o work_n the_o power_n that_o the_o potter_n have_v over_o his_o vessel_n the_o same_o power_n have_v god_n over_o man_n the_o potter_n be_v of_o power_n to_o make_v vesseles_a to_o honour_n or_o to_o dishonour_n as_o he_o list_v nor_o be_v bind_v to_o any_o worthiness_n of_o the_o clay_n ergo_fw-la god_n be_v of_o power_n to_o dispose_v his_o creature_n after_o the_o bounty_n of_o mercy_n or_o measure_n of_o his_o justice_n as_o he_o list_v without_o all_o regard_n of_o desert_n in_o his_o creature_n other_o to_o this_o argument_n the_o adversary_n make_v this_o answer_n that_o they_o do_v not_o take_v away_o power_n from_o god_n and_o that_o they_o be_v not_o able_a so_o to_o do_v neither_o do_v ever_o mean_a any_o such_o thing_n but_o that_o only_a power_n which_o he_o put_v of_o from_o himself_o and_o albeit_o there_o be_v nothing_o that_o his_o omnipotent_a power_n can_v bring_v to_o pass_v yet_o will_v he_o nevertheless_o be_v no_o more_o able_a then_o be_v be_v seem_v to_o his_o justice._n and_o because_o it_o be_v horrible_a to_o condemn_v any_o man_n without_o desert_n by_o the_o same_o reason_n it_o stand_v not_o with_o equity_n to_o defraud_v good_a work_n of_o their_o due_a reward_n and_o therefore_o it_o behove_v god_n

and_o therefore_o this_o trifler_n do_v conclude_v upon_o the_o premise_n that_o the_o lutheran_n assertion_n be_v false_a that_o in_o the_o work_n of_o election_n and_o rejection_n choice_n or_o
