sol_fw-mi &_o homo_fw-la generant_fw-la hominem_fw-la one_o as_o the_o universal_a cause_n the_o other_o as_o the_o particular_a cause_n thus_o grace_n and_o freewill_n produce_v a_o good_a action_n

to_o say_v grace_v regenerate_v and_o convert_v this_o man_n again_o they_o make_v grace_v a_o partial_a cause_n only_o so_o that_o it_o stir_v up_o our_o natural_a strength_n to_o work_v this_o or_o that_o good_a thing_n and_o therefore_o we_o be_v synergist_n or_o co-worker_n with_o nature_n god_n in_o the_o work_n of_o conversion_n but_o this_o suppose_v we_o not_o dead_a in_o sin_n 9_o man_n

the_o text_n be_v clear_a they_o do_v by_o nature_n the_o thing_n of_o the_o law_n some_o do_v not_o like_o that_o dictinction_n they_o may_v do_v the_o substance_n of_o the_o work_n but_o not_o the_o

may_v be_v do_v thus_o ahab_n he_o external_o humble_v himself_o and_o some_o think_v that_o uriah_n which_o isaiah_n call_v the_o faithful_a witness_n he_o take_v to_o he_o to_o be_v the_o same_o with_o he_o that_o bring_v in_o the_o altar_n of_o damascus_n so_o that_o though_o he_o be_v a_o idolater_n and_o a_o ungodly_a man_n yet_o he_o be_v repute_v a_o faithful_a man_n in_o his_o word_n and_o certain_o this_o be_v something_o to_o make_v many_o man_n inexcusable_a they_o may_v
although_o this_o may_v be_v answer_v without_o that_o of_o paul_n who_o artthou_a o_o man_n etc._n etc._n for_o god_n do_v not_o give_v he_o this_o law_n to_o make_v he_o fall_v adam_n have_v power_n

bellarmine_n do_v confess_v that_o god_n may_v do_v that_o which_o if_o man_n shall_v do_v he_o sin_v as_o for_o instance_n man_n be_v bind_v to_o hinder_v he_o from_o sin_n that_o he_o know_v will_v do_v it_o if_o it_o lay_v in_o his_o power_n but_o god_n be_v not_o so_o tie_v both_o because_o he_o have_v the_o chief_a providence_n it_o be_v fit_a he_o shall_v let_v cause_n work_v according_a to_o their_o nature_n and_o therefore_o adam_n be_v create_v free_a he_o may_v sin_v as_o well_o as_o not_o sin_n as_o also_o because_o god_n can_v work_v evil_a thing_n out_o of_o good_a and_o last_o because_o god_n if_o he_o shall_v hinder_v all_o evil_a thing_n there_o will_v many_o good_a thing_n be_v want_v to_o the_o world_n for_o there_o be_v nothing_o which_o some_o do_v not_o abuse_v the_o

the_o arminian_n on_o one_o side_n and_o from_o some_o protestant_a author_n on_o the_o other_o side_n and_o their_o great_a instance_n of_o the_o possibility_n of_o a_o serious_a will_n and_o not_o

de_fw-fr facto_fw-la do_v make_v he_o stand_v for_o no_o question_n god_n can_v have_v confirm_v the_o will_n of_o adam_n in_o good_a as_o well_o as_o that_o of_o the_o angel_n and_o the_o glorify_a

let_v we_o consider_v the_o false_a difference_n of_o the_o papist_n and_o they_o have_v the_o socinian_o also_o agree_v with_o they_o in_o some_o thing_n first_o they_o make_v this_o a_o great_a difference_n that_o christ_n under_o the_o testament_n new_a testament_n have_v add_v more_o perfect_a law_n and_o sound_a counsel_n than_o be_v before_o as_o wilful_a poverty_n vow_a chastity_n and_o the_o socinian_o they_o labour_v to_o show_v how_o christ_n have_v add_v to_o every_o precept_n of_o the_o decalogue_n and_o they_o begin_v with_o the_o first_o that_o he_o have_v add_v to_o it_o these_o thing_n 1._o a_o command_n to_o prayer_n whereas_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n though_o godly_a man_n do_v pray_v yet_o say_v they_o impudent_o there_o be_v no_o command_n and_o then_o christ_n say_v they_o do_v not_o only_o command_v to_o pray_v but_o give_v a_o prescript_n form_n of_o prayer_n the_o second_o thing_n add_v say_v they_o be_v to_o call_v upon_o christ_n as_o a_o mediator_n in_o our_o prayer_n which_o they_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n do_v not_o and_o thus_o they_o go_v on_o over_o all_o the_o commandment_n show_v what_o new_a thing_n christ_n have_v add_v smal._n refut_n thes_n pag._n 228._o but_o i_o have_v already_o show_v that_o christ_n never_o add_v any_o moral_a duty_n which_o be_v not_o command_v before_o the_o second_o difference_n of_o the_o papist_n be_v to_o make_v the_o law_n and_o consideration_n the_o gospel_n capable_a of_o no_o opposite_a considerarion_n no_o not_o in_o any_o strict_a sense_n but_o to_o hold_v both_o a_o covenant_n of_o work_n and_o that_o the_o father_n under_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o those_o under_o the_o new_a be_v both_o justify_v by_o fulfil_v the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o herein_o lie_v that_o gross_a

papist_n upon_o a_o dangerous_a error_n call_v the_o old_a law_n and_o the_o new_a heaven_n last_o the_o papist_n make_v a_o three_o difference_n that_o under_o the_o old_a testament_n the_o father_n that_o die_v go_v not_o immediate_o to_o heaven_n therefore_o say_v they_o we_o do_v not_o say_v saint_n jeremiah_n or_o saint_n isaiah_n but_o after_o christ_n death_n then_o a_o way_n be_v open_v for_o they_o and_o we_o hence_o be_v that_o say_n sanguis_fw-la christi_fw-la est_fw-la clavis_fw-la paradisi_fw-la the_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o key_n of_o paradise_n but_o this_o be_v sufficient_o confute_v in_o the_o popish_a controversy_n i_o come_v therefore_o to_o the_o antinomian_a difference_n and_o there_o i_o new_a find_v such_o a_o one_o that_o i_o be_o confident_a be_v never_o hear_v of_o before_o in_o the_o world_n it_o be_v in_o the_o honeycomb_n of_o justification_n pag._n 117._o god_n say_v he_o see_v sin_n in_o the_o believer_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n but_o not_o in_o these_o of_o the_o new_a and_o his_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o glory_n of_o free_a justification_n be_v not_o so_o much_o reveal_v the_o veil_n be_v not_o remove_v what_o a_o weak_a reason_n be_v this_o do_v the_o less_o or_o more_o revelation_n of_o free_a justification_n make_v god_n justify_v the_o less_o free_o it_o have_v be_v a_o good_a argument_n to_o prove_v that_o the_o people_n of_o god_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n do_v not_o know_v this_o doctrine_n so_o clear_o as_o those_o in_o the_o new_a but_o that_o god_n shall_v see_v the_o more_o or_o less_o because_o of_o this_o be_v a_o strange_a consequence_n the_o place_n of_o scripture_n which_o he_o bring_v zech._n 13._o 1._o dan._n 9_o 14._o will_v make_v more_o to_o the_o purpose_n of_o a_o

5._o ver_fw-la 20._o make_v the_o contrary_a true_a for_o there_o god_n promise_v pardon_n of_o sin_n not_o to_o the_o believer_n under_o the_o gospel_n but_o to_o that_o residue_n of_o the_o jew_n which_o god_n will_v bring_v back_o from_o captivity_n as_o the_o context_n evident_o show_v so_o the_o place_n heb._n 10._o 17._o how_o gross_o be_v it_o apply_v unto_o the_o believer_n of_o the_o gospel_n only_o for_o have_v not_o the_o godly_a under_o the_o old_a testament_n the_o law_n write_v in_o their_o heart_n and_o have_v they_o not_o the_o same_o cause_n to_o take_v away_o their_o sin_n viz._n christ_n blood_n as_o well_o as_o we_o under_o the_o gospel_n his_o second_o reason_n be_v god_n see_v sin_n in_o they_o because_o they_o be_v child_n that_o have_v need_n of_o a_o rod_n but_o he_o see_v none_o in_o we_o because_o full_o grow_v heir_n what_o a_o strange_a reason_n be_v this_o for_o parent_n common_o see_v less_o sin_n in_o their_o child_n while_o young_a then_o when_o grow_v up_o and_o their_o childishness_n do_v more_o excuse_v they_o and_o although_o child_n only_o have_v a_o rod_n for_o their_o fault_n yet_o man_n grow_v up_o they_o have_v more_o terrible_a punishment_n hence_o the_o apostle_n threaten_v believer_n that_o despise_v christ_n with_o punishment_n above_o those_o that_o despise_a moses_n his_o three_o reason_n be_v because_o they_o under_o the_o law_n be_v under_o a_o schoolmaster_n therefore_o he_o see_v sin_n in_o they_o but_o none_o in_o we_o be_v no_o long_o under_o a_o schoolmaster_n but_o here_o be_v no_o solidity_n in_o this_o
