they_o obey_v not_o the_o voice_n of_o their_o father_n 1._o first_o here_o the_o manichee_n do_v most_o impious_o affirm_v that_o there_o be_v two_o beginning_n and_o two_o chief_a prince_n one_o

if_o god_n be_v say_v to_o permit_v and_o suffer_v as_o he_o do_v for_o by_o his_o absolute_a power_n he_o can_v hinder_v that_o no_o sin_n shall_v be_v commit_v he_o either_o suffer_v sin_n against_o

likewise_o the_o phrase_n of_o scripture_n when_o he_o be_v say_v to_o harden_v pharaoh_n heart_n to_o bid_v shemei_n curse_v david_n to_o give_v over_o to_o a_o reprobate_a sense_n do_v show_v more_o

6._o yet_o god_n will_v be_v to_o be_v consider_v two_o way_n there_o be_v his_o secret_n and_o reveal_v will_n as_o when_o he_o bid_v abraham_n sacrifice_v his_o son_n his_o reveal_v will_n be_v that_o he_o shall_v slay_v he_o his_o secret_a will_n that_o he_o shall_v not_o so_o god_n will_v reveal_v be_v against_o sin_n but_o it_o stand_v with_o his_o secret_a will_n as_o be_v before_o

king_n soon_o than_o he_o have_v purpose_v 3._o therefore_o the_o best_a exposition_n be_v that_o god_n speak_v here_o to_o the_o capacity_n and_o according_a to_o the_o sight_n and_o judgement_n of_o man_n that_o saul_n kingdom_n have_v be_v likely_a to_o continue_v if_o he_o have_v not_o disobey_v god_n that_o then_o be_v here_o propound_v as_o a_o effect_n of_o saul_n disobedience_n the_o loss_n

shall_v not_o be_v so_o as_o there_o though_o god_n have_v foresee_v and_o decree_v the_o reject_v of_o eli_n his_o house_n from_o the_o priesthood_n who_o be_v of_o ithamar_n and_o the_o restitution_n of_o eleazar_n posterity_n in_o zadock_n yet_o the_o lord_n so_o propound_v it_o as_o though_o this_o alteration_n have_v be_v procure_v by_o the_o sin_n of_o eli_n his_o house_n the_o very_a like_a be_v here_o to_o be_v say_v of_o the_o innovation_n and_o change_n of_o the_o kingdom_n god_n purpose_n than_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v as_o decree_v in_o his_o counsel_n which_o be_v always_o certain_a and_o unchangeable_a and_o as_o it_o be_v propound_v to_o we_o absolute_a and_o definite_a in_o itself_o but_o yet_o offer_v unto_o we_o with_o condition_n to_o god_n there_o be_v nothing_o contingent_a or_o happen_v by_o chance_n to_o man_n who_o will_n be_v not_o compel_v but_o work_v free_o many_o thing_n seem_v to_o be_v contingent_a which_o god_n notwithstanding_o do_v foresee_v shall_v so_o fall_v out_o and_o they_o can_v not_o otherwise_o 4._o further_o it_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v that_o there_o be_v two_o cause_n of_o the_o cast_n off_o and_o reject_v of_o saul_n the_o one_o the_o immediate_a and_o the_o next_o cause_n which_o be_v the_o sin_n and_o disobedience_n of_o saul_n the_o other_o the_o first_o cause_n and_o further_a off_o the_o will_n and_o decree_n of_o god_n this_o will_n and_o foreknowledge_n of_o god_n do_v impose_v no_o necessity_n upon_o saul_n neither_o be_v he_o force_v but_o sin_v voluntary_o for_o god_n prescience_n lay_v no_o necessity_n simple_o upon_o man_n action_n but_o by_o consequent_a because_o whatsoever_o god_n forsee_v shall_v come_v to_o pass_v his_o prescience_n can_v not_o be_v deceive_v and_o frustrate_a now_o then_o see_v the_o sin_n of_o saul_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o his_o rejection_n which_o he_o be_v not_o force_v by_o any_o necessity_n to_o commit_v and_o if_o he_o have_v not_o sin_v his_o

thing_n to_o come_v only_o by_o sign_n &_o conjecture_n and_o satan_n be_v deceive_v often_o in_o his_o prediction_n 1._o either_o because_o the_o sign_n which_o he_o coniecture_v by_o be_v uncerten_a by_o themselves_o as_o be_v the_o sign_n and_o prognostication_n of_o weather_n and_o such_o like_a 2._o or_o for_o that_o god_n interpose_v himself_o come_v and_o work_v beyond_o the_o natural_a

second_o satan_n be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o mystery_n and_o secret_n of_o god_n counsel_n as_o he_o be_v doubtful_a concern_v christ_n whether_o he_o be_v very_a god_n in_o the_o flesh_n and_o therefore_o he_o speak_v unto_o christ_n in_o a_o ambiguous_a term_n when_o he_o tempt_v he_o if_o thou_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n he_o see_v many_o evident_a argument_n of_o the_o divine_a power_n
