wherefore_o in_o his_o family_n the_o oracle_n of_o christ_n be_v only_o resident_a and_o because_o abraham_n father_n terah_n be_v the_o first_o in_o that_o family_n that_o do_v apostate_n from_o

of_o abraham_n in_o christ_n person_n again_o the_o extent_n of_o this_o take_a hold_n reach_v all_o nation_n for_o god_n do_v not_o only_o take_v hold_v of_o the_o humane_a nature_n into_o the_o

of_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n he_o take_v hold_v as_o a_o continue_a act_n of_o the_o universal_a election_n of_o adam_n fall_v mass_n but_o if_o you_o ask_v i_o what_o be_v that_o wrath_n they_o lie_v under_o and_o how_o all_o nation_n but_o one_o become_v heathen_n i_o answer_v it_o be_v when_o jehovah_n look_v down_o from_o heaven_n upon_o the_o child_n of_o man_n to_o see_v if_o there_o be_v any_o that_o do_v understand_v and_o seek_v god_n and_o see_v that_o they_o be_v all_o go_v out_o of_o the_o way_n and_o all_o corrupt_a and_o abominable_a which_o make_v god_n wrath_n with_o they_o under_o which_o wrath_n they_o then_o lay_v if_o you_o ask_v i_o when_o this_o be_v god_n come_v down_o to_o see_v i_o answer_v it_o be_v when_o jehovah_n come_v down_o to_o see_v the_o city_n of_o babel_n and_o the_o tower_n that_o the_o offspring_n of_o noah_n be_v build_v in_o the_o plain_a of_o shinor_n for_o then_o and_o there_o he_o confound_v their_o language_n and_o so_o scatter_v

the_o judgement_n of_o the_o great_a day_n and_o our_o lord_n say_v for_o they_o be_v prepare_v everlasting_a fire_n therefore_o these_o angel_n stand_v reject_v by_o god_n for_o ever_o from_o the_o say_v good_a to_o the_o contrary_a evil_n three_o the_o ground_n of_o that_o rejection_n be_v name_v in_o the_o forecited_n text_n namely_o sin_n for_o the_o text_n say_v god_n spare_v not_o the_o

have_v say_v the_o devil_n be_v a_o murderer_n from_o the_o beginning_n he_o also_o say_v and_o abide_v not_o in_o the_o truth_n therefore_o the_o ground_n of_o their_o rejection_n be_v sin_n 8.44_o

therefore_o so_o in_o his_o operation_n five_o in_o a_o word_n the_o law_n they_o have_v and_o transgress_v be_v no_o more_o but_o this_o namely_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n that_o be_v their_o

ground_n our_o lord_n allege_v the_o same_o law_n that_o god_n give_v to_o man_n against_o they_o because_o they_o be_v his_o creature_n aswell_o as_o man_n say_v it_o be_v write_v thou_o shall_v

in_o kind_n yet_o with_o this_o difference_n in_o man_n imperfect_a otherwise_o man_n can_v not_o do_v the_o thing_n by_o nature_n contain_v in_o the_o law_n have_v not_o the_o law_n as_o before_o be_v prove_v six_o the_o ground_n why_o and_o to_o what_o god_n elect_v they_o that_o stand_v to_o more_o than_o what_o they_o have_v together_o with_o the_o rest_n before_o they_o fall_v be_v this_o 4.18_o job_n 4.18_o before_o the_o fall_n they_o be_v all_o alike_o unstable_a in_o that_o estate_n according_a to_o that_o in_o job_n he_o find_v not_o steadfastness_n in_o his_o angel_n the_o reason_n be_v because_o of_o the_o contingent_a event_n that_o may_v arise_v to_o they_o all_o be_v include_v in_o the_o natural_a liberty_n of_o their_o will_n from_o whence_o they_o all_o alike_o may_v refuse_v or_o choose_v to_o give_v their_o maker_n his_o glory_n due_a unto_o he_o or_o may_v choose_v or_o refuse_v to_o assume_v his_o glory_n unto_o themselves_o because_o the_o natural_a liberty_n of_o the_o will_n in_o man_n and_o angel_n consist_v in_o this_o as_o be_v say_v namely_o to_o choose_v or_o refuse_v all_o object_n as_o it_o like_v or_o as_o it_o like_v they_o not_o therefore_o their_o estate_n stand_v all_o alike_o contingent_a for_o the_o future_a to_o stand_v in_o it_o or_o to_o fall_v from_o it_o therefore_o because_o these_o angel_n do_v voluntary_o refuse_v to_o assume_v god_n glory_n to_o themselves_o and_o do_v choose_v to_o render_v the_o sole_a glory_n of_o all_o they_o have_v to_o he_o in_o all_o their_o strength_n therefore_o this_o be_v the_o ground_n why_o god_n elect_v they_o for_o as_o certain_o as_o god_n reject_v the_o other_o for_o reject_v his_o glory_n due_a unto_o he_o as_o be_v prove_v so_o certain_o he_o elect_v these_o angel_n to_o a_o establishment_n in_o their_o choice_n namely_o so_o to_o render_v he_o glory_n to_o eternity_n as_o a_o reward_n of_o their_o labour_n of_o love_n consequent_o to_o be_v bless_v to_o eternity_n because_o they_o may_v refuse_v so_o to_o do_v as_o do_v the_o other_o thus_o god_n do_v render_v to_o all_o the_o angel_n according_a to_o their_o work_n good_a or_o bad_a some_o to_o honour_n some_o to_o dishonour_n and_o so_o accomplish_v his_o final_a end_n on_o they_o all_o to_o eternity_n and_o because_o this_o final_a execution_n have_v thus_o pass_v upon_o they_o all_o it_o follow_v that_o as_o the_o reject_a angel_n can_v never_o will_v to_o render_v glory_n to_o god_n as_o once_o they_o may_v before_o they_o abuse_v it_o because_o by_o the_o justice_n of_o that_o execution_n god_n do_v deny_v they_o any_o influence_n or_o efflux_n from_o he_o to_o they_o to_o convey_v or_o continue_v any_o good_a in_o they_o more_o than_o to_o be_v that_o they_o may_v eternal_o be_v to_o be_v eternal_o miserable_a so_o on_o the_o contrary_a by_o the_o same_o execution_n there_o flow_v a_o continual_a influence_n from_o god_n to_o the_o elect_a angel_n to_o keep_v and_o support_v they_o in_o the_o say_a choice_n to_o render_v he_o his_o sole_a glory_n to_o eternity_n which_o indeed_o be_v their_o blessedness_n for_o ever_o for_o the_o service_n of_o god_n be_v perfect_a freedom_n to_o man_n and_o angel_n objection_n if_o the_o working_n of_o man_n and_o angel_n be_v a_o move_a cause_n to_o god_n thus_o to_o reject_v or_o elect_v they_o than_o the_o move_a cause_n be_v not_o in_o or_o from_o god_n himself_o but_o from_o cause_n extrinsical_a which_o can_v be_v i_o answer_v it_o be_v true_a and_o so_o it_o be_v in_o this_o case_n because_o he_o be_v move_v to_o work_v all_o thing_n not_o according_a to_o their_o work_n but_o after_o the_o council_n of_o his_o own_o will_n as_o he_o purpose_v in_o himself_o that_o be_v to_o propound_v this_o his_o final_a end_n and_o all_o the_o mean_n suitable_a to_o accomplish_v it_o from_o whence_o issue_v forth_o the_o creation_n of_o man_n and_o angel_n in_o their_o natural_a liberty_n of_o their_o will_n that_o so_o the_o event_n of_o the_o operation_n of_o man_n and_o angel_n may_v be_v contingent_a that_o from_o thence_o may_v arise_v their_o work_n good_a and_o bad_a and_o according_o to_o be_v
