god_n in_o the_o work_n of_o his_o grace_n have_v thus_o by_o the_o evidence_n of_o scripture_n prove_v that_o man_n have_v free_a choice_n to_o choose_v or_o refuse_v in_o matter_n of_o god_n i_o will_v now_o speak_v something_o to_o common_a experience_n 1._o first_o remorse_n of_o conscience_n in_o this_o life_n and_o in_o hell_n do_v sufficient_o prove_v this_o thing_n for_o if_o man_n have_v not_o liberty_n remorse_n will_v not_o trouble_v any_o for_o whatsoever_o evil_a we_o do_v of_o necessity_n present_o we_o excuse_v it_o just_o and_o acquit_v our_o conscience_n by_o impossibility_n as_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v drink_v poison_n not_o know_v of_o it_o he_o never_o will_v have_v any_o scruple_n of_o conscience_n because_o it_o be_v unavoidable_a he_o can_v not_o prevent_v it_o but_o if_o he_o procure_v it_o himself_o or_o may_v have_v prevent_v it_o and_o will_v not_o than_o the_o torture_n of_o conscience_n will_v possess_v he_o again_o that_o worm_n of_o conscience_n that_o stick_v so_o deep_a in_o the_o soul_n of_o all_o damn_a creature_n shall_v never_o appear_v in_o hell_n if_o man_n be_v deprive_v of_o liberty_n for_o their_o torment_n consist_v in_o this_o that_o for_o their_o own_o demerit_n be_v treat_v of_o god_n in_o such_o sort_n that_o if_o they_o will_v heaven_n lay_v open_a for_o they_o by_o accept_v god_n grace_n through_o faith_n and_o obedience_n to_o the_o gospel_n and_o yet_o they_o cast_v themselves_o into_o hell_n of_o their_o own_o accord_n through_o unbelief_n and_o rebellion_n 2_o no_o humane_a law_n can_v with_o justice_n be_v enact_v but_o such_o as_o may_v be_v observe_v because_o the_o end_n of_o every_o just_a law_n be_v to_o make_v good_a subject_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v most_o absurd_a that_o all_o man_n be_v not_o able_a to_o keep_v that_o law_n which_o be_v ordain_v for_o all_o and_o by_o which_o all_o shall_v be_v judge_v to_o be_v punish_v that_o break_v it_o moreover_o the_o very_a state_n of_o man_n who_o be_v in_o this_o world_n fight_v require_v liberty_n for_o stand_v between_o heaven_n and_o hell_n god_n and_o the_o devil_n to_o overcome_v or_o be_v overcome_v all_o reason_n require_v that_o he_o may_v be_v pliable_a both_o way_n either_o to_o accept_v god_n or_o reject_v he_o follow_v satan_n or_o resist_v he_o 3_o if_o man_n want_v free_a choice_n what_o judgement_n shall_v that_o be_v in_o the_o scripture_n so_o often_o repeat_v that_o every_o man_n shall_v receive_v according_a to_o his_o work_n what_o justice_n will_v appear_v to_o torment_v man_n for_o sin_n &_o wickedness_n to_o who_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o do_v otherwise_o 4_o all_o the_o thief_n and_o wicked_a person_n that_o either_o be_v punish_v with_o the_o magistrate_n sword_n or_o with_o everlasting_a torment_n shall_v give_v witness_n against_o the_o caluinist_n in_o this_o thing_n for_o if_o they_o can_v not_o choose_v at_o that_o time_n they_o commit_v such_o evil_n but_o do_v the_o same_o by_o the_o force_n of_o god_n predestination_n than_o what_o law_n will_v punish_v a_o man_n with_o death_n for_o do_v a_o thing_n unavoidable_a for_o it_o lay_v not_o in_o their_o power_n to_o avoid_v the_o law_n of_o god_n never_o inflict_v it_o upon_o any_o and_o the_o law_n of_o the_o prince_n of_o the_o earth_n do_v not_o inflict_v it_o for_o if_o a_o man_n kill_v another_o against_o his_o will_n or_o when_o by_o no_o mean_n he_o can_v avoid_v it_o death_n be_v not_o inflict_v but_o if_o he_o may_v have_v avoid_v it_o and_o do_v not_o then_o have_v he_o liberty_n to_o avoid_v evil_a and_o do_v it_o not_o and_o so_o just_o deserve_v punishment_n final_o this_o error_n be_v the_o root_n of_o all_o licentiousness_n for_o thus_o may_v man_n true_o reason_n according_a to_o this_o doctrine_n either_o we_o be_v decree_v to_o do_v well_o or_o evil_a if_o to_o do_v well_o than_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o do_v evil_a if_o to_o do_v evil_a than_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o do_v well_o for_o all_o goodness_n proceed_v of_o grace_n compel_v our_o will_n and_o all_o evil_n come_v of_o god_n decree_n which_o we_o have_v not_o power_n to_o resist_v neither_o can_v we_o choose_v but_o do_v it_o for_o they_o say_v as_o before_o we_o be_v compel_v to_o sin_n by_o power_n which_o how_o wicked_a it_o be_v have_v sufficient_o i_o hope_v be_v show_v by_o holy_a writ_n ereu._n you_o have_v very_o large_o and_o undeniable_o prove_v that_o there_o be_v yet_o leave_v in_o man_n free_a choice_n to_o will_n or_o will_v in_o matter_n of_o god_n yet_o you_o confess_v all_o be_v through_o god_n grace_v not_o otherwise_o odeg._n yes_o i_o say_v what_o be_v in_o man_n whether_o by_o creation_n or_o regeneration_n he_o have_v it_o only_o by_o god_n and_o therefore_o to_o

and_o lose_v by_o transgression_n for_o himself_o and_o his_o posterity_n that_o be_v restore_v through_o christ_n yea_o and_o more_o too_o for_o although_o of_o ourselves_o we_o can_v do_v nothing_o

of_o sinful_a flesh_n and_o for_o sin_n condemn_v sin_n in_o the_o flesh_n so_o that_o although_o the_o flesh_n of_o itself_o can_v perceive_v the_o thing_n of_o god_n nor_o fulfil_v the_o law_n yet_o
