A90293	Theomachia autexousiastikē: or, A display of Arminianisme. Being a discovery of the old Pelagian idol free-will, with the new goddesse contingency, advancing themselves, into the throne of the God of heaven to the prejudice of his grace, providence, and supreme dominion over the children of men. Wherein the maine errors of the Arminians are laid open, by which they are fallen off from the received doctrine of all the reformed churches, with their opposition in divers particulars to the doctrine established in the Church of England. Discovered out of their owne writings and confessions, and confuted by the Word of God. / By Iohn Owen, Master of Arts of Queens Colledge in Oxon.	Owen, John, 1616-1683.	1643 (1643)	Wing O811; Thomason E97_14; ESTC R21402	143,909	187

though_o spare_o handle_v by_o our_o divine_n concern_v what_o our_o saviour_n merit_v and_o purchase_v for_o they_o for_o who_o he_o die_v and_o here_o you_o shall_v find_v the_o old_a idol_n play_v

ascribe_v the_o proper_a issue_n of_o his_o passion_n to_o the_o brave_a endeavour_n of_o their_o own_o pelagian_a deity_n we_o according_a to_o the_o scripture_n plain_o believe_v that_o christ_n

altogether_o useless_a as_o if_o he_o be_v but_o a_o figgetree_n log_n what_o remain_v for_o he_o to_o do_v if_o all_o thing_n in_o this_o great_a work_n of_o our_o salvation_n must_v be_v thus_o

and_o cry_v down_o the_o title_n of_o christ_n merit_n to_o these_o spiritual_a blessing_n in_o the_o behalf_n of_o their_o imaginary_a deity_n now_o because_o they_o be_v thing_n of_o a_o twofold_a

we_o always_o take_v it_o to_o be_v the_o righteousness_n and_o death_n of_o christ_n believe_v plain_o that_o the_o end_n why_o christ_n die_v and_o the_o fruit_n of_o his_o suffering_n be_v our_o
