sure_a to_o they_o rom._n 4.16_o before_o we_o pass_v to_o the_o ten_o and_o last_o particular_a from_o the_o doctrine_n of_o election_n hitherto_o open_v we_o may_v take_v notice_n of_o two_o or_o

impossibility_n of_o god_n foreknowledge_n thereof_o 3._o temporary_a election_n and_o reprobation_n 1._o for_o the_o first_o it_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o the_o liberty_n of_o man_n will_n according_a to_o their_o doctrine_n that_o god_n shall_v in_o the_o call_v of_o a_o sinner_n determine_v his_o will_n by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n so_o as_o that_o it_o can_v come_v to_o pass_v but_o the_o sinner_n shall_v obey_v his_o call_v and_o for_o perseverance_n in_o the_o grace_n of_o his_o call_v the_o liberty_n of_o man_n will_n require_v say_v they_o that_o when_o god_n have_v do_v all_o that_o he_o do_v for_o any_o yet_o may_v man_n for_o the_o issue_n not_o persevere_v hence_o it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o all_o be_v at_o mere_a peradventure_o whether_o any_o one_o of_o all_o the_o son_n and_o daughter_n of_o man_n shall_v be_v save_v or_o not_o whether_o ever_o there_o shall_v have_v be_v any_o militant_a church_n upon_o earth_n or_o triumphant_a in_o heaven_n or_o not_o whether_o christ_n shall_v have_v take_v our_o nature_n upon_o he_o his_o office_n have_v do_v and_o suffer_v all_o in_o vain_a or_o not_o 2._o for_o the_o second_o for_o as_o much_o as_o man_n condition_n both_o for_o grace_v here_o and_o glory_n hereafter_o depend_v upon_o the_o use_n of_o his_o will_n embrace_v or_o resist_v the_o call_v of_o god_n continue_v in_o or_o fall_v from_o the_o grace_n receive_v in_o his_o call_v and_o they_o will_v not_o allow_v that_o god_n shall_v by_o his_o decree_n particular_o determine_v how_o this_o or_o that_o man_n shall_v use_v his_o will_n and_o they_o require_v it_o as_o essential_a to_o the_o liberty_n of_o man_n will_n that_o he_o may_v as_o to_o the_o event_n embrace_v or_o refuse_v the_o motion_n of_o god_n spirit_n whether_o in_o his_o call_n or_o after_o it_o how_o can_v it_o be_v that_o what_o be_v no_o way_n certain_a to_o be_v as_o have_v no_o certain_a foundation_n neither_o in_o god_n nor_o man_n can_v be_v certain_o fore-known_a the_o certain_a foreknowledge_n of_o that_o which_o be_v no_o way_n certain_a and_o determine_v involve_v a_o contradiction_n hence_o they_o be_v wont_v to_o decline_v this_o argument_n of_o god_n foreknowledge_n and_o sometime_o some_o of_o they_o spare_v not_o to_o deny_v it_o 3._o for_o the_o three_o hence_o it_o must_v follow_v that_o the_o election_n of_o any_o person_n can_v be_v till_o the_o last_o moment_n of_o life_n the_o reprobation_n of_o any_o person_n not_o till_o the_o time_n of_o obstinacy_n in_o sin_n for_o they_o make_v faith_n and_o final_a perseverance_n therein_o substrate_v to_o election_n unbelief_n and_o obstinacy_n in_o sin_n substrate_v to_o reprobation_n now_o this_o must_v be_v either_o actual_a or_o in_o the_o foreknowledge_n of_o god_n but_o in_o the_o foreknowledge_n of_o god_n it_o can_v be_v according_a to_o their_o doctrine_n as_o we_o but_o now_o prove_v therefore_o it_o must_v be_v actual_a and_o so_o election_n and_o reprobation_n not_o eternal_a but_o in_o time_n therefore_o no_o decree_n or_o imminent_a act_n of_o god_n hence_o they_o speak_v sometime_o not_o much_o incongruous_o to_o this_o result_n of_o their_o doctrine_n arminius_n tell_v we_o of_o a_o external_a act_n of_o reprobation_n and_o we_o hear_v from_o his_o follower_n and_o those_o of_o great_a note_n that_o election_n be_v not_o
