swallow_v a_o camel_n for_o i_o deny_v the_o creature_n to_o have_v any_o thing_n but_o what_o he_o receive_v of_o god_n and_o boast_v be_v proper_a for_o he_o that_o have_v something_o which_o he_o

this_o objection_n again_o luke_n 17.10_o christ_n tell_v his_o disciple_n do_v he_o that_o have_v nothing_o but_o what_o he_o have_v receive_v and_o do_v nothing_o but_o his_o duty_n have_v no_o

that_o i_o believe_v or_o do_v obey_v ans_fw-fr this_o conclusion_n seem_v very_o strange_a as_o though_o grace_n receive_v be_v no_o grace_n if_o there_o be_v a_o possibility_n in_o the_o receiver_n to_o have_v reject_v resist_v or_o abuse_v it_o when_o it_o be_v manifest_v or_o declare_v again_o whence_o be_v it_o that_o it_o be_v so_o hard_a and_o difficult_a for_o a_o rich_a man_n to_o enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n mark_v 10.23_o for_o if_o god_n do_v so_o work_v in_o man_n both_o to_o will_v and_o to_o do_v that_o they_o be_v altogether_o passive_a as_o man_n general_o conceive_v than_o it_o be_v as_o easy_a for_o a_o rich_a man_n to_o receive_v and_o obey_v the_o gospel_n as_o a_o poor_a man_n for_o as_o david_n speak_v of_o darkness_n that_o it_o hide_v not_o

from_o rom._n 8.11_o than_o riches_n and_o poverty_n be_v both_o alike_o to_o it_o and_o it_o be_v as_o easy_a for_o one_o to_o enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n as_o the_o other_o for_o without_o this_o special_a grace_n say_v they_o not_o the_o common_a and_o ordinary_a mean_n which_o he_o afford_v all_o man_n where_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v we_o may_v as_o well_o raise_v

now_o see_v that_o where_o god_n be_v the_o sole_a agent_n all_o thing_n be_v alike_o easy_a to_o be_v perform_v what_o life_n remain_v there_o in_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n according_a to_o this_o
