To shew the contradiction betwixt Christ dying for all, and Gods election of some. 3. To prove that the soule doth not come from the parent, and consequently that there is no originall sinne.

and_o be_v sanctify_v before_o they_o be_v save_v but_o most_o proper_o be_v the_o question_n whether_o faith_n sanctity_n and_o obedience_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o election_n this_o do_v i_o absolute_o deny_v second_o i_o do_v accuse_v you_o of_o weakness_n because_o you_o do_v not_o answer_v to_o the_o second_o part_n of_o the_o reason_n at_o all_o which_o if_o you_o have_v i_o conceive_v you_o will_v have_v find_v it_o to_o strong_a for_o you_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v mere_a weakness_n to_o shun_v the_o strength_n of_o a_o argument_n to_o prove_v this_o i_o express_v the_o former_a argument_n by_o i_o frame_v and_o it_o be_v this_o that_o which_o god_n do_v in_o time_n he_o do_v appoint_v or_o decree_n to_o do_v before_o time_n but_o he_o do_v cause_n some_o to_o believe_v in_o christ_n and_o not_o other_o ergo_fw-la he_o do_v so_o decree_v before_o this_o you_o say_v prove_v not_o particular_a election_n and_o do_v it_o not_o indeed_o i_o will_v put_v you_o in_o mind_n that_o it_o do_v for_o it_o show_v that_o god_n do_v in_o time_n cause_v some_o to_o believe_v and_o not_o other_o ergo_fw-la he_o do_v elect_v their_o person_n and_o appoint_v and_o decree_v they_o to_o believe_v in_o christ_n before_o now_o to_o prove_v this_o i_o show_v that_o the_o sole_a cause_n of_o the_o difference_n proceed_v from_o the_o lord_n why_o one_o believe_v and_o not_o another_o by_o these_o scripture_n mat._n 13.11_o where_o christ_n say_v to_o you_o it_o be_v give_v to_o know_v the_o secret_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n but_o to_o other_o it_o be_v not_o give_v phil._n 1.29_o to_o you_o it_o give_v for_o christ_n not_o only_o to_o believe_v in_o he_o but_o also_o to_o suffer_v for_o his_o sake_n phil._n 2.13_o for_o it_o be_v god_n which_o work_v in_o you_o both_o the_o will_n and_o the_o deed_n the_o conclusion_n than_o be_v this_o if_o god_n work_v faith_n in_o some_o in_o time_n and_o not_o in_o other_o than_o he_o do_v appoint_v so_o to_o do_v before_o and_o consequent_o do_v elect_v they_o and_o not_o other_o the_o former_a be_v by_o i_o prove_v and_o not_o by_o you_o disprove_v nor_o deny_v for_o you_o make_v no_o answer_n thereunto_o whether_o god_n god_n cause_v some_o to_o believe_v above_o other_o or_o no_o this_o you_o speak_v nothing_o to_o at_o all_o and_o the_o other_o you_o grant_v to_o be_v a_o truth_n namely_o what_o he_o do_v in_o time_n he_o decree_v to_o do_v before_o ergo_fw-la he_o do_v elect_v and_o appoint_v some_o to_o believe_v and_o not_o other_o and_o thus_o you_o may_v behold_v yourself_o to_o deal_v very_o weak_o and_o the_o strength_n to_o prevail_v against_o you_o deal_v therefore_o more_o strong_o next_o time_n and_o more_o punctual_o or_o else_o yield_v to_o the_o truth_n three_o i_o do_v accuse_v you_o of_o error_n in_o the_o sequel_n of_o your_o discourse_n in_o that_o you_o make_v a_o respective_a decree_n of_o election_n in_o reference_n unto_o what_o man_n will_v do_v in_o point_n of_o believe_a sanctification_n obedience_n and_o perseverance_n which_o if_o it_o be_v so_o then_o man_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o his_o election_n and_o adoption_n and_o then_o such_o a_o person_n may_v rejoice_v in_o what_o he_o have_v do_v in_o cause_v himself_o to_o be_v elect_v and_o adopt_v but_o against_o this_o i_o do_v set_v the_o manifest_a word_n of_o scripture_n 1_o cor._n 4.7_o who_o be_v it_o that_o have_v separate_v thou_o or_o cause_v thou_o to_o differ_v from_o another_o man_n you_o say_v a_o man_n self_n by_o his_o voluntary_a believe_a and_o practise_v the_o duty_n of_o sanctification_n obedience_n and_o perseverance_n but_o against_o this_o the_o text_n be_v considerable_a what_o have_v thou_o that_o thou_o have_v not_o receive_v if_o you_o will_v now_o say_v that_o the_o gospel_n be_v god_n gift_n but_o the_o ability_n to_o believe_v obey_v and_o preseurere_n be_v in_o man_n or_o else_o god_n shall_v be_v unjust_a to_o condemn_v we_o for_o not_o do_v that_o with_o we_o have_v no_o power_n to_o do_v here_o will_v i_o have_v you_o to_o hold_v to_o the_o text_n that_o either_o you_o have_v not_o this_o power_n as_o you_o be_v man_n simple_o or_o if_o you_o have_v than_o another_o man_n have_v it_o as_o well_o as_o you_o than_o do_v paul_n ask_v the_o question_n still_o who_o have_v separate_v or_o cause_v thou_o to_o differ_v from_o another_o man_n if_o you_o say_v you_o use_v the_o ability_n or_o power_n which_o you_o have_v aright_o which_o if_o another_o have_v do_v as_o i_o have_v he_o have_v speed_v as_o well_o as_o i_o then_o this_o will_v follow_v that_o you_o have_v separate_v or_o cause_v yourself_o to_o differ_v from_o another_o man_n by_o a_o right_a use_n of_o the_o power_n you_o have_v in_o yourself_o above_o another_o and_o have_v not_o receive_v it_o and_o may_v glory_v as_o if_o you_o have_v not_o receive_v it_o but_o fie_o upon_o this_o filthy_a error_n which_o do_v so_o set_v up_o man_n and_o take_v from_o god_n contrary_a to_o the_o mind_n of_o paul_n in_o this_o place_n and_o also_o in_o the_o 1_o cor._n 1.27_o 28_o 29._o where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n elect_v foolish_a
