all_o in_o adam_n guilty_a of_o his_o disobedience_n for_o the_o wage_n of_o sin_n be_v dead_a both_o corporal_a and_o spiritual_a all_o sin_n be_v of_o such_o kill_a nature_n so_o mortal_a in_o

it_o reprobat_fw-la the_o first_o be_v take_v out_o of_o the_o general_a and_o sinful_a lump_n of_o natural_a corruption_n in_o adam_n by_o god_n eternal_a election_n and_o the_o second_o leave_v in_o the_o same_o by_o his_o eternal_a reprobation_n lii_o consider_v with_o fear_n and_o pity_o the_o miserable_a state_n of_o these_o and_o seek_v earnest_o the_o cause_n of_o their_o reprobation_n i_o find_v it_o in_o god_n will_n i_o believe_v then_o and_o to_o the_o glory_n of_o my_o god_n justice_n confess_v that_o he_o decree_v eternal_o to_o reprobat_fw-la reject_v disallow_v or_o pass_v by_o some_o of_o mankind_n which_o shall_v voluntary_o fall_v into_o sin_n and_o so_o damn_v they_o to_o declare_v his_o justice_n liii_o thus_o i_o think_v not_o that_o their_o infidelity_n or_o sin_n foresee_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o their_o reprobation_n for_o thus_o we_o shall_v all_o be_v reprobat_fw-la but_o i_o believe_v and_o say_v again_o that_o god_n be_v move_v to_o decree_v it_o by_o his_o free_a and_o just_a will_n be_v resolve_v of_o the_o same_o lump_n to_o make_v some_o vessel_n to_o honour_n and_o other_o unto_o dishonour_n and_o so_o as_o a_o great_a lord_n to_o furnish_v his_o great_a house_n with_o vessel_n of_o all_o sort_n liv._n yet_o i_o say_v not_o that_o god_n make_v some_o man_n to_o be_v damn_v although_o he_o do_v reprobat_fw-la they_o for_o none_o be_v

his_o reprobation_n or_o a_o effect_n of_o it_o but_o be_v a_o mean_a to_o manifest_v the_o glory_n of_o the_o lord_n justice_n and_o his_o hate_n towards_o sin_n in_o the_o severe_a and_o everlasting_a punishment_n he_o inflict_v on_o sinner_n lv_o these_o punishment_n be_v the_o fit_a wage_n of_o sin_n and_o this_o sin_n most_o voluntary_a in_o the_o reprobat_fw-la consider_v in_o themselves_o who_o daily_o and_o wilful_o sin_n and_o in_o adam_n who_o fall_n be_v free_a they_o have_v no_o just_a ground_n to_o complain_v of_o god_n as_o if_o he_o be_v the_o cause_n or_o author_n of_o their_o sin_n which_o i_o believe_v he_o be_v not_o but_o rather_o hate_v and_o forbid_v it_o for_o though_o they_o can_v forbear_v sin_n but_o much_o delight_n in_o it_o and_o commit_v it_o with_o greediness_n yet_o lvi_o i_o believe_v that_o sin_n be_v not_o prompt_v to_o they_o nor_o force_v on_o they_o by_o god_n but_o by_o the_o suggestion_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o corruption_n of_o their_o nature_n and_o god_n be_v not_o oblige_v to_o strengthen_v they_o against_o those_o tentation_n and_o depravation_n but_o may_v just_o deny_v to_o they_o or_o withdraw_v his_o grace_n from_o they_o and_o give_v they_o up_o to_o their_o heart_n lust_n and_o satan_n power_n neither_o likewise_o be_v he_o oblige_v to_o hinder_v adam_n fall_n but_o may_v and_o do_v most_o just_o permit_v and_o decree_v it_o not_o as_o a_o sin_n but_o as_o a_o mean_a to_o manifest_v his_o mercy_n and_o justice_n mercy_n to_o few_o and_o justice_n to_o many_o lvii_o if_o my_o blind_a reason_n shall_v dictat_fw-la that_o thus_o the_o lord_n be_v hard_a injust_a partial_a i_o will_v reprove_v it_o by_o this_o my_o firm_a belief_n that_o god_n owe_v nothing_o to_o man_n no_o not_o the_o course_v bread_n he_o eat_v must_v not_o can_v be_v accuse_v of_o severity_n injustice_n or_o partiality_n for_o no_o man_n can_v plead_v against_o god_n nor_o the_o thing_n form_v say_v to_o he_o who_o form_v it_o why_o have_v thou_o make_v i_o thus_o we_o be_v all_o in_o god_n power_n as_o the_o clay_n in_o the_o potter_n hand_n fit_a to_o be_v make_v vessel_n to_o such_o use_n and_o service_n as_o our_o lord_n and_o maker_n think_v best_a for_o the_o revelation_n of_o his_o wisdom_n power_n mercy_n justice_n lviii_o if_o then_o god_n love_v jacob_n and_o hate_v esau_n before_o they_o be_v bear_v

for_o he_o harden_v but_o those_o who_o have_v harden_v themselves_o by_o their_o wilful_a abuse_n of_o good_a motion_n predication_n admonition_n and_o correction_n and_o he_o harden_v they_o not_o
