in_o adam_n and_o therefore_o abject_a be_v it_o so_o for_o so_o it_o be_v in_o deed_n but_o how_o do_v thou_o behold_v they_o as_o yet_o be_v in_o adam_n no_o in_o deed_n in_o that_o thou_o say_v not_o that_o god_n be_v but_o be_v the_o father_n of_o all_o nor_o to_o have_v love_v but_o to_o love_v all_o thou_o must_v therefore_o seek_v some_o other_o outscape_n very_o even_o this_o as_o thou_o may_v say_v that_o god_o nevertheless_o love_v all_o because_o he_o offer_v his_o grace_n to_o all_o but_o if_o this_o be_v so_o in_o deed_n the_o foreseen_a corruption_n have_v not_o cause_v

they_o grace_n to_o receive_v grace_n offer_v because_o that_o otherways_o the_o lord_n shall_v seem_v to_o we_o as_o i_o afterwards_o shall_v speak_v in_o his_o place_n not_o to_o deal_v faithful_o with_o man_n but_o furthermore_o it_o shall_v be_v requisite_a to_o conjoin_v contumacy_n with_o corruption_n that_o be_v furthermore_o to_o refuse_v grace_n offer_v but_o if_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v bear_v the_o child_n of_o wrath_n and_o death_n but_o we_o shall_v become_v so_o after_o we_o shall_v refuse_v grace_n offer_v in_o like_o case_n after_o pelagius_n teach_v the_o anabaptist_n and_o thy_o companion_n seruetus_fw-la cataba_n that_o child_n stand_v not_o in_o need_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_o in_o christ_n say_v that_o they_o be_v not_o reject_v by_o

thou_o return_v to_o the_o foreknow_v frowardness_n of_o esau_n the_o apostle_n resist_v who_o have_v call_v jacob_n belove_v and_o therefore_o elect_v before_o he_o be_v bear_v that_o we_o may_v

he_o may_v manifest_v his_o glory_n as_o moses_n solomon_n i_o say_v and_o paul_n do_v testify_v therefore_o thou_o say_v he_o create_v that_o which_o be_v good_a to_o destruction_n and_o he_o love_v to_o destroy_v that_o which_o be_v good_a but_o i_o say_v that_o this_o consequent_a be_v most_o foolish_a for_o thou_o conclude_v much_o more_o than_o thou_o haste_v speak_v and_o therefore_o

a_o other_o of_o the_o slanderer_n argument_n to_o create_v to_o perdition_n be_v not_o of_o love_n but_o of_o hatred_n therefore_o he_o create_v none_o to_o perdition_n refutation_n as_o this_o

for_o the_o name_n of_o sin_n agree_v not_o but_o with_o a_o deprave_a quality_n which_o whole_o be_v in_o the_o do_v instrument_n 27_o but_o by_o reason_n of_o this_o deprave_a quality_n the_o work_n which_o by_o itself_o be_v but_o one_o be_v after_o a_o sort_n make_v two_o and_o double_a and_o that_o so_o much_o that_o one_o resist_v the_o other_o that_o be_v the_o just_a work_n of_o god_n the_o unjust_a work_n of_o man_n by_o direct_a contrary_n 28_o yet_o god_n work_v other_o way_n by_o good_a instrument_n than_o by_o evil_n for_o over_o and_o above_o that_o he_o do_v his_o own_o work_n by_o good_a instrument_n the_o good_a instrument_n also_o do_v his_o work_n with_o that_o strength_n and_o efficacy_n which_o god_n give_v they_o the_o lord_n final_o do_v his_o own_o work_n by_o they_o &_o in_o they_o he_o also_o work_v to_o will_n and_o do_v so_o oft_o as_o the_o lord_n execute_v the_o just_a counsel_n and_o deer●es_n of_o his_o eternal_a will_n by_o the_o wicked_a as_o by_o

may_v do_v yet_o so_o that_o whatsoever_o he_o do_v he_o do_v it_o mosteiust_o and_o most_o just_o suffer_v what_o soever_o he_o suffer_v
in_o god_n there_o can_v be_v no_o difference_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a albeit_o for_o as_o much_o as_o he_o be_v god_n after_o his_o peculiar_a and_o proper_a manner_n he_o be_v cause_n of_o all_o

whereby_o any_o thing_n be_v so_o do_v that_o no_o regard_n be_v have_v whether_o it_o be_v just_a or_o unjust_a that_o be_v do_v we_o therefore_o do_v in_o deed_n confess_v with_o paul_n that_o all_o
