A58149	Gerizim and Ebal (Election and reprobation), or, The absolute good pleasure of Gods most holy will to all the sons of Adam, specificated viz. to vessels of mercy in their eternal election, and to vessels of wrath in their eternal reprobation : being an answer to a spurious pamphlet lately crept into the world, which was fathered by Thomas Tazwell : wherein the texts of Scripture by him are perverted and vindicated, his corrupt glosses brought to light and purged, his shuffling and ambiguous dealing discovered, and the truth in all fully cleared / by James Rawson ...

that_o be_v in_o all_o thing_n in_o a_o equal_a condition_n he_o repulse_v this_o objection_n as_o most_o absurd_a say_v god_n forbid_v and_o withal_o he_o aggravate_v his_o protestation_n against_o

the_o same_o absolute_a sovereignty_n be_v likewise_o ratify_v by_o the_o example_n of_o pharaoh_n in_o who_o there_o be_v such_o a_o series_n and_o concatenation_n of_o act_n of_o the_o divine_a

say_v who_o he_o will_v he_o harden_v may_v conclude_v that_o the_o apostle_n doctrine_n lead_v to_o a_o absurdity_n for_o if_o it_o must_v be_v so_o how_o can_v it_o be_v that_o god_n can_v just_o complain_v of_o those_o which_o be_v harden_v and_o so_o of_o those_o who_o be_v reprobate_v when_o they_o do_v sin_n how_o may_v it_o be_v say_v can_v god_n complain_v and_o that_o for_o a_o double_a reason_n first_o because_o those_o who_o be_v harden_v or_o reprobate_v when_o they_o sin_n they_o do_v only_o such_o thing_n as_o god_n do_v will_n to_o permit_v by_o they_o to_o be_v do_v second_o because_o those_o who_o be_v so_o reprobate_v and_o harden_v they_o can_v do_v no_o other_o than_o thus_o sin_n if_o that_o unto_o that_o purpose_n they_o be_v so_o harden_v and_o reprobate_v now_o both_o of_o these_o thing_n be_v very_o true_a neither_o do_v the_o apostle_n deny_v either_o of_o they_o but_o that_o which_o humane_a reason_n do_v infer_v from_o thence_o viz._n that_o therefore_o
