before_o he_o know_v whether_o the_o fruit_n be_v good_a it_o be_v evident_a it_o prevent_v his_o reason_n a_o huntsman_n when_o hungry_a expect_v to_o find_v or_o actual_o find_v something_o

which_o suppose_v forego_v knowledge_n presuppose_v likewise_o love_n since_o joy_n suppose_v either_o a_o confuse_a sensation_n or_o a_o clear_a knowledge_n of_o the_o present_a or_o future_a

without_o itself_o nevertheless_o a_o christian_a love_n his_o enemy_n and_o a_o well-educated_a child_n his_o father_n though_o never_o so_o irrational_a and_o unkind_a the_o sight_n of_o their_o

that_o be_v no_o way_n delightful_a i_o own_o they_o sometime_o have_v the_o sense_n of_o pleasure_n or_o joy_n upon_o the_o reflection_n that_o they_o perform_v their_o duty_n or_o upon_o the_o

though_o perhaps_o it_o may_v be_v the_o motive_n of_o it_o it_o sometime_o be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o the_o motive_n of_o their_o act_n but_o it_o be_v only_o a_o abstract_n view_n of_o order_n or_o a_o notion_n of_o fear_n which_o preserve_v their_o love_n in_o one_o sense_n it_o may_v be_v true_o say_v they_o have_v a_o love_n for_o these_o person_n even_o whilst_o they_o do_v not_o think_v of_o they_o for_o love_n remain_v in_o we_o during_o the_o avocation_n of_o thought_n and_o in_o sleep_n but_o i_o conceive_v that_o pleasure_n have_v no_o long_o a_o substance_n in_o the_o soul_n

of_o pain_n be_v not_o pain_n but_o suppose_v it_o hatred_n of_o pain_n do_v not_o merit_v our_o hatred_n as_o do_v pain_n for_o the_o former_a be_v on_o the_o contrary_a very_o agreeable_a in_o

which_o be_v contrary_a to_o hatred_n and_o consequent_o the_o pleasure_n which_o be_v precedaneous_a to_o reason_n be_v not_o the_o same_o thing_n as_o love_n i_o prove_v likewise_o that_o joy_n or_o

the_o move_a force_n of_o body_n not_o only_o because_o i_o have_v no_o idea_n of_o such_o a_o kind_n of_o be_v nor_o see_v how_o they_o can_v move_v body_n but_o also_o because_o these_o being_n

purpose_n to_o prove_v it_o by_o the_o mark_v i_o have_v give_v before_o to_o distinguish_v effect_n produce_v by_o particular_a will_n from_o those_o which_o be_v the_o necessary_a consequence_n of_o some_o general_n law_n god_n be_v infinite_o wise_a neither_o will_n nor_o do_v any_o thing_n without_o design_n or_o end_n but_o grace_n fall_v often_o on_o heart_n so_o dispose_v as_o to_o frustrate_v his_o operation_n and_o therefore_o fall_v not_o on_o they_o by_o a_o particular_a will_n but_o only_o by_o a_o necessary_a consequence_n of_o general_n law_n for_o the_o same_o reason_n that_o rain_n fall_v on_o the_o sand_n and_o in_o the_o sea_n no_o less_o than_o on_o seed-ground_n xvi_o though_o god_n may_v punish_v sinner_n or_o make_v they_o more_o miserable_a than_o they_o be_v he_o can_v have_v no_o design_n of_o make_v they_o more_o culpable_a and_o criminal_a which_o yet_o be_v a_o effect_n of_o grace_n and_o god_n know_v certain_o that_o according_a to_o their_o actual_a disposition_n the_o grace_n he_o bestow_v will_v have_v that_o calamitous_a event_n therefore_o grace_n be_v not_o shed_v on_o corrupt_a heart_n by_o a_o particular_a will_n of_o god_n but_o by_o a_o necessary_a consequence_n of_o general_n law_n establish_v for_o the_o production_n of_o the_o best_a effect_n by_o the_o same_o reason_n that_o on_o some_o occasion_n too_o abundant_a rain_n corrupt_v and_o putrify_v the_o fruit_n of_o the_o earth_n though_o god_n by_o his_o general_n will_v cause_v it_o to_o rain_v to_o make_v they_o thrive_v xvii_o if_o god_n be_v mind_v that_o some_o land_n shall_v continue_v barren_a he_o need_v but_o have_v cease_v to_o will_n that_o the_o rain_n shall_v water_v they_o so_o if_o god_n purpose_v that_o the_o heart_n of_o some_o sinner_n shall_v remain_v harden_v as_o it_o will_v be_v sufficient_a for_o the_o rain_n of_o grace_n not_o to_o water_v they_o he_o need_v but_o leave_v they_o to_o themselves_o and_o they_o will_v corrupt_v fast_o enough_o why_o must_v we_o attribute_v a_o particular_a will_n to_o god_n to_o make_v so_o cruel_a and_o unhappy_a use_n of_o the_o price_n of_o his_o son_n blood_n but_o many_o other_o will_v say_v god_n in_o give_v grace_n to_o sinner_n have_v never_o that_o design_n and_o this_o doubtless_o seem_v more_o reasonable_a but_o if_o god_n give_v his_o grace_n by_o a_o particular_a will_n he_o have_v some_o particular_a design_n and_o whereas_o grace_n have_v that_o sad_a effect_n god_n be_v frustrate_v in_o his_o expectation_n since_o he_o give_v it_o with_o a_o design_n and_o that_o a_o particular_a one_o of_o do_v good_a to_o a_o sinner_n for_o i_o speak_v not_o here_o of_o the_o grace_n or_o rather_o gift_n explain_v by_o st._n paul_n in_o the_o 12_o chapter_n of_o his_o first_o

some_o for_o the_o profit_n of_o other_o such_o as_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o prophecy_n of_o discernment_n of_o spirit_n of_o speak_v diverse_a tongue_n of_o heal_v the_o sick_a and_o the_o like_a xviii_o when_o the_o rain_n fall_v in_o such_o excess_n that_o the_o flood_n extirpate_v the_o fruit_n of_o the_o earth_n we_o ought_v to_o conclude_v this_o rain_n come_v by_o a_o necessary_a consequence_n of_o the_o general_a law_n god_n have_v establish_v for_o better_a effect_n yet_o it_o be_v certain_a god_n may_v have_v appoint_v it_o by_o a_o particular_a will._n for_o god_n for_o the_o punishment_n of_o man_n may_v will_n that_o the_o rain_n ordain_v to_o fecundate_n the_o earth_n may_v make_v it_o barren_a on_o some_o occasion_n but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o with_o the_o rain_n of_o grace_n since_o god_n can_v dispense_v it_o with_o design_n of_o punish_v man_n much_o less_o of_o make_v they_o more_o culpable_a and_o criminal_a thus_o it_o be_v much_o more_o certain_a that_o the_o rain_n of_o grace_n fall_v by_o general_n will_n than_o that_o the_o common_a rain_n do_v so_o yet_o most_o man_n can_v easy_o believe_v that_o rains_n be_v the_o necessary_a consequence_n of_o the_o general_a law_n of_o the_o communication_n of_o motion_n whilst_o there_o be_v few_o but_o find_v some_o reluctancy_n in_o believe_v god_n give_v we_o by_o general_n will_v all_o these_o
