will_v it_o shall_v come_v to_o pass_v for_o nothing_o can_v resist_v his_o will_n but_o neither_o be_v it_o so_o probable_a in_o itself_o that_o man_n perish_v by_o the_o divine_a permission_n and_o not_o by_o his_o appointment_n as_o if_o god_n have_v not_o beforehand_o determine_v with_o himself_o what_o shall_v be_v the_o fate_n of_o the_o noble_a of_o his_o creature_n wherefore_o i_o will_v not_o doubt_v to_o affirm_v plain_o with_o st._n austin_n that_o the_o will_n of_o god_n be_v that_o necessity_n by_o which_o all_o thing_n come_v to_o pass_v and_o that_o whatsoever_o he_o will_v must_v of_o necessity_n be_v as_o that_o will_v true_o and_o certain_o fall_v out_o whatsoever_o it_o be_v that_o he_o foresee_v but_o now_o if_o either_o the_o pelagian_o the_o manichee_n the_o anabaptist_n or_o the_o epicurean_o for_o we_o have_v to_o do_v in_o this_o argument_n with_o these_o four_o sort_n of_o man_n if_o all_o or_o any_o of_o these_o shall_v in_o defence_n and_o

then_o they_o do_v though_o they_o will_v never_o so_o fain_o this_o will_n by_o no_o mean_n serve_v their_o turn_n for_o if_o nothing_o else_o be_v mean_v by_o predestination_n but_o only_o that_o it_o be_v the_o dispensation_n or_o distribution_n of_o the_o divine_a justice_n which_o proceed_v upon_o hide_a but_o yet_o without_o question_n upon_o very_o good_a and_o worthy_a ground_n from_o hence_o it_o follow_v because_o the_o reprobate_n be_v not_o worthy_a to_o perish_v that_o it_o be_v just_a they_o shall_v add_v to_o this_o that_o their_o destruction_n depend_v in_o such_o manner_n upon_o predestination_n as_o that_o all_o this_o while_n the_o cause_n and_o matter_n of_o their_o ruin_n be_v in_o themselves_o for_o the_o first_o man_n fall_v because_o god_n see_v it_o good_a that_o he_o shall_v fall_v but_o why_o he_o think_v it_o good_a we_o can_v tell_v only_o thus_o much_o we_o certum_fw-la tamen_fw-la est_fw-la non_fw-la know_v that_o he_o will_v not_o aliter_fw-la

you_o hear_v mention_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n then_o think_v of_o his_o justice_n for_o that_o must_v at_o least_o be_v just_a which_o deserve_v praise_n and_o commendation_n wherefore_o though_o the_o fall_n of_o man_n be_v ordain_v by_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n yet_o he_o fall_v by_o occasion_n of_o his_o own_o corruption_n god_n when_o he_o make_v all_o thing_n give_v they_o this_o character_n that_o they_o be_v exceed_o good_a that_o it_o may_v not_o be_v think_v the_o corruption_n of_o any_o nature_n be_v a_o thing_n of_o god_n make_v therefore_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o man_n by_o his_o own_o pravity_n corrupt_v that_o nature_n which_o he_o have_v receive_v pure_a and_o untainted_a from_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n and_o draw_v posterity_n after_o he_o into_o the_o common_a ruin_n wherefore_o let_v we_o rather_o betake_v ourselves_o to_o that_o clear_a and_o apparent_a cause_n of_o damnation_n which_o be_v to_o be_v find_v in_o the_o corruption_n of_o

not_o be_v think_v a_o thing_n unreasonable_a for_o a_o humane_a understanding_n which_o be_v finite_a to_o acknowledge_v that_o there_o be_v some_o effect_n of_o the_o divine_a wisdom_n which_o it_o can_v fathom_v and_o into_o which_o it_o ought_v not_o with_o a_o too_o nice_a and_o solicitous_a curiosity_n to_o pry_v for_o it_o be_v a_o piece_n of_o learning_n or_o at_o least_o of_o ingenuity_n to_o confess_v ourselves_o ignorant_a of_o those_o thing_n which_o can_v be_v know_v or_o into_o which_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o we_o to_o inquire_v and_o a_o too_o great_a desire_n of_o knowledge_n in_o case_n of_o this_o nature_n be_v in_o effect_n nothing_o better_o than_o a_o sort_n of_o madness_n in_o which_o citation_n of_o mr._n calvin_n it_o be_v admirable_a to_o observe_v what_o

sense_n repugnant_a to_o and_o inconsistent_a with_o their_o neighbour_n for_o first_o he_o seem_v to_o make_v the_o divine_a permission_n and_o appointment_n to_o be_v exact_o the_o same_o than_o he_o take_v they_o in_o sunder_o and_o will_v not_o allow_v the_o former_a to_o be_v sufficient_a he_o grant_v the_o predestination_n to_o be_v of_o itself_o sufficient_a to_o produce_v the_o predetermined_a effect_n and_o yet_o to_o avoid_v the_o inconvenience_n of_o the_o objection_n make_v by_o the_o pelagian_o and_o other_o he_o have_v recourse_n to_o the_o corruption_n of_o our_o nature_n which_o he_o impute_v to_o ourselves_o but_o now_o either_o adam_n corrupt_v his_o nature_n voluntary_o or_o he_o do_v not_o if_o he_o do_v than_o he_o be_v a_o free_a and_o voluntary_a

whether_o the_o necessity_n be_v a_o necessity_n of_o nature_n or_o a_o superinduce_v necessity_n from_o without_o it_o be_v equal_o a_o necessity_n in_o both_o case_n but_o let_v it_o fare_v how_o it_o will_v with_o adam_n all_o the_o calvinistical_a tribe_n be_v agree_v in_o this_o that_o we_o that_o be_v his_o posterity_n be_v always_o conclude_v under_o a_o irresistible_a fate_n and_o so_o the_o pelagian_a and_o epicurean_a objection_n return_v with_o a_o force_n as_o irresistible_a as_o that_o fate_n by_o which_o humane_a nature_n be_v pretend_v to_o be_v act_v again_o i_o do_v not_o
