not_o man_n end_n but_o god_n glory_n in_o reprobation_n therefore_o thus_o i_o frame_v the_o argument_n reprobation_n be_v a_o punishment_n now_o our_o divine_n hold_v that_o god_n reprobate_v man_n without_o consideration_n of_o his_o sin_n therefore_o he_o punish_v man_n and_o yet_o not_o for_o sin_n which_o must_v needs_o be_v injustice_n that_o it_o be_v a_o punishment_n i_o prove_v it_o

than_o if_o they_o make_v god_n will_v evil_o the_o decree_n of_o his_o will_n a_o effectual_a cause_n of_o sin_n man_n will_n necessary_o thereunto_o compel_v and_o reprobation_n man_n end_n or_o if_o you_o please_v a_o mean_n unto_o the_o same_o then_o will_v it_o follow_v that_o they_o make_v god_n the_o author_n of_o sin_n but_o all_o this_o you_o see_v prove_v and_o therefore_o our_o divine_n make_v god_n the_o author_n of_o sin_n the_o accusation_n be_v heavy_a in_o love_n therefore_o unto_o god_n saint_n and_o the_o defence_n of_o his_o faithful_a minister_n i_o will_v labour_v to_o resolve_v every_o one_o of_o these_o argument_n the_o resolution_n of_o the_o former_a argument_n to_o the_o first_o argument_n from_o god_n will_n that_o he_o will_v the_o be_v exist_v and_o event_n of_o sin_n i_o answer_v by_o this_o distinction_n that_o there_o be_v a_o double_a be_v sin_n god_n willing_a of_o sin_n to_o be_v be_v not_o the_o be_v of_o sin_n exist_v or_o event_n of_o

and_o that_o be_v a_o exist_v be_v and_o event_n which_o god_n will_v draw_v out_o of_o sin_n and_o this_o be_v not_o sin_n be_v exist_v or_o event_n but_o god_n therefore_o when_o they_o say_v god_n will_v that_o sin_n shall_v be_v that_o be_v he_o will_v a_o be_v out_o of_o sin_n first_o his_o own_o glory_n second_o a_o better_a good_a than_o otherwise_o man_n can_v have_v know_v and_o this_o

sin_n to_o be_v for_o his_o glory_n now_o sin_n in_o his_o own_o nature_n be_v against_o his_o glory_n therefore_o he_o can_v will_v the_o be_v of_o sin_n for_o than_o shall_v he_o will_v against_o

that_o be_v the_o first_o be_v of_o sin_n as_o the_o sinful_a action_n look_v at_o the_o sinful_a man_n whereof_o you_o hear_v before_o that_o a_o sinful_a action_n be_v only_o in_o sense_n a_o

to_o work_v it_o by_o accident_n but_o you_o will_v say_v come_v any_o thing_n to_o pass_v because_o god_n permit_v yes_o therefore_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v because_o god_n will_v permit_v for_o that_o which_o god_n will_v not_o permit_v can_v come_v to_o pass_v and_o this_o he_o do_v most_o willing_o now_o when_o god_n permit_v in_o this_o sort_n he_o be_v say_v not_o to_o concur_v with_o the_o worker_n of_o the_o thing_n but_o leave_v he_o free_o to_o himself_o &_o this_o be_v that_o desertion_n which_o our_o divine_n speak_v of_o for_o if_o god_n shall_v have_v concur_v to_o have_v produce_v in_o man_n the_o act_n of_o not_o willing_a sin_n and_o have_v confirm_v he_o in_o the_o contrary_a than_o man_n shall_v not_o have_v fall_v and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o caluin_n

of_o sin_n in_o all_o this_o it_o be_v plain_a because_o the_o two_o former_a have_v god_n for_o their_o author_n &_o bring_v in_o the_o other_o as_o a_o hangby_a and_o unwelcome_a guest_n yet_o
