the_o part_n of_o the_o father_n and_o of_o the_o son_n in_o the_o work_n of_o salvation_n the_o father_n give_v man_n to_o the_o son_n that_o be_v the_o part_n of_o the_o father_n i_o will_v give_v they_o life_n everlasting_a that_o be_v the_o part_n of_o the_o son_n first_o the_o father_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n choose_v out_o so_o many_o as_o he_o will_v have_v safe_a in_o his_o son_n christ_n jesus_n and_o then_o in_o time_n he_o call_v on_o they_o who_o he_o have_v choose_v he_o know_v they_o well_o enough_o he_o call_v they_o by_o his_o word_n and_o draw_v the_o soul_n of_o they_o unto_o he_o for_o if_o they_o be_v not_o draw_v they_o will_v not_o come_v as_o he_o say_v in_o the_o sixth_o chapter_n of_o this_o gospel_n vers_fw-la 44._o no_o man_n come_v to_o i_o but_o they_o who_o the_o father_n draw_v he_o draw_v they_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n to_o the_o son_n and_o then_o he_o and_o the_o son_n keep_v they_o to_o the_o day_n of_o their_o full_a redemption_n and_o give_v they_o life_n everlasting_a so_o you_o may_v see_v in_o this_o place_n and_o in_o the_o epistle_n of_o jude_n at_o the_o beginning_n that_o all_o who_o be_v safe_a in_o jesus_n christ_n be_v first_o call_v by_o the_o father_n to_o they_o say_v jude_n who_o be_v call_v and_o sanctify_v by_o god_n and_o be_v save_v by_o jesus_n christ_n i_o mark_v on_o this_o what_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o this_o authority_n where_o he_o say_v these_o a_o home_n thou_o have_v give_v i_o i_o will_v give_v they_o life_n everlasting_a he_o ascribe_v this_o authority_n to_o the_o father_n and_o he_o say_v he_o will_v save_v none_o but_o these_o who_o the_o father_n have_v give_v he_o all_o the_o brethren_n read_v of_o jesus_n christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n in_o this_o euangel_n and_o through_o out_o the_o whole_a gospel_n you_o shall_v never_o read_v of_o he_o where_o he_o speak_v of_o any_o thing_n that_o he_o be_v do_v have_v do_v or_o shall_v do_v but_o he_o give_v the_o whole_a glory_n of_o it_o to_o the_o father_n what_o mean_v this_o this_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o it_o he_o have_v his_o commission_n from_o the_o father_n he_o come_v from_o the_o heaven_n to_o the_o earth_n out_o of_o the_o bosom_n of_o the_o father_n &_o he_o be_v a_o ambassador_n send_v from_o his_o father_n now_o it_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o a_o ambassador_n send_v in_o a_o ambassadrie_n not_o only_o in_o deed_n but_o also_o in_o word_n honour_v his_o prince_n otherways_o he_o be_v but_o a_o traitor_n the_o lord_n jesus_n be_v a_o ambassador_n send_v from_o the_o father_n therefore_o in_o all_o his_o action_n and_o in_o all_o his_o word_n he_o honour_v his_o father_n there_o be_v not_o one_o of_o we_o all_o but_o we_o have_v a_o commission_n from_o god_n and_o be_v place_v in_o a_o call_n and_o there_o be_v not_o one_o of_o we_o high_a nor_o low_a but_o we_o be_v bear_v to_o do_v some_o thing_n then_o if_o the_o son_n of_o god_n equal_a with_o god_n have_v a_o call_n of_o his_o father_n seek_v to_o glorify_v god_n so_o let_v we_o also_o in_o word_n and_o deed_n
