negative_a have_v first_o the_o negation_n of_o the_o mean_n or_o of_o grace_n second_o the_o negation_n of_o the_o end_n and_o glory_n the_o affirmative_a have_v 1._o a_o just_a harden_v 2._o a_o

comparative_o these_o thing_n be_v thus_o premise_v i_o come_v to_o the_o conclusion_n 1._o reprobation_n whether_o consider_v definite_o or_o indefinite_o contain_v both_o the_o decree_n and_o execution_n be_v not_o to_o be_v call_v mere_o absolute_a in_o respect_n of_o impulsive_a and_o final_a cause_n but_o be_v ground_v partly_o in_o god_n will_n partly_o in_o man_n sin_n a_o proposition_n partly_o prove_v already_o and_o these_o that_o follow_v will_v confirm_v it_o the_o more_o the_o 2._o therefore_o be_v this_o the_o impulsive_a cause_n why_o god_n do_v reprobate_a some_o and_o not_o all_o according_a to_o both_o the_o negative_a and_o affirmative_a act_n be_v not_o the_o foresee_a sin_n of_o any_o but_o the_o will_n of_o god_n for_o first_o god_n do_v foresee_v

to_o be_v sound_n for_o this_o reason_n god_n do_v eternal_o decree_v to_o reprobate_a man_n from_o glory_n for_o that_o for_o which_o he_o do_v indeed_o reprobate_v they_o in_o time_n but_o god_n

therefore_o for_o sin_n he_o do_v decree_n not_o to_o give_v it_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o affirmative_a act_n of_o reprobation_n to_o the_o punishment_n of_o induration_n be_v god_n will_n who_o he_o
