of_o heart_n for_o 13.8_o for_o rev._n 13.8_o the_o lamb_n be_v slay_v from_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n though_o not_o actual_o yet_o so_o as_o to_o be_v the_o object_n of_o divine_a prescience_n unless_o you_o will_v say_v he_o be_v slay_v from_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n and_o yet_o god_n know_v not_o of_o it_o it_o be_v then_o foreknow_v unto_o god_n that_o the_o lamb_n will_v he_o actual_o slay_v before_o they_o that_o slay_v he_o have_v do_v good_a or_o evil_n so_o that_o if_o god_n do_v enforce_v whatever_o he_o foreknow_v than_o they_o who_o crucify_v our_o saviour_n be_v under_o a_o necessity_n of_o do_v it_o from_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n and_o they_o who_o shall_v be_v seduce_v by_o antichrist_n to_o believe_v a_o lie_n and_o so_o be_v damn_v have_v be_v about_o sixteen_o hundred_o year_n under_o a_o satal_a decree_n of_o damnation_n and_o even_o adam_n who_o all_o man_n grant_v to_o have_v have_v freewill_n must_v have_v be_v under_o a_o necessity_n of_o fall_v unless_o we_o shall_v suppose_v that_o when_o god_n foreordain_v his_o dear_a son_n for_o a_o 1.20_o a_o 1_o pet._n 1.20_o sacrifice_n he_o do_v not_o know_v to_o what_o end_n but_o the_o lamb_n slay_v do_v suppose_v sin_n to_o be_v atone_v and_o that_o imply_v sinner_n now_o there_o can_v not_o be_v sinner_n but_o some_o body_n must_v sin_v first_o and_o that_o be_v the_o first_o man_n adam_n must_v by_o this_o argument_n have_v sin_v not_o out_o of_o choice_n but_o unavoidable_a necessity_n which_o be_v a_o most_o horrid_a and_o impious_a absurdity_n thus_o we_o have_v at_o hand_n three_o pregnant_a instance_n which_o do_v mighty_o expose_v the_o weakness_n of_o the_o objection_n the_o sin_n of_o adam_n the_o death_n of_o christ_n the_o destruction_n of_o jerusalem_n the_o first_o of_o these_o appear_v to_o have_v be_v certain_o foreknow_v unto_o god_n and_o yet_o none_o deny_v that_o adam_n have_v power_n to_o have_v stand_v innocent_a the_o second_o be_v so_o particular_o foretell_v by_o our_o saviour_n himself_o that_o the_o very_a person_n be_v point_v out_o who_o be_v the_o chief_a actor_n in_o it_o yet_o have_v they_o know_v they_o will_v not_o have_v cruoify_v the_o lord_n of_o glory_n the_o three_o likewise_o be_v large_o and_o punctual_o prophesy_v yet_o have_v 23.36_o have_v mat._n 23.36_o jerusalem_n know_v in_o her_o day_n the_o thing_n which_o belong_v to_o her_o peace_n christ_n say_v 19.42_o say_v luke_n 19.42_o he_o will_v have_v gather_v her_o child_n together_o as_o the_o hen_n gather_v her_o chicken_n under_o her_o wing_n but_o she_o will_v not_o so_o that_o in_o these_o great_a event_n we_o may_v easy_o discern_v a_o reserve_a condition_n and_o a_o evident_a possibility_n of_o have_v be_v otherwise_o though_o they_o be_v all_o know_v unto_o god_n from_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n for_o in_o case_n of_o right_a judgement_n and_o information_n possible_a enough_o to_o have_v be_v attain_v adam_n have_v not_o sin_v christ_n have_v not_o suffer_v jerusalem_n have_v not_o be_v ruin_v they_o be_v all_o indeed_o foresee_v in_o their_o cause_n and_o those_o cause_n be_v sure_a to_o produce_v their_o proper_a effect_n so_o far_o as_o they_o be_v permit_v that_o be_v god_n foresee_v that_o man_n leave_v to_o their_o liberty_n and_o their_o lust_n will_v make_v a_o false_a estimate_n of_o thing_n and_o will_v be_v sure_a to_o act_v according_o but_o yet_o such_o foresight_n have_v no_o causality_n upon_o such_o action_n as_o have_v be_v say_v nor_o can_v there_o be_v any_o enforcement_n from_o god_n upon_o such_o event_n whereby_o the_o liberty_n of_o free_a agent_n be_v in_o the_o least_o diminish_v if_o the_o scripture_n be_v admit_v for_o truth_n but_o here_o i_o will_v not_o be_v misunderstand_v as_o if_o i_o think_v god_n to_o be_v a_o unactive_a beholder_n of_o all_o those_o transaction_n which_o be_v foretell_v by_o prophecy_n sure_o he_o be_v too_o much_o a_o cause_n of_o all_o thing_n to_o be_v a_o nude_v spectator_n of_o any_o one_o action_n and_o certain_a event_n i_o grant_v to_o have_v be_v as_o well_o predetermine_v as_o prophesy_v of_o which_o i_o shall_v give_v instance_n present_o when_o god_n purpose_v to_o have_v any_o thing_n bring_v about_o he_o can_v easy_o set_v agent_n at_o work_n and_o remove_v impediment_n he_o can_v turn_v man_n heart_n like_o river_n of_o water_n yet_o never_o so_o as_o to_o put_v any_o preternatural_a force_n upon_o the_o will_v to_o do_v evil_a for_o the_o course_n of_o divine_a providence_n though_o invisible_a to_o we_o i_o conceive_v to_o be_v so_o lay_v and_o thing_n dependent_a by_o god_n disposal_n in_o such_o a_o series_n and_o concatenation_n that_o various_a cause_n and_o contingent_n shall_v concur_v to_o operate_v upon_o man_n faculty_n in_o such_o sort_n as_o to_o make_v they_o willing_a to_o act_v their_o part_n unknown_a ofttimes_o unto_o themselves_o in_o order_n to_o effect_v the_o almighty_n purpose_n upon_o which_o account_n i_o be_o apt_a to_o believe_v that_o even_o in_o reference_n to_o those_o event_n that_o be_v under_o a_o peremptory_a decree_n most_o of_o the_o actor_n that_o bring_v they_o about_o be_v as_o much_o free_a agent_n as_o be_v the_o husband_n man_n in_o his_o choice_n of_o a_o fit_a season_n to_o plough_v his_o ground_n but_o however_o the_o thing_n i_o main_o insist_v upon_o be_v these_o that_o since_o man_n derive_v that_o strength_n from_o god_n by_o which_o they_o blaspheme_n his_o name_n and_o violate_v his_o law_n god_n must_v be_v the_o primary_n cause_v of_o those_o action_n but_o not_o of_o the_o will_v wherewith_o they_o be_v do_v that_o he_o do_v not_o enforce_v the_o volition_n unto_o evil_a and_o yet_o he_o fore-knows_a they_o and_o that_o in_o divers_a instance_n it_o do_v appear_v that_o those_o event_n and_o action_n have_v be_v foreknow_v unto_o god_n of_o which_o the_o immediate_a instrument_n have_v be_v free_a and_o voluntary_a agent_n as_o have_v already_o be_v make_v evident_a there_o be_v yet_o another_o part_n of_o the_o objection_n to_o be_v consider_v namely_o that_o future_a contingent_n be_v not_o knowable_a i_o confess_v they_o be_v inscrutable_a to_o we_o to_o who_o they_o be_v contingent_a but_o to_o god_n there_o can_v be_v no_o such_o thing_n for_o he_o that_o make_v any_o thing_n contingent_a unto_o god_n leave_v he_o obnoxious_a to_o surprise_n and_o disappointment_n and_o consequent_o under_o great_a difficulty_n of_o govern_v the_o world_n for_o the_o clear_n of_o this_o point_n let_v we_o lay_v down_o for_o a_o groundwork_n what_o i_o hope_n be_v not_o deny_v by_o any_o that_o i_o be_o concern_v with_o namely_o that_o god_n almighty_n know_v most_o perfect_o all_o thing_n present_a and_o let_v we_o see_v whether_o this_o will_v not_o both_o infer_v the_o knowledge_n of_o thing_n to_o come_v and_o take_v away_o all_o contingency_n with_o respect_n unto_o god_n and_o by_o the_o way_n let_v we_o observe_v the_o knowledge_n of_o mankind_n which_o though_o very_o dim_a and_o imperfect_a even_o in_o thing_n now_o existent_a and_o before_o our_o eye_n yet_o extend_v in_o some_o degree_n to_o thing_n both_o past_a and_o future_a the_o historian_n be_v acquaint_v with_o many_o revolution_n of_o former_a age_n and_o from_o a_o parity_n of_o reason_n may_v foresee_v some_o that_o be_v to_o come_v the_o physician_n that_o understand_v in_o any_o competent_a measure_n the_o nature_n of_o a_o medicine_n know_v from_o whence_o it_o

of_o which_o it_o be_v compose_v and_o what_o feat_n it_o will_v perform_v the_o philosopher_n that_o inquire_v into_o the_o reason_n of_o thing_n and_o the_o agency_n of_o body_n with_o the_o

the_o astronomer_n can_v tell_v the_o future_a appearance_n of_o heaven_n as_o be_v note_v before_o now_o if_o all_o this_o and_o much_o more_o result_v from_o man_n imperfect_a knowledge_n of_o a_o few_o thing_n we_o must_v sure_o conclude_v something_o further_o from_o god_n most_o perfect_a knowledge_n of_o all_o thing_n especial_o if_o we_o add_v hereunto_o the_o consideration_n of_o his_o
