the_o grace_n of_o call_v be_v give_v in_o respect_n of_o faith_n and_o obedience_n which_o be_v subsequent_a grace_n but_o this_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o for_o the_o love_n to_o hold_v with_o

before_o the_o cause_n and_o because_o in_o this_o manner_n of_o speech_n there_o be_v nothing_o to_o satisfy_v the_o understanding_n of_o a_o divine_a or_o a_o philosopher_n it_o be_v apparent_a that_o this_o be_v devise_v for_o none_o other_o end_n but_o only_o to_o dazzle_v the_o ignorant_a with_o word_n without_o understanding_n but_o a_o matter_n of_o this_o nature_n will_v not_o be_v

the_o consequent_a they_o may_v with_o more_o ease_n afterward_o fall_v into_o the_o plain_a term_n of_o pelagius_n for_o howsoever_o they_o may_v palliate_v the_o matter_n with_o strange_a word_n not_o understand_v yet_o the_o truth_n be_v as_o scotus_n confess_v that_o if_o god_n grace_n be_v give_v in_o respect_n of_o any_o thing_n in_o man_n that_o can_v be_v nothing_o but_o nature_n for_o in_o man_n before_o he_o be_v call_v there_o be_v nothing_o but_o nature_n and_o therefore_o the_o plain_a doctrine_n of_o scotus_n that_o a_o man_n may_v merit_v grace_n exit_fw-la puris_fw-la

against_o divinity_n so_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o natural_a man_n refuse_v it_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n be_v order_v and_o they_o that_o will_v disorder_v they_o trouble_v the_o whole_a frame_n of_o our_o salvation_n for_o god_n have_v set_v the_o order_n from_o god_n purpose_n proceed_v predestination_n from_o predestination_n call_v from_o call_v faith_n and_o justification_n from_o justification_n obedience_n and_o all_o fruitful_a work_n the_o first_o grace_n that_o we_o apprehend_v be_v call_v and_o therefore_o before_o we_o be_v call_v there_o be_v nothing_o in_o we_o but_o nature_n if_o then_o god_n respect_v any_o thing_n in_o man_n in_o respect_n whereof_o he_o call_v he_o that_o can_v be_v nothing_o but_o nature_n and_o free_a will_n this_o the_o pelagian_n teach_v plain_o but_o some_o follow_v the_o pelagian_n be_v ashamed_a to_o utter_v themselves_o so_o plain_o they_o strive_v to_o handle_v the_o matter_n more_o fine_o but_o while_o they_o seek_v fineness_n they_o have_v lose_v their_o wit_n sure_o they_o have_v forsake_v reason_n and_o understanding_n now_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a that_o from_o nature_n and_o freewill_n any_o grace_n shall_v rise_v because_o the_o lord_n say_v 3.6_o that_o which_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o flesh_n be_v flesh_n and_o that_o which_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o spirit_n be_v spirit_n here_o be_v two_o principle_n set_v

flesh_n therefore_o no_o grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n can_v proceed_v from_o the_o flesh_n but_o nature_n and_o freewill_n be_v nothing_o but_o flesh_n again_o the_o order_n wherein_o the_o bless_a apostle_n set_v down_o these_o thing_n the_o purpose_n of_o god_n predestination_n call_v justification_n glorification_n do_v prove_v that_o a_o precedent_a grace_n may_v be_v some_o cause_n to_o

say_v all_o thing_n fall_v out_o for_o the_o best_a to_o they_o that_o love_n god_n to_o they_o that_o be_v call_v according_a to_o his_o purpose_n before_o i_o

come_v to_o that_o which_o i_o intend_v i_o will_v hear_v first_o remove_v a_o scruple_n which_o the_o pelagian_n stumble_v at_o in_o those_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n to_o they_o that_o love_n god_n from_o these_o word_n they_o infer_v that_o god_n respect_v they_o that_o love_v he_o but_o the_o apostle_n expound_v himself_o in_o the_o word_n follow_v to_o they_o that_o be_v call_v according_a to_o his_o purpose_n for_o these_o be_v they_o who_o love_n god_n who_o understand_v that_o god_n love_v prevent_v they_o and_o call_v they_o according_a to_o his_o purpose_n he_o that_o have_v the_o knowledge_n of_o this_o love_n of_o god_n must_v needs_o love_v god_n again_o but_o this_o love_n begin_v by_o god_n prevent_v love_n as_o st._n john_n say_v herein_o be_v love_n not_o that_o we_o love_v god_n 4.10_o but_o that_o he_o love_v we_o and_o send_v his_o son_n to_o be_v a_o reconciliation_n for_o our_o sin_n there_o be_v some_o that_o begin_v to_o love_n but_o fall_v away_o and_o continue_v not_o to_o the_o end_n of_o these_o st._n bede_n in_o his_o exposition_n collect_v out_o of_o saint_n augustine_n 8._o expound_v this_o place_n thus_o apostolus_fw-la cum_fw-la

proceed_v the_o apostle_n say_v all_o thing_n fall_v out_o to_o the_o best_a to_o they_o that_o be_v call_v according_a to_o god_n purpose_n then_o god_n calling_n be_v according_a to_o his_o purpose_n if_o any_o man_n shall_v say_v that_o god_n purpose_n be_v according_a to_o his_o call_n shall_v he_o not_o invert_v the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o falsify_v his_o doctrine_n then_o his_o call_n be_v according_a to_o his_o purpose_n but_o his_o purpose_n may_v not_o be_v say_v to_o be_v according_a to_o his_o call_n because_o the_o call_n depend_v upon_o his_o purpose_n but_o not_o the_o purpose_n upon_o the_o call_n the_o purpose_n be_v a_o cause_n of_o the_o call_n but_o not_o the_o call_n a_o cause_n of_o the_o purpose_n now_o if_o we_o proceed_v from_o vocation_n to_o justification_n we_o shall_v understand_v the_o same_o for_o as_o vocation_n depend_v upon_o god_n purpose_n of_o predestination_n so_o do_v our_o justification_n depend_v upon_o vocation_n and_o as_o this_o be_v to_o pervert_v the_o apostle_n word_n and_o to_o falsify_v his_o doctrine_n as_o before_o i_o say_v to_o say_v that_o god_n purpose_n be_v according_a to_o his_o call_n so_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v say_v as_o this_o author_n say_v that_o god_n calling_n be_v according_a to_o faith_n obedience_n and_o repentance_n this_o man_n shall_v in_o like_a sort_n pervert_v the_o apostle_n his_o word_n and_o falsify_v his_o doctrine_n for_o justification_n faith_n obedience_n and_o repentance_n depend_v upon_o god_n calling_n but_o his_o call_n depend_v not_o upon_o they_o they_o be_v give_v according_a to_o his_o call_n but_o his_o call_n be_v not_o according_a to_o they_o and_o therefore_o they_o be_v give_v for_o and_o in_o considetation_n of_o his_o call_n but_o that_o god_n calling_n shall_v be_v for_o and_o in_o consideration_n or_o regard_n of_o these_o thing_n which_o god_n call_v draw_v with_o it_o and_o after_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n absurd_a not_o only_o in_o the_o
