A85412	The remedie of unreasonableness. Or The substance of a speech intended at a conference or dispute, in Al-hallows the Great, London. Feb. 11. 1649. Exhibiting the brief heads of Mr John Goodwin's judgement, concerning the freeness fulness effectualness of the grace of God. As also concerning the bondage or servility of the will of man. Occasioned by an undue aspersion cast upon him; as (viz.) that he held free-will in opposition to free-grace.	Goodwin, John, 1594?-1665.	1650 (1650)	Wing G1197; Thomason E594_1; ESTC R202311	11,715	15

in_o public_a and_o many_o in_o private_a touch_v the_o present_a controversy_n i_o appeal_v to_o they_o all_o conjunctim_fw-la et_fw-la divisim_fw-la whether_o ever_o they_o hear_v i_o utter_v so_o much_o as_o the_o least_o word_n tend_v to_o exalt_v the_o freedom_n of_o the_o will_n of_o man_n unto_o that_o which_o be_v good_a my_o present_a opinion_n be_v and_o my_o constant_a doctrine_n have_v be_v that_o the_o will_n of_o man_n destitute_a of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o his_o co-operate_a assistance_n with_o it_o be_v or_o will_v be_v most_o desperate_o wicked_a and_o servile_a unto_o sin_n yea_o and_o further_o that_o notwithstanding_o the_o cooperative_a grace_n of_o god_n with_o it_o yet_o it_o be_v exceed_o apt_a and_o prone_a to_o be_v lead_v captive_a unto_o sin_n by_o the_o devil_n whereas_o the_o opinion_n of_o my_o antagonist_n be_v true_o and_o fair_o interpret_v if_o it_o be_v contrary_a unto_o i_o be_v that_o the_o will_n of_o man_n by_o mean_n of_o the_o co-operate_a grace_n of_o god_n with_o it_o become_v free_a after_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o freedom_n of_o the_o will_n of_o god_n himself_o i_o e._n so_o free_a unto_o that_o which_o be_v good_a that_o it_o be_v unpossible_a for_o it_o not_o to_o move_v or_o to_o be_v carry_v out_o unto_o it_o concerning_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n there_o be_v three_o thing_n wherein_o the_o glory_n of_o it_o consist_v the_o freeness_n of_o it_o the_o fullness_n or_o extent_n of_o it_o the_o force_n or_o efficacy_n of_o it_o concerning_o the_o first_o of_o these_o i_o clear_o hold_v and_o have_v upon_o all_o occasion_n constant_o teach_v 1._o that_o the_o whole_a plot_n or_o counsel_n of_o god_n concerning_o the_o salvation_n of_o the_o world_n be_v of_o free_a grace_n of_o mere_a grace_n and_o goodness_n of_o will_n or_o pleasure_n in_o god_n 2._o that_o his_o purpose_n of_o election_n or_o predestination_n of_o man_n unto_o life_n and_o glory_n be_v a_o act_n of_o free_a grace_n also_o and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o obligation_n or_o necessity_n upon_o he_o to_o predestinate_v any_o man_n or_o any_o sort_n of_o man_n as_o now_o he_o have_v do_v 3._o that_o the_o gift_n of_o jesus_n christ_n unto_o the_o world_n be_v a_o gift_n of_o free_a grace_n and_o that_o god_n be_v no_o way_n oblige_v hereunto_o 4._o that_o to_o give_v or_o confer_v justification_n adoption_n and_o salvation_n itself_o upon_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n be_v act_n of_o the_o pure_a and_o free_a grace_n of_o god_n 5._o that_o to_o give_v strength_n power_n and_o mean_n of_o believe_v unto_o man_n be_v a_o act_n of_o mere_a and_o free_a grace_n likewise_o 6._o that_o it_o be_v of_o the_o free_a grace_n of_o god_n and_o by_o the_o help_n and_o assistance_n thereof_o that_o any_o man_n do_v ever_o actual_o believe_v 2._o concerning_o the_o fullness_n or_o extent_n of_o this_o grace_n my_o sense_n be_v and_o my_o doctrine_n have_v be_v 1._o in_o respect_n of_o person_n that_o it_o be_v not_o imprison_v or_o confine_v within_o the_o narrow_a compass_n of_o a_o handful_n of_o man_n in_o comparison_n or_o that_o it_o extend_v itself_o either_o in_o the_o intention_n of_o salvation_n or_o in_o the_o provision_n which_o it_o make_v or_o afford_v unto_o man_n for_o salvation_n only_o unto_o those_o few_o who_o come_v in_o time_n actual_o to_o believe_v and_o to_o be_v save_v but_o that_o like_o the_o sun_n in_o the_o firmament_n of_o heaven_n it_o compass_v the_o whole_a earth_n from_o the_o one_o end_n of_o it_o unto_o the_o other_o and_o stretch_v itself_o unto_o all_o man_n 2._o in_o respect_n of_o the_o good_a which_o it_o intend_v unto_o man_n my_o opinion_n be_v that_o it_o be_v exceed_o full_a and_o comprehensive_a i_o e._n that_o the_o good_a or_o blessedness_n which_o god_n gracious_o intend_v unto_o man_n in_o and_o by_o the_o gospel_n be_v a_o full_a absolute_a and_o complete_a blessedness_n contain_v every_o good_a and_o desirable_a thing_n in_o it_o 3._o and_o last_o for_o this_o that_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o mean_n which_o it_o vouchsafe_v and_o exhibit_v unto_o man_n for_o the_o bring_v they_o to_o the_o full_a enjoyment_n of_o this_o blessedness_n it_o be_v full_a and_o complete_a also_o so_o that_o the_o mean_n which_o god_n gracious_o exhibit_v unto_o man_n to_o make_v they_o bless_v be_v everyway_n sufficient_a for_o such_o a_o purpose_n or_o end_n 3._o concerning_o the_o power_n or_o effectualness_n of_o this_o grace_n i_o hold_v and_o teach_v upon_o all_o occasion_n 1._o that_o in_o the_o gift_n of_o a_o power_n or_o a_o sufficiency_n of_o mean_n unto_o man_n whereby_o to_o believe_v or_o to_o be_v save_v it_o be_v simple_o irresistible_a and_o that_o man_n can_v frustrate_v or_o hinder_v this_o operation_n of_o it_o 2._o that_o what_o good_a thing_n soever_o any_o man_n do_v he_o do_v it_o through_o the_o assistance_n of_o the_o free_a grace_n of_o god_n and_o be_v in_o no_o capacity_n or_o meetness_n so_o much_o as_o to_o conceive_v or_o think_v a_o good_a thought_n without_o it_o 3._o and_o last_o that_o when_o any_o man_n actual_o believe_v or_o be_v true_o convert_v unto_o god_n that_o he_o be_v mighty_o strengthen_v and_o assist_v by_o the_o supernatural_a or_o special_a grace_n of_o god_n thereunto_o so_o that_o the_o act_n of_o conversion_n or_o believe_v be_v to_o be_v ascribe_v unto_o god_n not_o only_o as_o the_o sole_a author_n and_o giver_n of_o that_o power_n by_o which_o man_n do_v believe_v but_o as_o the_o sole_a supernatural_a actor_n also_o of_o this_o power_n in_o the_o act_n itself_o of_o believe_v and_o that_o man_n when_o he_o do_v believe_v be_v so_o far_o from_o have_v any_o cause_n or_o ground_n of_o boast_v in_o himself_o because_o of_o this_o his_o believe_v that_o he_o have_v all_o the_o reason_n in_o the_o world_n to_o confess_v and_o say_v in_o our_o saviour_n prescript_n of_o word_n that_o he_o be_v a_o unprofitable_a servant_n and_o have_v only_o do_v that_o which_o be_v his_o duty_n and_o that_o in_o abundance_n to_o do_v only_o i_o conceive_v that_o man_n be_v not_o necessitate_v by_o this_o grace_n of_o god_n or_o any_o work_n thereof_o to_o believe_v whether_o they_o will_v or_o no_o nor_o yet_o make_v willing_a upon_o any_o such_o term_n but_o that_o there_o be_v a_o possibility_n leave_v unto_o they_o of_o nilling_a or_o of_o remain_v unwilling_a to_o any_o moment_n or_o point_n of_o time_n until_o the_o act_n itself_o of_o believe_v be_v produce_v so_o that_o my_o opinion_n concerning_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n be_v true_o compare_v with_o the_o opinion_n of_o those_o that_o dissent_v from_o i_o appear_v to_o have_v much_o more_o in_o it_o for_o the_o exaltation_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n than_o they_o and_o they_o much_o more_o in_o it_o for_o the_o exaltation_n of_o the_o will_n of_o man_n than_o i_o for_o 1._o my_o opinion_n make_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n so_o free_a as_o to_o enrich_v the_o whole_a world_n and_o all_o that_o be_v call_v man_n in_o it_o and_o that_o without_o the_o least_o engagement_n upon_o god_n from_o man_n thereunto_o whereas_o their_o opinion_n imprison_v it_o within_o a_o narrow_a compass_n of_o man_n in_o comparison_n and_o so_o bridle_n or_o stiffle_n the_o freeness_n of_o it_o in_o that_o consideration_n 2._o as_o in_o one_o branch_n of_o their_o opinion_n they_o stifle_v and_o destroy_v the_o glory_n of_o the_o freeness_n of_o it_o so_o in_o another_o they_o quite_o destroy_v the_o very_a nature_n or_o essence_n of_o it_o and_o make_v it_o to_o be_v no_o grace_n at_o all_o for_o that_o opinion_n which_o make_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n the_o fountain_n or_o cause_n of_o no_o other_o action_n in_o man_n than_o such_o as_o god_n can_v according_a to_o the_o law_n and_o constant_a method_n of_o his_o remunerative_a justice_n or_o bounty_n reward_n destroy_v the_o very_a nature_n of_o grace_n and_o that_o the_o opinion_n maintain_v by_o our_o opposer_n do_v this_o be_v evident_a from_o hence_o viz._n because_o that_o make_v man_n to_o act_v necessary_o and_o unavoidable_o by_o mean_n of_o the_o grace_n which_o be_v give_v they_o make_v they_o to_o act_v physical_o or_o as_o mere_a natural_a agent_n and_o so_o reduce_v all_o that_o they_o do_v by_o virtue_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n to_o the_o law_n and_o condition_n of_o mere_a natural_a action_n which_o by_o the_o stand_a law_n of_o god_n remunerative_a bounty_n be_v not_o capable_a of_o reward_n by_o god_n again_o that_o their_o opinion_n tend_v many_o thousand_o degree_n more_o than_o i_o to_o magnify_v the_o will_n of_o man_n be_v evident_a thus_o i_o affirm_v the_o will_n of_o man_n even_o under_o the_o strong_a and_o most_o effectual_a motion_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n whereof_o it_o
