life_n begin_v here_o in_o holiness_n and_o that_o be_v eternal_a life_n to_o know_v the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n that_o be_v the_o end_n for_o which_o god_n do_v predestinate_a that_o they_o

god_n towards_o they_o that_o choose_v they_o so_o free_o when_o as_o they_o be_v so_o vile_a this_o be_v the_o end_n of_o election_n five_o we_o may_v consider_v the_o mean_n by_o which_o god_n do_v fulfil_v and_o execute_v his_o decree_n of_o election_n the_o mean_n of_o execute_v his_o decree_n it_o be_v christ_n jesus_n as_o mediator_n he_o choose_v such_o and_o such_o to_o bring_v they_o to_o such_o and_o such_o a_o end_n by_o such_o mean_n by_o christ_n jesus_n and_o by_o faith_n in_o he_o christ_n as_o mediator_n he_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o mean_n of_o god_n execute_v and_o

other_o way_n but_o by_o jesus_n christ_n in_o ephes_n 1._o 4._o you_o have_v these_o all_o together_o according_a as_o he_o have_v choose_v we_o in_o he_o before_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v holy_a and_o without_o blame_n before_o he_o in_o love_n here_o you_o see_v it_o be_v a_o act_n of_o god_n from_o eternity_n before_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n and_o at_o v_o 5._o you_o may_v see_v it_o be_v a_o act_n of_o his_o free_a grace_n according_a to_o the_o good_a pleasure_n of_o his_o will_n v_o 5._o he_o be_v not_o move_v thereunto_o by_o any_o thing_n in_o the_o creature_n no_o it_o be_v according_a to_o the_o good_a pleasure_n of_o his_o will_n and_o you_o see_v also_o the_o several_a end_n for_o which_o god_n have_v choose_v v_o 4._o in_o respect_n of_o the_o creature_n the_o end_n be_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v holy_a and_o at_o v_o 5._o that_o we_o shall_v be_v happy_a and_o attain_v the_o inheritance_n of_o child_n and_o the_o great_a end_n of_o all_o be_v in_o v_o 6._o that_o this_o may_v be_v the_o praise_n and_o glory_n of_o his_o grace_n and_o then_o there_o be_v the_o mean_n by_o which_o god_n do_v execute_v this_o decree_n v_o 4._o he_o have_v choose_v we_o in_o he_o before_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n so_o that_o you_o see_v something_o of_o this_o great_a and_o wonderful_a mystery_n of_o

shall_v meet_v with_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v most_o of_o all_o object_v against_o this_o truth_n this_o act_n of_o god_n from_o eternity_n it_o be_v 1._o absolute_a 2._o immutable_a and_o unchangeable_a there_o be_v these_o two_o general_a head_n which_o will_v clear_v up_o much_o of_o the_o mind_n and_o will_n of_o god_n in_o this_o truth_n 1._o god_n decree_n be_v absolute_a and_o free_a 2._o it_o be_v unchangeable_a first_o it_o be_v absolute_a and_o free_a it_o do_v not_o depend_v upon_o any_o thing_n in_o the_o creature_n god_n do_v not_o choose_v because_o he_o foresee_v man_n will_v be_v such_o and_o such_o he_o do_v not_o choose_v any_o because_o he_o foresee_v they_o will_v believe_v as_o some_o imagine_v he_o do_v not_o choose_v any_o because_o he_o foresee_v they_o will_v be_v holy_a his_o decree_n and_o choice_n and_o love_n it_o be_v not_o ground_v upon_o any_o thing_n in_o the_o creature_n for_o the_o lord_n he_o have_v no_o such_o respect_n in_o his_o

it_o be_v free_a and_o absolute_a and_o do_v not_o depend_v upon_o the_o work_n or_o worthiness_n of_o the_o creature_n for_o the_o child_n be_v not_o yet_o bear_v neither_o have_v do_v any_o good_a or_o evil_n that_o the_o purpose_n of_o god_n according_a to_o election_n may_v stand_v not_o of_o work_n but_o of_o he_o that_o call_v v._n 12._o it_o be_v say_v unto_o she_o the_o elder_a shall_v

jacob_n god_n do_v not_o choose_v he_o because_o he_o foresee_v he_o will_v be_v better_o than_o his_o brother_n esau_n no_o esau_n and_o jacob_n be_v all_o alike_o unto_o god_n nay_o if_o there_o be_v any_o pre-eminence_n esau_n have_v it_o he_o be_v the_o first_o bear_v and_o be_v not_o esau_n jacob_n brother_n say_v god_n yet_o i_o love_v jacob_n mal._n 1._o 2_o 3._o and_o i_o hate_v esau_n i_o have_v bestow_v special_a love_n upon_o jacob_n less_o upon_o esau_n not_o that_o god_n hate_v the_o creature_n without_o some_o consideration_n but_o hate_v here_o be_v to_o show_v a_o less_o love_n christ_n say_v a_o man_n shall_v hate_v his_o father_n and_o mother_n for_o christ_n sake_n that_o be_v love_v they_o less_o than_o christ_n and_o jacob_n have_v two_o wife_n one_o be_v hate_v the_o other_o love_v rachel_n belove_v and_o leah_n hate_v that_o be_v less_o love_v and_o so_o god_n here_o he_o bestow_v special_a love_n upon_o jacob_n and_o not_o upon_o esau_n and_o it_o be_v evident_a from_o scripture_n that_o god_n can_v not_o choose_v for_o foresee_a faith_n and_o holiness_n for_o the_o scripture_n hold_v forth_o that_o both_o faith_n and_o holiness_n they_o be_v the_o

48._o as_o many_o as_o be_v ordain_v to_o eternal_a life_n believe_v see_v here_o faith_n be_v make_v the_o fruit_n of_o election_n and_o of_o god_n love_n from_o eternity_n the_o word_n can_v be_v read_v thus_o that_o as_o many_o as_o believe_v be_v ordain_v to_o eternal_a life_n but_o as_o many_o as_o be_v ordain_v to_o eternal_a life_n believe_v and_o so_o holiness_n or_o sanctification_n can_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o election_n no_o it_o be_v the_o fruit_n of_o election_n see_v ephes_n 1._o 4._o according_a as_o he_o have_v choose_v we_o in_o he_o before_o the_o foundation_n of_o

but_o that_o we_o may_v be_v holy_a holiness_n then_o proceed_v from_o god_n special_a love_n and_o i_o shall_v make_v it_o further_o evident_a to_o you_o from_o some_o argument_n from_o scripture_n pleasure_n that_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a god_n choice_n shall_v be_v ground_v upon_o any_o thing_n in_o the_o creature_n but_o mere_o a_o act_n of_o his_o own_o good_a pleasure_n for_o first_o of_o all_o that_o which_o make_v the_o will_n of_o god_n to_o depend_v upon_o the_o creature_n that_o can_v be_v a_o true_a doctrine_n but_o now_o if_o god_n do_v choose_v upon_o foresee_a faith_n

the_o freedom_n of_o god_n will_n it_o be_v not_o possible_a that_o god_n will_n shall_v be_v determine_v but_o by_o its_o self_n now_o if_o god_n choose_v upon_o foresee_a faith_n and_o work_n than_o

look_v upon_o the_o book_n of_o the_o creature_n upon_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n and_o look_v upon_o they_o for_o this_o very_a end_n that_o thou_o may_v remember_v god_n for_o there_o be_v a_o

the_o book_n of_o the_o creature_n second_o look_v into_o the_o scripture_n and_o consult_v with_o that_o for_o there_o have_v god_n declare_v his_o name_n his_o glorious_a name_n be_v write_v in_o his_o word_n there_o be_v letter_n that_o god_n have_v write_v with_o his_o own_o hand_n god_n have_v subscribe_v i_o jesus_n testify_v these_o thing_n there_o be_v the_o hand_n of_o god_n and_o of_o christ_n in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o therefore_o if_o thou_o will_v remember_v god_n converse_v with_o the_o word_n of_o god_n three_o wait_v upon_o god_n in_o every_o ordinance_n for_o all_o ordinance_n be_v give_v for_o this_o end_n to_o remember_v god_n the_o word_n the_o supper_n every_o ordinance_n of_o god_n be_v give_v that_o so_o the_o soul_n may_v see_v god_n and_o

experience_n that_o thou_o have_v meet_v withal_o for_o they_o will_v help_v thou_o to_o remember_v god_n five_o labour_v to_o get_v your_o heart_n establish_v and_o assure_v in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n love_n to_o thou_o that_o thou_o may_v come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o this_o that_o god_n be_v thy_o friend_n thy_o father_n thy_o near_a and_o dear_a relation_n for_o the_o ●ore_o the_o soul_n know_v this_o the_o more_o it_o will_v remember_v god_n it_o be_v not_o possible_a that_o a_o child_n shall_v forget_v a_o love_a father_n that_o a_o wife_n shall_v forget_v a_o love_a and_o tender_a husband_n o_o when_o a_o soul_n come_v to_o know_v this_o that_o god_n be_v my_o father_n my_o husband_n this_o will_v help_v the_o soul_n to_o a_o sweet_a remembrance_n of_o god_n six_o look_v up_o to_o the_o lord_n to_o increase_v thy_o love_n to_o he_o for_o the_o more_o love_n to_o god_n the_o more_o thou_o will_v remember_v god_n but_o where_o there_o be_v little_a love_n to_o god_n there_o be_v little_a remembrance_n of_o god_n and_o the_o reason_n that_o man_n remember_v god_n no_o more_o be_v because_o there_o be_v so_o little_a love_n in_o their_o heart_n towards_o god_n if_o a_o man_n love_v his_o friend_n he_o will_v remember_v he_o and_o not_o forget_v he_o o_o therefore_o be_v ashamed_a that_o no_o more_o love_n shall_v be_v sparkle_v in_o thy_o heart_n to_o god_n when_o so_o much_o love_n be_v flame_a in_o the_o heart_n of_o christ_n towards_o thou_o and_o therefore_o brethren_n beg_v it_o of_o the_o lord_n that_o he_o will_v shed_v abroad_o more_o of_o his_o love_n in_o your_o heart_n and_o blow_v up_o thy_o spark_n to_o a_o flame_n that_o thy_o soul_n may_v be_v fill_v with_o a_o constant_a remembrance_n of_o he_o seven_o ure_n thy_o soul_n to_o holy_a meditation_n and_o think_v upon_o god_n last_o at_o night_n and_o first_o in_o the_o morning_n it_o will_v be_v a_o great_a help_n to_o keep_v up_o a_o constant_a remembrance_n of_o god_n in_o the_o soul_n o_o let_v thy_o wake_a thought_n be_v towards_o the_o lord_n think_v of_o his_o work_n of_o his_o attribute_n of_o his_o son_n there_o be_v enough_o for_o man_n to_o spend_v million_o of_o thought_n upon_o and_o therefore_o let_v some_o be_v spend_v upon_o god_n assoon_o as_o man_n wake_v in_o the_o morning_n there_o be_v a_o multitude_n of_o thought_n strive_v who_o shall_v get_v in_o first_o there_o stand_v god_n and_o christ_n and_o the_o world_n and_o they_o which_o get_v in_o first_o have_v a_o great_a advantage_n to_o keep_v in_o the_o soul_n all_o the_o day_n long_o if_o the_o world_n get_v in_o first_o the_o heart_n be_v make_v worldly_a but_o when_o god_n and_o christ_n be_v let_v in_o first_o the_o heart_n be_v keep_v in_o a_o gracious_a frame_n all_o the_o day_n long_o and_o the_o more_o that_o your_o meditation_n be_v spend_v upon_o god_n the_o more_o remembrance_n will_v you_o have_v of_o god_n and_o now_o brethren_n you_o have_v see_v your_o duty_n and_o
