grace_n without_o any_o save_a grace_n perform_v many_o previous_a action_n that_o be_v require_v of_o man_n to_o faith_n and_o repentance_n she_o may_v by_o virtue_n of_o god_n general_a grace_n

and_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o god_n do_v not_o first_o work_v a_o sight_n and_o sense_n of_o sin_n and_o a_o humiliation_n for_o it_o by_o his_o exciting_a grace_n before_o he_o come_v with_o

in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n where_o man_n be_v daily_o stir_v up_o by_o the_o word_n and_o spirit_n to_o repent_v and_o believe_v save_o god_n will_v give_v though_o not_o for_o any_o of_o these_o

in_o they_o now_o why_o when_o as_o all_o resist_n god_n shall_v reject_v some_o as_o they_o have_v reject_v he_o and_o leave_v they_o to_o the_o hardness_n of_o their_o own_o heart_n and_o work_v

who_o he_o will_v he_o harden_v god_n be_v his_o own_o reason_n and_o his_o free_a grace_n it_o be_v own_o cause_n so_o then_o we_o conclude_v that_o the_o soul_n can_v move_v one_o foot_n to_o a_o spiritual_a action_n spiritual_o not_o by_o any_o common_a grace_n it_o must_v be_v only_o by_o god_n regenerate_v and_o save_v grace_n so_o that_o to_o answer_v yet_o more_o distinct_o to_o the_o
