unto_o god_n and_o unto_o christ_n that_o the_o promise_n which_o we_o have_v now_o speak_v of_o may_v be_v confirm_v with_o some_o outward_a seal_n but_o thou_o will_v say_v thou_o may_v be_v deceive_v for_o that_o peradventure_o thy_o son_n do_v not_o pertain_v to_o the_o number_n of_o the_o elect_a hereunto_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o like_a difficulty_n be_v there_o in_o those_o that_o be_v of_o full_a age_n for_o it_o may_v be_v that_o a_o man_n profess_v faith_n with_o a_o feign_a hart_n or_o may_v be_v lead_v only_o by_o humane_a persuasion_n or_o may_v have_v but_o a_o faith_n for_o a_o time_n so_o that_o in_o very_a deed_n he_o pertain_v not_o unto_o the_o elect_a but_o these_o thing_n the_o minister_n regard_v not_o but_o only_o consider_v the_o confession_n which_o he_o that_o be_v to_o be_v baptize_v profess_v and_o will_v say_v that_o the_o election_n of_o god_n be_v hide_v unto_o he_o therefore_o be_v he_o not_o careful_a thereof_o he_o can_v appoint_v nothing_o of_o particular_a thing_n but_o only_o consider_v the_o general_a promise_n from_o which_o although_o many_o be_v exclude_v rom._n a_o place_n to_o the_o rom._n yet_o long_v it_o not_o to_o he_o to_o define_v who_o they_o be_v so_o paul_n speak_v of_o the_o jew_n if_o the_o root_n be_v holy_a the_o branch_n also_o shall_v be_v holy_a if_o the_o first_o fruit_n be_v holy_a the_o conspersion_n or_o mass_n also_o shall_v be_v holy_a by_o which_o word_n he_o declare_v that_o the_o love_n of_o god_n be_v bend_v unto_o the_o jew_n because_o of_o the_o promise_n and_o for_o their_o father_n sake_n and_o for_o that_o cause_n salvation_n be_v due_a unto_o they_o although_o therefore_o this_o promise_n true_a the_o promise_n of_o god_n be_v indeterminate_a and_o true_a be_v indefinite_a and_o many_o be_v exclude_v from_o it_o yet_o nevertheless_o it_o remain_v unshake_a and_o firm_a for_o always_o some_o of_o they_o be_v convert_v unto_o christ_n and_o shall_v be_v convert_v even_o unto_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n which_o thing_n be_v manifest_a in_o isaake_n unto_o who_o seed_n although_o god_n promise_v he_o will_v be_v merciful_a yet_o isaak_n a_o example_n of_o isaak_n that_o promise_n take_v place_n only_o in_o jacob_n &_o not_o in_o esau_n and_o yet_o be_v that_o no_o cause_n why_o esau_n shall_v not_o be_v circumcise_v so_o we_o grant_v that_o the_o child_n of_o christian_n which_o pertain_v unto_o the_o election_n of_o god_n be_v holy_a but_o yet_o they_o be_v spot_v with_o original_a sin_n because_o by_o nature_n they_o be_v the_o child_n of_o wrath_n as_o other_o be_v and_o if_o god_n do_v put_v away_o the_o guiltiness_n and_o impute_v it_o not_o unto_o they_o to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v be_v save_v that_o come_v unto_o they_o of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n &_o &_o of_o his_o mere_a mercy_n &_o not_o of_o the_o pureness_n of_o their_o nature_n see_v therefore_o they_o respect_n infant_n elect_v when_o they_o be_v bear_v be_v both_o holy_a &_o the_o child_n of_o wrath_n in_o diverse_a respect_n be_v bear_v of_o a_o corrupt_a mass_n and_o also_o they_o pertain_v unto_o the_o number_n of_o the_o elect_a we_o affirm_v either_o both_o that_o they_o be_v holy_a and_o that_o also_o by_o nature_n they_o be_v the_o child_n of_o wrath_n wherefore_o it_o plain_o appear_v how_o this_o argument_n may_v be_v dissolve_v but_o they_o add_v moreover_o that_o in_o infant_n be_v find_v nothing_o speak_v do_v or_o think_v against_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o they_o have_v no_o sin_n at_o all_o how_o foul_o they_o be_v herein_o deceive_v plain_o appear_v by_o those_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v already_o say_v for_o this_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o they_o shall_v thus_o reason_v &_o say_v they_o have_v no_o actual_a sin_n ergo_fw-la they_o have_v no_o sin_n for_o to_o reason_n from_o the_o species_n to_o the_o argument_n a_o false_a argument_n general_a word_n by_o a_o negation_n be_v a_o ill_a kind_n of_o reason_v but_o they_o be_v deceive_v for_o that_o they_o follow_v not_o the_o universal_a nature_n or_o definition_n of_o sin_n which_o we_o have_v so_o before_o describe_v that_o it_o comprehend_v all_o thing_n that_o be_v by_o any_o mean_v repugnant_a unto_o the_o law_n of_o god_n they_z object_n also_o that_o it_o be_v not_o well_o say_v that_o original_a sin_n be_v spread_v abroad_o by_o the_o seed_n and_o

by_o inchoation_n as_o in_o the_o root_n but_o then_o the_o nature_n of_o sin_n be_v finish_v when_o the_o soul_n be_v now_o join_v to_o it_o we_o have_v declare_v also_o what_o be_v to_o be_v

one_o man_n many_o be_v make_v sinner_n and_o which_o be_v more_o firm_a he_o have_v prove_v that_o therefore_o sin_n be_v in_o the_o world_n before_o the_o law_n because_o death_n reign_v from_o adam_n even_o unto_o moses_n there_o be_v also_o other_o reason_n which_o augustine_n use_v against_o the_o pelagian_n which_o be_v not_o needful_a now_o to_o be_v repete_v farther_o they_o add_v that_o humane_a affliction_n and_o death_n itself_o be_v natural_a for_o they_o have_v in_o we_o principle_n of_o nature_n from_o whence_o they_o do_v flow_v but_o hereunto_o we_o answer_v that_o these_o principle_n be_v not_o so_o frame_v when_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n be_v first_o institute_v but_o they_o be_v afterward_o vitiate_v and_o corrupt_a as_o we_o now_o see_v they_o be_v the_o

wheresoever_o be_v true_a faith_n there_o justification_n follow_v but_o the_o apostle_n by_o work_n of_o the_o law_n understand_v as_o they_o be_v do_v of_o they_o be_v unprofitable_a and_o procede_v

at_o any_o time_n attribute_n righteousness_n unto_o good_a work_n that_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v by_o reason_n of_o faith_n which_o they_o have_v as_o a_o root_n his_o commandment_n and_o with_o

must_v we_o understand_v the_o father_n also_o when_o they_o ascribe_v so_o excellent_a thing_n unto_o work_n for_o they_o take_v they_o join_v with_o faith_n grace_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o so_o they_o ascribe_v unto_o they_o eternal_a life_n and_o other_o such_o like_a thing_n which_o be_v understand_v to_o be_v give_v unto_o they_o by_o reason_n of_o faith_n and_o the_o spirit_n and_o to_o declare_v the_o same_o this_o be_v a_o very_a apt_a similitude_n we_o say_v that_o man_n be_v reasonable_a unto_o who_o yet_o we_o ascribe_v reason_n not_o because_o of_o the_o body_n but_o because_o of_o the_o soul_n which_o be_v include_v in_o the_o body_n so_o when_o justification_n seem_v to_o be_v ascribe_v unto_o work_n we_o must_v understand_v yâ—_z that_o be_v do_v by_o reason_n

to_o the_o phillippians_n and_o christ_n shall_v be_v magnify_v in_o my_o body_n whether_o it_o be_v by_o life_n or_o by_o death_n whither_o therefore_o we_o live_v or_o die_v we_o be_v the_o lord_n this_o in_o sum_n ought_v to_o be_v of_o great_a force_n with_o they_o for_o that_o not_o only_o our_o life_n and_o death_n depend_v of_o the_o lord_n but_o also_o for_o that_o we_o all_o both_o as_o

all_o one_o with_o that_o which_o paul_n before_o say_v why_o iudge_v thou_o a_o other_o man_n servant_n that_o fault_n be_v reprove_v in_o the_o weak_a one_o and_o this_o be_v now_o lay_v to_o the_o

be_v not_o you_o make_v the_o servant_n of_o man_n for_o christ_n therefore_o die_v rise_v again_o and_o reviue_v that_o he_o may_v be_v lord_n both_o of_o the_o quick_a and_o of_o the_o dead_a here_o he_o ascribe_v a_o cause_n why_o we_o be_v by_o good_a right_n the_o lord_n for_o he_o have_v redeem_v we_o by_o his_o death_n &_o by_o his_o resurrection_n have_v deserve_v possession_n whether_o

for_o paul_n seem_v to_o speak_v against_o that_o sentence_n of_o the_o lord_n in_o 22._o chapter_n of_o matthew_n he_o be_v not_o the_o god_n of_o the_o dead_a but_o of_o the_o live_n for_o if_o he_o be_v not_o the_o god_n of_o yâ—_z dead_a how_o be_v he_o here_o say_v to_o be_v lord_n of_o the_o dead_a but_o if_o the_o matter_n be_v more_o narrow_o examine_v there_o be_v not_o herein_o contrariety_n for_o there_o the_o lord_n will_v hereby_o prove_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a for_o that_o god_n can_v not_o be_v true_o the_o god_n of_o abraham_n of_o isaac_n and_o of_o jacob_n unless_o he_o will_v have_v they_o to_o be_v save_v and_o that_o whole_o both_o as_o touch_v soul_n and_o body_n for_o it_o be_v the_o propriety_n of_o god_n to_o save_v thâ—se_a who_o god_n he_o be_v and_o the_o scripture_n in_o exodus_fw-la pronounce_v that_o god_n be_v the_o god_n of_o those_o patriarch_n wherefore_o they_o live_v and_o shall_v more_o full_o live_v in_o the_o bless_a resurrection_n hereby_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o christ_n speak_v of_o those_o which_o be_v think_v to_o be_v utter_o dead_a both_o in_o soul_n and_o in_o body_n but_o god_n can_v not_o be_v their_o god_n for_o he_o can_v not_o suffer_v such_o a_o death_n to_o prevail_v against_o he_o but_o here_o paul_n say_v that_o christ_n be_v lord_n of_o of_o the_o dead_a which_o be_v dead_a in_o
