the_o retribution_n of_o reward_n consider_v the_o merit_n of_o man_n and_o according_a to_o the_o diversity_n of_o merit_n he_o assign_v the_o mansion_n of_o eternal_a life_n this_o argument_n if_o it_o shall_v conclude_v the_o question_n must_v thus_o be_v frame_v if_o god_n do_v render_v to_o man_n the_o reward_n of_o eternal_a life_n neither_o without_o their_o merit_n nor_o great_a reward_n to_o less_o nor_o less_o to_o great_a merit_n than_o god_n in_o the_o retribution_n of_o reward_n consider_v the_o merit_n of_o man_n and_o consequent_o the_o good_a work_n of_o the_o faithful_a be_v meritorious_a of_o eternal_a life_n but_o the_o antecedent_n be_v true_a therefore_o the_o consequent_a the_o assumption_n he_o prove_v because_o the_o contrary_n be_v repugnant_a to_o distributive_a justice_n thus_o therefore_o he_o prove_v it_o if_o god_n do_v render_v reward_n to_o man_n without_o their_o merit_n or_o great_a reward_n to_o less_o merit_n or_o less_o reward_n to_o great_a merit_n then_o be_v he_o a_o unjust_a judge_n and_o a_o accepter_n of_o person_n which_o god_n forbid_v but_o god_n be_v a_o righteous_a judge_n and_o no_o accepter_n of_o person_n as_o be_v prove_v by_o the_o testimony_n allege_v therefore_o he_o do_v not_o render_v to_o man_n reward_n without_o their_o merit_n neither_o do_v he_o give_v great_a reward_n to_o less_o nor_o less_o reward_n to_o great_a merit_n answ._n i_o deny_v the_o assumption_n of_o the_o former_a syllogism_n and_o the_o proposition_n of_o the_o second_o the_o assumption_n be_v that_o god_n do_v not_o render_v to_o man_n reward_n of_o eternal_a life_n without_o their_o merit_n etc._n etc._n for_o that_o god_n do_v give_v the_o reward_n of_o eternal_a life_n to_o some_o at_o the_o least_o without_o their_o merit_n it_o be_v evident_a in_o the_o elect_a infant_n who_o have_v no_o merit_n of_o their_o own_o be_v save_v only_o by_o the_o merit_n of_o christ._n and_o the_o like_a be_v to_o be_v say_v of_o all_o other_o believer_n for_o who_o our_o saviour_n by_o his_o merit_n have_v purchase_v everlasting_a life_n therefore_o that_o assumption_n be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v true_a that_o the_o contrary_a thereof_o be_v always_o true_a viz._n that_o god_n do_v give_v the_o reward_n of_o eternal_a life_n as_o his_o free_a gift_n to_o all_o that_o be_v save_v without_o any_o merit_n of_o they_o neither_o be_v there_o any_o other_o merit_n of_o eternal_a life_n but_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v more_o than_o sufficient_a for_o all_o that_o believe_v the_o proposition_n of_o the_o prosyllogisme_n have_v two_o branch_n in_o both_o the_o part_n thereof_o of_o both_o which_o i_o deny_v the_o consequence_n for_o as_o touch_v the_o first_o although_o god_n do_v render_v to_o man_n the_o reward_n of_o eternal_a life_n without_o their_o merit_n yet_o he_o be_v not_o a_o unjust_a judge_n for_o though_o they_o have_v no_o merit_n of_o their_o own_o yet_o they_o have_v the_o all-sufficient_a satisfaction_n and_o the_o infinite_a merit_n of_o christ_n unto_o which_o eternal_a life_n be_v in_o justice_n due_a for_o the_o second_o although_o the_o lord_n shall_v give_v great_a reward_n to_o less_o office_n and_o grace_n and_o less_o to_o great_a yet_o be_v he_o not_o unjust_a nor_o a_o accepter_n of_o person_n for_o by_o the_o parable_n of_o the_o workman_n mat._n
