unto_o the_o divine_a will_n without_o merit_n to_o confer_v upon_o a_o man_n great_a gift_n who_o use_v former_a gifis_n even_o before_o faith_n as_o well_o as_o he_o can_v for_o this_o opinion_n

for_o grace_n 3._o because_o this_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o merit_n that_o whatsoever_o be_v give_v in_o the_o way_n of_o merit_n merit_n be_v the_o cause_n thereof_o and_o for_o that_o reason_n it_o be_v give_v otherwise_o not_o give_v but_o now_o the_o preach_a of_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o gift_n attend_v on_o it_o happen_z to_z very_o many_o who_o have_v foul_o abuse_v former_a gift_n so_o that_o a_o adequat_fw-la rule_n of_o this_o concession_n can_v be_v take_v from_o the_o use_n of_o former_a grace_n and_o this_o be_v main_o urge_v by_o the_o father_n to_o show_v that_o the_o grace_n

salvation_n be_v whole_o of_o divine_a gift_n that_o when_o we_o follow_v god_n call_v we_o owe_v it_o to_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o in_o other_o thing_n which_o be_v well_o say_v by_o molinaeus_n to_o the_o honour_n of_o grace_n i_o be_o of_o his_o mind_n they_o be_v all_o without_o controversy_n among_o the_o protestant_n but_o though_o a_o man_n not_o yet_o regenerate_v be_v able_a to_o do_v no_o spiritual_a work_n i._n true_o and_o proper_o such_o though_o no_o man_n without_o faith_n can_v please_v god_n i._o to_o justification_n yet_o do_v it_o not_o follow_v hence_o that_o a_o man_n excite_v by_o prevenient_a grace_n not_o at_o present_a regenerate_v can_v by_o the_o power_n of_o that_o grace_n do_v something_o which_o the_o divine_a goodness_n may_v accept_v of_o so_o far_o as_o to_o carry_v on_o the_o doer_n to_o that_o grace_n without_o which_o he_o can_v be_v justify_v wherefore_o whereas_o molinaeus_n say_v it_o be_v impious_a to_o hold_v any_o degree_n of_o sufficient_a grace_n without_o faith_n in_o christ_n it_o be_v very_o true_a if_o you_o understand_v grace_n immediate_o sufficient_a unto_o salvation_n or_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o

than_o austin_n we_o find_v man_n be_v predestinate_a for_o merit_n for_o they_o speak_v of_o a_o absolute_a decree_n of_o give_v glory_n by_o way_n of_o reward_n whence_o ambrose_n who_o merit_n he_o
