election_n pertain_v and_o how_o a_o man_n may_v be_v certain_a thereof_o between_o predestination_n and_o election_n this_o difference_n there_o be_v predestination_n be_v as_o well_o to_o the_o

respect_v the_o save_v be_v call_v election_n and_o be_v thus_o define_v predestination_n be_v the_o eternal_a decreement_n of_o god_n purpose_v before_o in_o himself_o what_o shall_v befall_v all_o man_n either_o to_o salvation_n or_o damnation_n election_n be_v the_o free_a mercy_n and_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o his_o own_o will_n through_o faith_n in_o christ_n his_o son_n choose_v and_o prefer_v to_o life_n such_o as_o please_v he_o in_o this_o definition_n of_o election_n first_o go_v before_o the_o mercy_n and_o grace_n of_o god_n as_o the_o cause_n thereof_o whereby_o be_v exclude_v all_o work_n of_o the_o law_n and_o merit_n of_o deserve_v whether_o they_o go_v before_o faith_n or_o come_v after_o so_o be_v jacob_n choose_v and_o esau_n refuse_v before_o either_o of_o they_o begin_v to_o work_v etc._n etc._n second_o in_o that_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n in_o this_o definition_n be_v say_v to_o be_v free_a thereby_o be_v to_o be_v note_v the_o proceed_n and_o work_v of_o god_n not_o to_o be_v bind_v to_o any_o ordinary_a place_n or_o to_o any_o succession_n of_o choice_n nor_o to_o state_n and_o dignity_n of_o person_n nor_o to_o worthiness_n of_o blood_n etc._n etc._n but_o all_o go_v by_o the_o mere_a will_n of_o his_o own_o purpose_n as_o it_o be_v write_v spiritus_fw-la ubi_fw-la vult_fw-la spirat_fw-la etc._n etc._n and_o thus_o be_v the_o outward_a race_n and_o stock_n of_o abraham_n after_o flesh_n refuse_v which_o seem_v to_o have_v the_o pre-eminence_n and_o another_o seed_n after_o the_o spirit_n raise_v by_o abraham_n of_o the_o stone_n that_o be_v of_o the_o gentile_n so_o be_v the_o outward_a temple_n of_o jerusalem_n and_o chair_n of_o moses_n which_o seem_v to_o be_v of_o price_n forsake_v and_o god_n chair_n advance_v in_o other_o nation_n so_o be_v tall_a saul_n refuse_v and_o little_a david_n accept_v the_o rich_a the_o proud_a and_o the_o wise_a of_o this_o world_n reject_v and_o the_o word_n of_o salvation_n daily_o open_v to_o the_o poor_a and_o miserable_a abject_n the_o high_a mountain_n cast_v under_o and_o the_o low_a valley_n exalt_v etc._n etc._n and_o in_o the_o next_o place_n it_o be_v add_v in_o his_o own_o will_n by_o this_o fall_v down_o the_o free_a will_n and_o purpose_n of_o man_n with_o all_o his_o action_n counsel_n and_o strength_n of_o nature_n according_a as_o it_o be_v write_v non_fw-la est_fw-la volentis_fw-la neque_fw-la currentis_fw-la sed_fw-la miserentis_fw-la dei_fw-la etc._n etc._n it_o be_v not_o he_o that_o will_v nor_o in_o he_o that_o run_v but_o in_o god_n that_o show_v

young_a son_n that_o run_v away_o luk._n 15._o whereby_o we_o have_v to_o understand_v how_o the_o matter_n go_v not_o by_o the_o will_n of_o man_n but_o by_o the_o will_n of_o god_n as_o it_o please_v he_o to_o accept_v according_a as_o it_o be_v write_v non_fw-la ex_fw-la voluntate_fw-la carnis_fw-la neque_fw-la ex_fw-la voluntate_fw-la viri_fw-la sed_fw-la ex_fw-la deo_fw-la nati_fw-la

of_o god_n only_o and_o not_o by_o the_o will_n of_o man_n so_o again_o here_o be_v to_o be_v note_v that_o the_o will_n of_o god_n never_o go_v without_o faith_n in_o christ_n jesus_n his_o son_n and_o therefore_o fourthly_a be_v this_o clause_n add_v in_o the_o definition_n through_o faith_n in_o christ_n his_o son_n which_o faith_n in_o christ_n to_o us-ward_n make_v altogether_o for_o first_o it_o certifi_v we_o of_o god_n election_n as_o this_o epistle_n of_o mr._n bradford_n do_v well_o express_v for_o whosoever_o will_v be_v certain_a of_o his_o election_n in_o god_n let_v he_o

god_n elect._n second_o the_o say_a faith_n and_o nothing_o else_o be_v the_o only_a condition_n and_o mean_n whereupon_o god_n mercy_n grace_n election_n vocation_n and_o all_o god_n promise_n to_o

which_o by_o god_n promise_n work_v out_o justification_n according_a as_o it_o be_v write_v creed_n in_o dominum_fw-la jesum_fw-la &_o salvus_fw-la eris_fw-la tu_fw-la &_o domus_fw-la tus_fw-la believe_v in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n and_o thou_o shall_v be_v save_v thou_o and_o thy_o whole_a house_n and_o thus_o much_o touch_v the_o definition_n of_o election_n with_o the_o cause_n thereof_o declare_v which_o you_o see_v now_o to_o be_v no_o merit_n or_o work_n of_o man_n whether_o they_o go_v before_o or_o come_v after_o faith_n for_o like_a as_o all_o they_o that_o be_v bear_v of_o
