his_o son_n and_o his_o spirit_n to_o relieve_v the_o misery_n and_o want_n of_o man_n to_o forgive_v sin_n to_o impute_v righteousness_n and_o to_o give_v life_n to_o such_o as_o obey_v his_o son_n

some_o part_n of_o the_o image_n of_o god_n as_o life_n understand_v of_o good_a and_o evil_a liberty_n of_o will_n in_o natural_a and_o civil_a thing_n conscience_n accuse_v or_o excuse_v etc._n etc._n which_o though_o they_o be_v give_v at_o first_o by_o creation_n and_o so_o belong_v to_o nature_n yet_o the_o stay_n of_o they_o to_o remain_v in_o man_n after_o his_o fall_n be_v of_o grace_n both_o to_o make_v he_o capable_a to_o contract_v and_o covenant_n withal_o and_o also_o to_o be_v some_o beginning_n and_o principle_n in_o order_n to_o his_o restauration_n but_o since_o these_o alone_o be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o make_v he_o able_a to_o rise_v again_o or_o recover_v righteousness_n it_o be_v decent_a to_o think_v of_o god_n who_o do_v nothing_o imperfect_o and_o who_o in_o

this_o doctrine_n be_v to_o be_v examine_v before_o we_o give_v it_o a_o let-pass_n for_o my_o part_n i_o distinguish_v not_o two_o calling_n but_o compound_v one_o calling_n of_o the_o word_n and_o

the_o cause_n not_o to_o arise_v from_o the_o call_v but_o from_o the_o call_v that_o obey_v not_o 1._o for_o declare_v of_o this_o point_n we_o be_v to_o consider_v that_o the_o spirit_n do_v not_o go_v with_o the_o word_n to_o make_v the_o hearer_n perform_v that_o which_o he_o can_v do_v already_o by_o natural_a strength_n for_o the_o spirit_n be_v give_v to_o help_v where_o nature_n fail_v as_o to_o keep_v wake_v and_o to_o be_v attentive_a for_o that_o which_o man_n can_v bring_v of_o their_o own_o strength_n god_n expect_v to_o find_v and_o to_o meet_v one_o cause_n therefore_o why_o to_o many_o the_o spirit_n be_v not_o present_a to_o the_o word_n be_v when_o they_o be_v not_o present_a to_o the_o word_n through_o their_o sottish_a carelessness_n second_o it_o must_v not_o be_v think_v that_o the_o concurrence_n of_o the_o word_n and_o spirit_n be_v as_o it_o be_v natural_a necessary_a and_o inseparable_a but_o voluntary_a and_o arbitrary_a in_o the_o will_n and_o good_a
