pelagian_a error_n whereas_o you_o say_v that_o some_o scripture_n seem_v too_o hold_v forth_o unto_o you_o that_o a_o man_n have_v freewill_n i_o desire_v you_o for_o your_o better_a information_n to_o take_v notice_n of_o these_o two_o proposition_n 1._o propos_a we_o do_v not_o simple_o deny_v that_o a_o man_n have_v any_o freedom_n of_o will_n but_o only_o do_v hold_v that_o no_o natural_a man_n nor_o any_o man_n of_o himself_o have_v a_o sufficient_a power_n or_o freedom_n of_o will_n unto_o the_o choose_n of_o that_o way_n which_o be_v good_a and_o right_a and_o acceptable_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n to_o the_o choose_n of_o evil_a way_n we_o grant_v that_o every_o natural_a man_n have_v freedom_n enough_o if_o so_o be_v this_o may_v be_v term_v by_o so_o good_a a_o name_n as_o freedom_n consequent_o we_o do_v not_o hold_v that_o any_o man_n be_v compel_v or_o enforce_v by_o violence_n to_o choose_v the_o evil_a or_o to_o refuse_v the_o good_a but_o that_o through_o the_o corruption_n of_o nature_n man_n unrenewed_a do_v willing_o and_o wilful_o refuse_v the_o good_a way_n and_o choose_v the_o evil_a and_o whereas_o the_o unregenerate_a person_n can_v do_v no_o otherwise_o this_o be_v not_o the_o fruit_n of_o any_o force_n or_o compulsion_n lay_v upon_o he_o but_o only_o of_o the_o obstinate_a wickedness_n or_o wicked_a obstinacy_n of_o his_o own_o corrupt_a

the_o well_o use_v of_o a_o ability_n or_o power_n give_v to_o all_o man_n but_o by_o the_o special_a grace_n of_o god_n to_o they_o afford_v who_o work_v in_o they_o both_o to_o will_v and_o to_o

this_o place_n show_v what_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o the_o israelite_n to_o do_v but_o do_v not_o prove_v that_o they_o have_v any_o ability_n of_o themselves_o to_o do_v it_o or_o that_o god_n give_v

the_o verse_n hold_v forth_o the_o free_a and_o constant_a resolution_n of_o the_o saint_n to_o serve_v the_o lord_n this_o also_o be_v teach_v in_o my_o second_o proposition_n but_o there_o you_o must_v likewise_o remember_v that_o this_o be_v the_o fruit_n of_o the_o special_a grace_n of_o god_n afford_v to_o the_o elect_a who_o work_v in_o they_o both_o to_o will_v and_o to_o do_v philip_n

this_o we_o deny_v not_o but_o consider_v also_o that_o this_o choice_n and_o petition_n be_v the_o fruit_n of_o the_o wisdom_n and_o grace_n which_o god_n have_v already_o give_v he_o compare_v
