and_o have_v deliver_v they_o from_o the_o power_n of_o darkness_n transport_v they_o into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o his_o son_n to_o the_o end_n that_o they_o shall_v declare_v the_o virtue_n of_o he_o

witness_v in_o divers_a &_o sundry_a place_n xi_o moreover_o when_o god_n execute_v this_o his_o good_a pleasure_n in_o the_o elect_n or_o when_o he_o convert_v they_o he_o do_v not_o only_o procure_v that_o the_o gospel_n be_v outward_o preach_v neither_o only_o mighty_o enlighten_v their_o understanding_n by_o the_o holy_a spirit_n to_o make_v they_o understande_v and_o discern_v aright_o the_o

the_o power_n of_o man_n to_o be_v regenerate_v or_o not_o to_o be_v to_o be_v or_o not_o to_o be_v convert_v no_o it_o be_v a_o operation_n whole_o supernatural_a most_o effectual_a and_o withal_o most_o sweet_a admirable_a secret_a and_o ineffable_a which_o according_a to_o the_o scripture_n that_o be_v inspire_v by_o the_o author_n of_o this_o operation_n in_o respect_n of_o efficacy_n be_v nothing_o inferior_a to_o creation_n or_o the_o resurrection_n from_o the_o dead_a so_o as_o all_o they_o in_o who_o heart_n god_n work_v after_o this_o admirable_a fashion_n be_v certain_o

god_n it_o work_v also_o itself_o and_o therefore_o one_o may_v well_o say_v that_o man_n himself_o believe_v and_o repent_v by_o mean_n of_o the_o grace_n which_o he_o have_v receive_v xiii_o the_o

that_o by_o this_o grace_n of_o god_n they_o do_v from_o their_o heart_n believe_v and_o love_v their_o saviour_n xiiii_o so_o then_o faith_n be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n not_o because_o it_o be_v offer_v by_o god_n to_o man_n free_a will_n but_o because_o it_o be_v in_o deed_n and_o in_o effect_n confer_v inspire_v and_o infuse_v into_o man_n again_o not_o because_o god_n give_v only_o a_o power_n to_o believe_v and_o then_o afterward_o expect_v that_o man_n will_v consent_v thereunto_o or_o believe_v indeed_o but_o because_o he_o which_o work_v both_o to_o will_v and_o to_o do_v yea_o which_o work_v all_o in_o all_o effect_v in_o man_n both_o a_o will_v to_o believe_v and_o belief_n itself_o xv._o god_n owe_v not_o this_o grace_n to_o any_o for_o what_o may_v he_o owe_v to_o he_o that_o can_v give_v nothing_o first_o that_o it_o may_v be_v repay_v he_o again_o yea_o what_o can_v he_o owe_v to_o he_o that_o have_v nothing_o of_o his_o own_o but_o sin_n and_o lease_v wherefore_o he_o that_o receive_v this_o grace_n aught_o yea_o and_o do_v also_o yield_v eternal_a thanks_o to_o god_n for_o it_o he_o that_o receive_v it_o not_o either_o he_o have_v no_o regard_n of_o these_o spiritual_a thing_n and_o please_v himself_o in_o that_o which_o be_v his_o own_o or_o reckless_a as_o he_o be_v boast_v in_o vain_a of_o have_v that_o which_o he_o have_v not_o now_o concern_v those_o which_o outward_o make_v profession_n of_o the_o faith_n and_o amend_v their_o life_n we_o must_v both_o judge_v and_o speak_v the_o best_a according_a to_o the_o example_n of_o the_o apostle_n for_o what_o be_v in_o their_o heart_n be_v to_o we_o unknown_a and_o for_o other_o which_o be_v not_o yet_o call_v we_o be_v to_o pray_v unto_o god_n who_o call_v thing_n that_o be_v not_o as_o if_o they_o be_v but_o in_o no_o hand_n may_v we_o swell_n with_o pride_n against_o they_o as_o if_o we_o ourselves_o have_v make_v ourselves_o to_o differ_v xvi_o now_o as_o by_o the_o fall_n man_n cease_v not_o to_o be_v man_n endue_v with_o will_n and_o understanding_n and_o sin_n that_o overspread_v all_o mankind_n abolish_v not_o the_o nature_n of_o mankind_n but_o deprave_v it_o

and_o its_o property_n nor_o force_n or_o constrain_v it_o against_o its_o own_o like_n but_o spiritual_o enliven_v heal_v correct_v and_o bow_v it_o no_o less_o sweet_o then_o mighty_o to_o the_o end_n that_o where_o former_o the_o rebellion_n &_o resistance_n of_o the_o flesh_n do_v whole_o domineer_v now_o the_o prompt_a and_o sincere_a obedience_n of_o the_o spirit_n may_v begin_v there_o to_o reign_v in_o which_o very_a point_n the_o true_a and_o spiritual_a reestablishment_n &_o freedom_n of_o our_o will_n consist_v and_o be_v it_o not_o that_o this_o admirable_a worker_n of_o all_o good_a do_v ply_v we_o in_o manner_n aforesaid_a there_o be_v no_o hope_n leave_v unto_o man_n that_o he_o shall_v raise_v himself_o out_o of_o the_o fall_n by_o free_a will_n by_o which_o when_o he_o stand_v upright_o he_o throw_v himself_o headlong_o into_o perdition_n xvii_o also_o as_o the_o almighty_a operation_n of_o god_n whereby_o he_o produce_v and_o sustain_v this_o our_o natural_a life_n exclude_v not_o but_o rather_o require_v the_o use_n of_o the_o mean_n by_o which_o god_n according_a to_o his_o infinite_a wisdom_n and_o goodness_n be_v please_v to_o display_v this_o his_o power_n even_o so_o the_o foresay_a supernatural_a operation_n of_o god_n by_o which_o he_o regenerate_v we_o exclude_v not_o nor_o any_o way_n overthrow_v the_o use_n of_o the_o gospel_n which_o the_o all_o wise_a god_n have_v ordain_v to_o be_v the_o seed_n of_o regeneration_n and_o the_o food_n of_o the_o soul_n wherefore_o as_o the_o apostle_n and_o doctor_n which_o follow_v they_o do_v pious_o
