soul_n the_o cockatrice_n of_o adam_n sin_n be_v first_o hatch_v i_o will_v not_o now_o dispute_v whether_o it_o be_v in_o the_o understanding_n be_v first_o blind_v or_o in_o the_o will_n be_v

because_o he_o choose_v she_o he_o have_v appropriate_v this_o happiness_n unto_o she_o lord_n i_o will_v praise_v thy_o love_n by_o which_o i_o be_v elect_v and_o i_o will_v praise_v that_o election_n by_o which_o i_o be_o separate_v from_o the_o reprobate_n lxxi_o god_n will_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o preterition_n his_o justice_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o predemnation_n he_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o give_v grace_n to_o all_o therefore_o he_o pass_v by_o some_o without_o prejudice_n to_o his_o goodness_n he_o be_v bind_v to_o punish_v sin_n in_o all_o therefore_o he_o preordaine_v the_o death_n of_o his_o own_o son_n and_o eternal_a pain_n for_o reprobate_n that_o he_o may_v not_o suffer_v prejudice_n in_o his_o justice_n lord_n if_o thou_o have_v pass_v by_o i_o i_o can_v not_o have_v blame_v thy_o goodness_n if_o thou_o shall_v punish_v i_o eternal_o i_o can_v blame_v thy_o justice_n for_o if_o thou_o give_v grace_n to_o all_o where_o be_v thy_o liberty_n if_o thou_o forgive_v all_o where_o be_v thy_o justice_n and_o equity_n lxxii_o god_n be_v a_o most_o free_a agent_n because_o he_o can_v do_v what_o he_o please_v not_o because_o he_o can_v do_v every_o thing_n his_o will_n be_v the_o supreme_a cause_n of_o all_o external_a thing_n but_o not_o of_o his_o justice_n which_o be_v internal_a as_o he_o can_v do_v that_o which_o be_v evil_a so_o he_o can_v will_v that_o which_o be_v unjust_a as_o goodness_n be_v the_o object_n of_o his_o action_n so_o justice_n be_v the_o rule_n of_o his_o will_n lord_n make_v my_o action_n subordinate_a to_o thy_o will_n as_o thy_o will_n be_v subordinate_a to_o thy_o justice_n that_o as_o thou_o can_v not_o will_v that_o which_o in_o justice_n thou_o may_v not_o so_o i_o may_v not_o do_v that_o which_o in_o wisdom_n thou_o will_v not_o lxxiii_o though_o god_n foresee_v sin_n in_o all_o yet_o he_o reject_v not_o all_o sin_n be_v the_o occasion_n why_o he_o reject_v some_o his_o will_n be_v the_o cause_n why_o he_o reject_v but_o some_o his_o will_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o discrimination_n but_o sin_n of_o reprobation_n lord_n i_o confess_v it_o be_v not_o for_o want_v of_o sin_n in_o i_o that_o thou_o do_v not_o reject_v i_o but_o because_o there_o be_v no_o want_n of_o goodness_n in_o thou_o therefore_o thou_o do_v elect_v i_o my_o sin_n be_v the_o cause_n why_o i_o may_v have_v be_v reject_v but_o thy_o mercy_n be_v the_o cause_n why_o i_o be_v not_o reject_v lxxiiii_o god_n hinder_v adam_n sin_n moral_o by_o his_o law_n not_o physical_o by_o his_o power_n he_o give_v a_o law_n to_o guide_v he_o threaten_n to_o affright_v he_o promise_v to_o induce_v he_o sufficient_a grace_n to_o strengthen_v he_o but_o use_v no_o violence_n or_o force_n to_o restrain_v he_o he_o will_v not_o thwart_v or_o destroy_v by_o any_o violent_a restriction_n that_o liberty_n which_o he_o give_v he_o by_o creation_n thus_o we_o see_v his_o prudence_n in_o not_o restrain_v sin_n physical_o and_o withal_o his_o goodness_n in_o curb_v it_o moral_o lxxv_o god_n will_v the_o death_n of_o a_o sinner_n because_o he_o foresee_v the_o impenitency_n of_o the_o sinner_n this_o be_v his_o consequent_a not_o his_o antecedent_n will_v in_o this_o his_o will_n depend_v not_o on_o the_o creature_n
