understanding_n purge_v from_o prejudice_n and_o false_a principle_n 5._o my_o five_o argument_n be_v this_o if_o sin_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o reprobation_n that_o be_v of_o the_o decree_n of_o damnation_n then_o either_o by_o necessity_n of_o nature_n or_o by_o the_o constitution_n of_o god_n not_o by_o necessity_n of_o nature_n as_o all_o that_o hitherto_o i_o have_v know_v confess_v but_o i_o say_v neither_o can_v it_o be_v by_o the_o free_a constitution_n of_o god_n for_o mark_v what_o a_o notorious_a absurdity_n follow_v hence_o and_o that_o avoidable_a namely_o that_o god_n do_v ordain_v that_o upon_o foresight_n of_o sin_n he_o will_v ordain_v they_o to_o damnation_n mark_v it_o well_o god_n do_v ordain_v that_o he_o will_v ordain_v or_o god_n do_v decree_v that_o he_o will_v decree_v in_o which_o word_n god_n eternal_a decree_n be_v make_v the_o object_n of_o god_n decree_n whereas_o it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o the_o object_n of_o god_n decree_n be_v mere_o thing_n temporal_a and_o can_v be_v thing_n eternal_a we_o true_o say_v god_n do_v decree_n to_o create_v the_o world_n to_o preserve_v the_o world_n to_o redeem_v we_o call_v we_o justify_v we_o sanctify_v and_o save_v we_o but_o it_o can_v be_v true_o say_v that_o god_n do_v decree_n to_o decree_n or_o ordain_v to_o ordain_v for_o to_o decree_n be_v the_o act_n of_o god_n will_v and_o therefore_o it_o can_v be_v the_o object_n of_o the_o act_n of_o god_n will_n yet_o these_o argument_n i_o be_o not_o so_o enamour_v with_o as_o to_o force_v the_o interpretation_n of_o scripture_n to_o such_o a_o sense_n as_o be_v suitable_a hereunto_o presume_v of_o the_o purity_n of_o my_o understanding_n as_o purge_v from_o prejudice_n and_o false_a principle_n i_o can_v willing_o content_v myself_o with_o observation_n of_o the_o apostle_n discourse_n in_o argue_v to_o this_o effect_n before_o the_o child_n be_v bear_v or_o have_v do_v good_a or_o evil_n it_o be_v say_v the_o elder_a shall_v serve_v the_o young_a therefore_o the_o purpose_n of_o god_n according_a to_o election_n 11._o stand_v not_o of_o work_n in_o like_a manner_n may_v i_o discourse_v before_o the_o child_n be_v bear_v or_o have_v do_v good_a or_o evil_n it_o be_v say_v the_o elder_a shall_v serve_v the_o young_a therefore_o the_o purpose_n of_o god_n concern_v reprobation_n stand_v not_o of_o work_n and_o like_v as_o hence_o it_o be_v infer_v that_o therefore_o election_n stand_v not_o of_o good_a work_n so_o therehence_a may_v i_o infer_v that_o therefore_o reprobation_n stand_v not_o of_o evil_a work_n 6._o if_o sin_n foresee_v be_v the_o cause_n meritorious_a of_o reprobation_n than_o faith_n and_o repentance_n and_o good_a work_n be_v the_o dispose_n cause_n unto_o election_n for_o therefore_o evil_a work_n foresee_v be_v make_v the_o meritorious_a cause_n of_o reprobation_n because_o evil_a work_n exsistent_a be_v the_o meritorious_a cause_n of_o damnation_n and_o if_o this_o be_v true_a then_o also_o because_o faith_n and_o repentance_n and_o good_a work_n be_v the_o dispose_n cause_n unto_o salvation_n then_o by_o the_o same_o force_n of_o reason_n faith_n repentance_n and_o good_a work_n foresee_v must_v be_v the_o dispose_n cause_n unto_o election_n but_o faith_n repentance_n and_o good_a work_n foresee_v be_v not_o the_o dispose_n cause_n unto_o election_n as_o i_o prove_v thus_o 1._o if_o they_o be_v then_o the_o purpose_n of_o god_n according_a to_o election_n shall_v be_v of_o faith_n repentance_n and_o good_a work_n which_o be_v express_o deny_v by_o the_o apostle_n as_o touch_v the_o last_o part_n and_o may_v as_o evident_o be_v prove_v to_o be_v deny_v by_o he_o in_o effect_n of_o the_o other_o part_n also_o by_o the_o same_o force_n of_o argumentation_n which_o he_o use_v as_o for_o example_n from_o this_o anticedent_n of_o the_o apostle_n before_o the_o child_n be_v bear_v or_o have_v do_v good_a or_o evil_n it_o no_o more_o evident_o follow_v that_o therefore_o the_o purpose_n of_o god_n according_a to_o election_n be_v not_o of_o work_n than_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o same_o purpose_n of_o god_n according_a to_o

the_o mere_a pleasure_n of_o his_o will_n than_o it_o can_v be_v say_v that_o faith_n foresee_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o any_o man_n election_n for_o in_o this_o case_n faith_n be_v rather_o the_o
