execration_n mara-natha_a that_o be_v pronounce_v accurse_v to_o everlasting_a destruction_n 16.22_o whence_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o church_n have_v power_n to_o pronounce_v man_n reject_v to_o everlasting_a damnation_n upon_o some_o special_a occasion_n though_o i_o dare_v not_o say_v ordinary_o and_o usual_o the_o primitive_a church_n with_o one_o consent_n pray_v against_o julian_n the_o apostata_fw-la &_o the_o prayer_n make_v be_v not_o in_o vain_a as_o appear_v by_o his_o fearful_a end_n as_o for_o private_a and_o ordinary_a man_n for_o the_o temper_n and_o rectify_v of_o their_o judgement_n in_o this_o case_n they_o must_v follow_v two_o rule_n the_o one_o be_v that_o every_o member_n of_o the_o church_n be_v bind_v to_o believe_v his_o own_o election_n it_o be_v the_o commandment_n of_o god_n bind_v the_o very_a conscience_n 3._o that_o we_o shall_v believe_v in_o christ_n now_o to_o believe_v in_o christ_n be_v not_o only_o to_o put_v our_o affiance_n in_o he_o and_o to_o be_v resolve_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v and_o sanctify_v and_o be_v glorify_v by_o he_o but_o also_o that_o we_o be_v elect_v to_o saluatioa_v in_o he_o before_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n which_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o rest_n again_o if_o of_o thing_n that_o have_v necessary_a dependence_n one_o upon_o another_o we_o be_v to_o believe_v the_o one_o than_o we_o be_v to_o believe_v the_o other_o now_o election_n &_o adoption_n be_v thing_n conjoin_v &_o the_o one_o necessary_o depend_v upon_o the_o other_o for_o all_o the_o elect_v as_o paul_n say_v be_v predestinate_a to_o adoption_n &_o we_o be_v to_o believe_v our_o own_o adoption_n &_o therefore_o also_o our_o election_n the_o second_o rule_n be_v that_o concern_v the_o person_n of_o those_o that_o be_v of_o the_o church_n we_o must_v put_v in_o practice_v the_o judgement_n of_o charity_n &_o that_o be_v to_o esteem_v of_o they_o as_o of_o the_o elect_a of_o god_n till_o god_n make_v manifest_a otherwise_o by_o virtue_n of_o this_o rule_n the_o minister_n of_o god_n word_n be_v to_o publish_v and_o preach_v the_o gospel_n to_o all_o without_o exception_n it_o be_v true_a indeed_o there_o be_v both_o wheat_n &_o darnel_n in_o god_n field_n chaff_n &_o corn_n in_o god_n barn_n fish_n &_o dross_n in_o god_n net_n sheep_n &_o goat_n in_o christ_n fold_n but_o secret_a judgement_n belong_v unto_o god_n and_o the_o rule_n of_o love_n which_o be_v to_o think_v and_o wish_v the_o best_a of_o other_o be_v to_o be_v follow_v of_o we_o that_o profess_v faith_n work_v by_o love_n it_o may_v be_v demand_v what_o we_o be_v to_o judge_v of_o they_o that_o as_o yet_o be_v enemy_n of_o christ._n ans._n our_o duty_n be_v to_o suspend_v our_o judgement_n concern_v their_o final_a estate_n for_o we_o know_v not_o whether_o god_n will_v call_v they_o or_o no_o and_o therefore_o we_o must_v rather_o pray_v for_o their_o conversion_n then_o for_o their_o confusion_n again_o it_o may_v be_v demand_v what_o be_v to_o be_v think_v of_o all_o our_o ancetour_n &_o forefather_n that_o live_v &_o die_v in_o the_o time_n when_o popery_n take_v place_n ans._n we_o may_v well_o hope_v the_o best_a &_o think_v that_o they_o be_v save_v for_o though_o the_o papacy_n be_v not_o the_o church_n of_o god_n and_o though_o the_o doctrine_n of_o popery_n race_n the_o foundation_n yet_o nevertheless_o in_o the_o very_a midst_n of_o the_o roman_a papacy_n god_n have_v always_o have_v a_o remnant_n which_o have_v in_o some_o measure_n true_o serve_v he_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n when_o open_a idolatry_n take_v place_n in_o all_o israel_n god_n say_v to_o eliah_n i_o have_v reserve_v 7._o thousand_o to_o myself_o that_o never_o bow_v knee_n to_o baal_n &_o the_o like_a be_v &_o have_v be_v in_o the_o general_a apostasy_n under_o antichrist_n s._n john_n say_v 12.17_o that_o when_o the_o woman_n flee_v into_o the_o wilderness_n for_o a_o time_n even_o then_o there_o be_v a_o remnant_n of_o her_o seed_n which_o keep_v the_o commandment_n of_o god_n &_o have_v testimony_n of_o jesus_n christ._n and_o again_o when_o ordinary_a mean_n of_o salvation_n fail_v than_o god_n can_v &_o do_v make_v a_o supply_n by_o mean_n extraordinary_a &_o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o cause_n why_o we_o shall_v say_v that_o they_o be_v condemn_v three_o it_o may_v be_v demand_v whether_o the_o common_a judgement_n give_v of_o f._n spira_n that_o he_o be_v a_o reprobate_n be_v good_a or_o no_o ans._n we_o may_v with_o better_a warrant_n say_v no_o then_o any_o man_n say_v yea_o for_o what_o gift_n of_o discern_v have_v they_o which_o come_v to_o visit_v he_o in_o his_o extremity_n &_o what_o reason_n induce_v they_o to_o give_v this_o peremptory_a judgement_n he_o say_v himself_o that_o he_o be_v a_o reprobate_n that_o be_v nothing_o a_o sick_a man_n judgement_n of_o himself_o be_v not_o to_o be_v regard_v yea_o but_o he_o despair_v a_o senseless_a reason_n for_o so_o do_v many_o a_o man_n year_n by_o year_n &_o that_o very_o often_o as_o deep_o as_o ever_o spira_n do_v &_o yet_o by_o the_o good_a help_n of_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n both_o be_v &_o may_v be_v recover_v and_o they_o which_o will_v avouch_v spira_n to_o be_v a_o reprobate_n must_v go_v further_o &_o prove_v 2._o thing_n that_o he_o despair_v both_o whole_o and_o final_o which_o if_o they_o can_v not_o prove_v we_o for_o our_o part_n must_v suspend_v our_o judgement_n and_o they_o be_v much_o to_o blame_v that_o first_o publish_v the_o book_n last_o it_o may_v be_v demandend_v what_o be_v to_o be_v think_v of_o they_o that_o make_v very_o fearful_a end_n in_o rave_v &_o blaspheme_v ans._n such_o strange_a behaviour_n be_v oftentimes_o the_o fruit_n of_o violent_a disease_n which_o torment_v the_o body_n &_o bereave_v the_o mind_n of_o sense_n &_o reason_n &_o therefore_o if_o the_o person_n live_v well_o we_o must_v think_v the_o best_a for_o we_o be_v not_o by_o outward_a thing_n to_o judge_v of_o the_o estate_n of_o any_o man_n solomon_n say_v that_o all_o thing_n come_v alike_o to_o all_o &_o the_o same_o condition_n to_o the_o just_a &_o to_o the_o wicked_a thus_o much_o of_o the_o part_n of_o predestination_n now_o follow_v the_o use_n thereof_o &_o it_o concern_v partly_o our_o judgement_n partly_o our_o affection_n &_o partly_o our_o life_n the_o use_n which_o concern_v judgement_n be_v 3._o and_o first_o by_o the_o doctrine_n of_o predestination_n we_o learn_v that_o there_o can_v not_o be_v any_o justification_n of_o a_o sinner_n before_o god_n by_o his_o work_n for_o god_n election_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o justification_n because_o who_o god_n elect_v to_o salvation_n after_o this_o life_n they_o he_o elect_v to_o be_v justify_v in_o this_o life_n now_o election_n itself_o be_v of_o grace_n and_o of_o grace_n alone_o as_o paul_n say_v election_n be_v by_o grace_n and_o if_o it_o be_v of_o grace_n it_o be_v no_o more_o of_o work_n 11.5_o or_o else_o be_v grace_v no_o grace_n therefore_o justification_n be_v of_o grace_n and_o of_o grace_n alone_o and_o i_o reason_n thus_o the_o cause_n of_o a_o cause_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o thing_n cause_v but_o grace_n alone_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o predestination_n which_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o our_o vocation_n justification_n sanctification_n etc._n etc._n grace_n therefore_o be_v also_o the_o alone_a cause_n of_o all_o these_o therefore_o the_o scripture_n ascribe_v not_o only_o the_o beginning_n but_o also_o the_o continuance_n &_o accomplishment_n of_o all_o our_o happiness_n to_o grace_n for_o first_o as_o election_n so_o vocation_n be_v of_o grace_n paul_n say_v god_n have_v call_v we_o not_o according_a to_o our_o work_n 1.9_o but_o according_a to_o his_o purpose_n and_o grace_n again_o faith_n in_o christ_n be_v of_o grace_n so_o it_o be_v say_v 1.29_o to_o you_o it_o be_v give_v to_o believe_v in_o christ._n also_o the_o justification_n of_o a_o sinner_n be_v of_o grace_n so_o paul_n say_v plain_o to_o the_o roman_n 3.24_o you_o be_v justify_v free_o by_o his_o grace_n again_o sanctification_n and_o the_o do_v of_o good_a work_n be_v of_o grace_n so_o it_o be_v say_v we_o be_v his_o workmanship_n create_v in_o christ_n jesus_n unto_o good_a work_n 2.10_o which_o god_n have_v ordain_v that_o we_o shall_v walk_v in_o they_o also_o perseverance_n in_o good_a work_n and_o godliness_n be_v of_o grace_n so_o the_o lord_n say_v i_o will_v make_v a_o everlasting_a covenant_n with_o they_o that_o i_o will_v never_o turn_v away_o from_o they_o to_o do_v they_o good_a 32.40_o but_o i_o will_v put_v my_o fear_n in_o their_o heart_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o depart_v from_o i_o last_o life_n everlasting_a be_v of_o grace_n so_o paul_n say_v life_n everlasting_a

before_o his_o face_n though_o he_o be_v now_o in_o heaven_n &_o we_o on_o earth_n &_o the_o particular_a estate_n of_o every_o one_o of_o we_o be_v both_o know_v &_o regard_v of_o he_o again_o god_n

melchisedeck_n offer_v bread_n and_o wine_n when_o abraham_n come_v from_o the_o slaughter_n of_o the_o king_n 14.18_o so_o say_v they_o christ_n in_o the_o last_o supper_n do_v offer_v his_o own_o

but_o the_o factour_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n will_v say_v that_o christ_n may_v have_v man_n to_o be_v his_o deputy_n in_o his_o stead_n to_o offer_v sacrifice_n answ._n we_o must_v consider_v christ_n 2._o way_n i._o as_o he_o be_v god_n ii_o as_o he_o be_v mediator_n as_o he_o be_v god_n with_o the_o father_n &_o with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n he_o have_v king_n &_o magistrate_n to_o be_v his_o deputy_n on_o earth_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v call_v elohim_n that_o be_v 82._o god_n but_o as_o he_o be_v mediator_n and_o so_o consequent_o a_o priest_n and_o a_o king_n he_o
