any_o thing_n alone_o by_o ourselves_o can_v do_v every_o thing_n by_o he_o who_o enable_v we_o so_o that_o man_n have_v nothing_o wherein_o he_o can_v glorify_v himself_o nor_o any_o cause_n to_o

only_o in_o he_o &_o by_o he_o and_o we_o can_v hardly_o conceive_v how_o any_o other_o intent_n or_o application_n can_v be_v impute_v to_o us._n we_o fix_v in_o he_o alone_o so_o entire_o all_o the_o hope_n of_o our_o salvation_n as_o we_o present_v to_o god_n every_o day_n those_o word_n in_o the_o sacrifice_n vouchsafe_v o_o god_n to_o grant_v unto_o we_o sinner_n your_o servant_n who_o

to_o raise_v or_o insist_v upon_o needless_a difficulty_n reflect_v upon_o what_o they_o have_v condescend_v unto_o towards_o a_o union_n with_o the_o lutheran_n and_o what_o they_o have_v grant_v to_o their_o own_o fraternity_n in_o the_o point_n of_o grace_n &_o predestination_n that_o procede_v aught_o to_o have_v instruct_v they_o to_o restrain_v &_o confine_v their_o inquiry_n in_o this_o

within_o those_o limit_n they_o will_v quick_o be_v satisfy_v &_o soon_o will_v desist_v from_o their_o object_v to_o we_o our_o nullify_n the_o grace_n of_o god_n by_o our_o ascribe_v all_o to_o

spirit_n and_o that_o as_o many_o good_a work_n as_o we_o perform_v be_v so_o many_o free_a gift_n of_o grace_n and_o we_o can_v but_o confess_v that_o the_o most_o learned_a of_o their_o party_n do_v not_o now_o contend_v so_o much_o in_o this_o point_n as_o they_o do_v at_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o schism_n and_o there_o be_v few_o that_o will_v not_o avow_v that_o a_o separation_n ought_v not_o to_o have_v be_v make_v upon_o this_o controversy_n but_o if_o this_o so_o important_a difficulty_n in_o the_o point_n of_o justification_n of_o which_o their_o first_o author_n raise_v their_o strong_a fort_n be_v no_o long_o account_v so_o capital_a by_o the_o most_o intelligent_a and_o sufficient_a person_n of_o their_o party_n we_o desire_v they_o to_o reflect_v what_o judgement_n ought_v to_o be_v make_v of_o their_o separation_n and_o how_o much_o we_o may_v hope_v a_o reconciliation_n if_o they_o will_v raise_v their_o mind_n from_o under_o all_o prepossession_n and_o renounce_v the_o spirit_n of_o contention_n it_o will_v not_o be_v amiss_o that_o i_o explain_v further_o in_o what_o manner_n we_o conceive_v ourselves_o capable_a to_o satisfy_v god_n by_o his_o grace_n indulgence_n in_o order_n to_o the_o leave_v no_o doubt_n or_o scruple_n in_o this_o matter_n the_o catholic_n do_v unanimous_o profess_v &_o teach_v that_o christ_n jesus_n only_o god_n &_o man_n unite_v be_v sufficient_o qualify_v by_o the_o infinite_a dignity_n of_o his_o person_n to_o make_v satisfaction_n for_o our_o sin_n but_o have_v superaboundant_o satisfy_v he_o have_v power_n to_o apply_v unto_o we_o a_o entire_a abolition_n without_o reserve_v any_o punishment_n or_o by_o commutation_n of_o a_o great_a into_o a_o lesser_a penalty_n that_o be_v exchange_v a_o eternal_a pain_n into_o temporal_a sufferance_n and_o by_o reason_n that_o this_o first_o sort_n of_o mercy_n be_v the_o most_o complete_a and_o most_o suit_v to_o his_o goodness_n he_o have_v take_v that_o course_n in_o our_o baptism_n but_o we_o maintain_v that_o he_o use_v the_o second_o manner_n in_o the_o remission_n he_o grant_v to_o those_o who_o after_o baptism_n relapse_n into_o sin_n be_v in_o a_o manner_n force_v to_o it_o by_o the_o ingratitude_n of_o those_o who_o have_v abuse_v his_o gift_n so_o that_o such_o offender_n be_v condemn_v to_o some_o temporal_a pain_n although_o the_o eternal_a punishment_n be_v remit_v but_o from_o hence_o it_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v infer_v that_o jesus-christ_n have_v not_o full_o satisfy_v for_o we_o but_o rather_o the_o contrary_a viz_o that_o he_o have_v purchase_v a_o absolute_a right_n and_o title_n of_o propriety_n in_o we_o by_o the_o infinite_a price_n of_o his_o blood_n pay_v for_o our_o salvation_n he_o grant_v our_o pardon_n with_o what_o condition_n and_o under_o what_o law_n and_o reservation_n he_o please_v to_o impose_v we_o shall_v be_v very_o ungrateful_a &_o injurious_a to_o our_o saviour_n shall_v we_o presume_v to_o question_v the_o infiniteness_n of_o his_o merit_n by_o this_o pretext_n that_o have_v pardon_v we_o the_o sin_n of_o adam_n he_o do_v not_o deliver_v and_o free_v we_o at_o the_o same_o time_n
