of_o justice_n and_o of_o mercy_n it_o be_v as_o possible_a that_o god_n shall_v be_v merciful_a to_o a_o man_n that_o he_o send_v to_o hell_n as_o to_o be_v just_a to_o a_o man_n that_o he_o give_v salvation_n unto_o these_o two_o can_v never_o stand_v together_o revenge_a justice_n and_o save_a mercy_n for_o the_o lord_n vouchsafe_v salvation_n that_o his_o mercy_n may_v be_v glorify_v and_o not_o his_o justice_n so_o that_o mercy_n come_v not_o from_o the_o hand_n of_o justice_n but_o of_o mercy_n again_o in_o that_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o god_n declare_v the_o riches_n of_o his_o mercy_n to_o the_o elect_n hence_o i_o may_v note_v that_o god_n grace_n and_o mercy_n vouchsafe_v unto_o his_o choose_a it_o be_v full_a and_o perfect_a fullness_n of_o mercy_n and_o perfect_a mercy_n when_o god_n forgive_v the_o sin_n of_o his_o choose_a he_o forgive_v they_o not_o in_o part_n or_o by_o the_o half_n as_o the_o papist_n teach_v that_o god_n forgive_v the_o sin_n of_o his_o choose_a in_o respect_n of_o the_o eternal_a punishment_n but_o he_o leave_v the_o temporal_a punishment_n for_o they_o to_o do_v penance_n for_o in_o the_o time_n of_o lent_n whereas_o god_n do_v give_v unto_o his_o child_n full_a and_o perfect_a remission_n full_a and_o perfect_a justification_n full_a and_o perfect_a glorification_n heb._n 7.25_o he_o be_v able_a perfect_o to_o save_v all_o that_o come_v unto_o he_o say_v the_o author_n to_o the_o hebrew_n not_o to_o give_v a_o half_a salvation_n but_o a_o full_a salvation_n but_o to_o pass_v from_o that_o and_o in_o the_o last_o place_n observe_v we_o that_o the_o apostle_n affirm_v it_o of_o god_n choose_v that_o they_o be_v vessel_n of_o mercy_n prepare_v unto_o glory_n that_o be_v god_n in_o his_o eternal_a decree_n have_v ordain_v they_o to_o everlasting_a glory_n so_o that_o hence_o i_o may_v show_v that_o some_o particular_a person_n among_o man_n be_v appoint_v of_o god_n to_o salvation_n in_o heaven_n but_o that_o i_o have_v often_o meet_v withal_o and_o therefore_o pass_v by_o it_o but_o hence_o we_o may_v true_o take_v up_o this_o observation_n that_o life_n and_o glory_n and_o happiness_n in_o heaven_n it_o come_v unto_o god_n choose_v in_o time_n doctrine_n most_o free_o from_o the_o free_a grace_n and_o mercy_n of_o god_n without_o any_o merit_n or_o desert_n of_o they_o at_o all_o it_o be_v prepare_v for_o they_o and_o they_o for_o it_o before_o they_o have_v a_o be_v and_o before_o the_o world_n be_v matth._n 25.34_o come_v you_o bless_v inherit_v a_o kingdom_n prepare_v for_o you_o before_o the_o world_n be_v or_o from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n say_v our_o saviour_n and_o this_o truth_n the_o scripture_n say_v in_o ephes_n 2.8_o by_o grace_n yau_fw-mi be_v save_v and_o that_o not_o of_o yourselves_o it_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n and_o in_o titus_n 3.5_o not_o according_a to_o the_o work_n of_o righteousness_n that_o we_o have_v do_v but_o according_a to_o his_o mercy_n he_o have_v save_v we_o still_o run_v upon_o the_o free_a grace_n and_o mercy_n of_o god_n in_o luke_n 12.32_o fear_v not_o little_a flock_n say_v christ_n it_o be_v your_o father_n pleasure_n to_o give_v you_o a_o kingdom_n it_o be_v the_o free_a gift_n of_o your_o father_n without_o any_o of_o your_o desert_n and_o also_o in_o rom._n 6.23_o the_o apostle_n have_v say_v the_o wage_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n then_o present_o he_o subjoin_v unto_o it_o not_o as_o the_o sequel_n of_o the_o text_n do_v require_v as_o the_o remist_n themselves_o do_v confess_v in_o their_o annotation_n he_o say_v not_o the_o wage_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n and_o the_o wage_n of_o holiness_n be_v salvation_n but_o he_o change_v the_o term_n say_v he_o the_o wage_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n but_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n be_v eternal_a life_n thereby_o evidence_v that_o the_o eternal_a life_n and_o salvation_n of_o the_o godly_a in_o heaven_n it_o come_v free_o without_o any_o merit_n or_o desert_n of_o they_o at_o all_o and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o eternal_a life_n in_o heaven_n it_o be_v call_v in_o scripture_n a_o inheritance_n in_o coloss_n 1.12_o give_v thanks_o that_o he_o have_v provide_v for_o we_o a_o inheritance_n 1_o pet._n 1.4_o a_o inheritance_n immortal_a and_o undefiled_a now_o who_o know_v not_o this_o that_o a_o inheritance_n come_v to_o a_o child_n from_o the_o father_n out_o of_o the_o mere_a love_n of_o the_o father_n when_o the_o child_n it_o may_v be_v be_v not_o bear_v and_o can_v do_v any_o thing_n to_o merit_v it_o so_o the_o inheritance_n of_o heaven_n be_v prepare_v for_o the_o godly_a and_o they_o for_o it_o it_o must_v needs_o come_v from_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o the_o reason_n reason_n and_o ground_n of_o this_o be_v because_o that_o the_o whole_a glory_n of_o this_o may_v be_v unto_o the_o lord_n the_o lord_n will_v have_v the_o glory_n in_o the_o salvation_n of_o his_o choose_a in_o ephes_n 2.9_o you_o be_v save_v by_o grace_n through_o faith_n not_o of_o work_n lest_o any_o man_n shall_v boast_v and_o brag_v of_o it_o that_o he_o bring_v something_o to_o his_o salvation_n now_o this_o be_v so_o it_o meet_v direct_o with_o the_o opinion_n of_o our_o adversary_n the_o papist_n use_v those_o of_o the_o antichristian_a synagogue_n of_o rome_n it_o quite_o over_o turn_v their_o opinion_n in_o that_o they_o hold_v &_o teach_v that_o life_n and_o glory_n in_o heaven_n belong_v to_o such_o as_o be_v first_o of_o all_o justify_v by_o christ_n as_o admit_v for_o the_o merit_n and_o desert_n of_o their_o own_o good_a work_n and_o it_o belong_v to_o they_o for_o the_o merit_n of_o their_o own_o good_a work_n now_o this_o error_n beside_o the_o error_n in_o the_o ground_n of_o it_o suppose_v a_o twofold_a justification_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n which_o can_v never_o be_v prove_v in_o the_o book_n of_o god_n when_o god_n justifi_v he_o justifi_v once_o for_o all_o beside_o this_o error_n in_o the_o ground_n it_o can_v stand_v with_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n now_o deliver_v for_o if_o so_o be_v life_n and_o glory_n come_v unto_o god_n choose_v in_o time_n most_o free_o than_o not_o for_o their_o desert_n for_o free_a gift_n and_o due_a debt_n can_v stand_v together_o with_o relation_n to_o the_o same_o subject_n but_o say_v the_o papist_n life_n and_o glory_n in_o heaven_n it_o be_v call_v a_o reward_n therefore_o merit_v to_o this_o i_o answer_v the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v teach_v we_o to_o distinguish_v of_o reward_n as_o twofold_n in_o rom._n 4.4_o and_o that_o be_v either_o of_o favour_n or_o of_o debt_n now_o eternal_a life_n be_v a_o reward_n indeed_o not_o of_o debt_n but_o of_o favour_n but_o whereas_o the_o papist_n further_a reply_n christ_n have_v merit_v that_o the_o good_a work_n of_o his_o choose_a shall_v be_v meritorious_a to_o life_n and_o salvation_n a_o mere_a idle_a shift_n we_o find_v in_o the_o book_n of_o god_n that_o christ_n have_v merit_v for_o his_o choose_a and_o die_v for_o their_o sin_n but_o we_o never_o find_v he_o die_v for_o their_o good_a work_n to_o make_v they_o meritorious_a no_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n altogether_o impossible_a that_o the_o best_a work_n of_o god_n choose_v shall_v have_v in_o they_o the_o true_a and_o whole_a nature_n of_o merit_n because_o they_o be_v imperfect_a and_o they_o be_v stain_v with_o sin_n the_o best_a work_n that_o a_o man_n can_v do_v when_o he_o have_v strive_v to_o do_v his_o best_a he_o must_v go_v to_o god_n to_o crave_v pardon_n for_o his_o imbecility_n now_o these_o two_o can_v possible_o stand_v together_o to_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o mercy_n and_o yet_o be_v meritorious_a yea_o let_v i_o tell_v you_o we_o must_v take_v heed_n we_o do_v not_o abuse_v this_o doctrine_n of_o use_n 2_o god_n and_o savour_v it_o to_o our_o destruction_n and_o hereupon_o do_v as_o many_o do_v cast_v off_o all_o care_n of_o good_a work_n because_o they_o do_v not_o merit_v yet_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o show_v unto_o god_n our_o thankfulness_n for_o his_o mercy_n unto_o we_o in_o give_v we_o right_a and_o title_n to_o heaven_n and_o to_o express_v our_o thankfulness_n unto_o he_o in_o all_o holy_a obedience_n yea_o without_o question_n we_o be_v bind_v to_o thankfulness_n for_o external_a and_o temporal_a good_a thing_n because_o we_o find_v that_o the_o use_n and_o comfort_n of_o it_o come_v from_o god_n oh_o much_o more_o be_v we_o then_o to_o be_v thankful_a unto_o god_n for_o heaven_n and_o in_o give_v we_o hope_n of_o inheritance_n in_o heaven_n and_o now_o because_o every_o one_o will_v be_v ready_a to_o soothe_v up_o himself_o and_o to_o say_v i_o hope_v i_o shall_v come_v to_o heaven_n and_o i_o be_o thankful_a for_o it_o
