contain_v in_o the_o word_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n yet_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o blindness_n of_o man_n understanding_n and_o the_o backwardness_n and_o forwardness_n of_o his_o will_n

to_o redeem_v and_o save_v us._n see_v therefore_o that_o christ_n as_o we_o have_v say_v before_o out_o of_o augustine_n be_v the_o head_n of_o all_o those_o that_o be_v predestinate_a and_o that_o

doctrine_n of_o predestination_n shall_v be_v the_o matter_n of_o desperation_n especial_o see_v that_o salvation_n which_o it_o bring_v with_o it_o and_o bestow_v upon_o we_o be_v altogether_o of_o free_a gift_n but_o if_o that_o our_o salvation_n be_v to_o be_v merit_v and_o get_v by_o our_o own_o ability_n or_o work_n then_o sure_o a_o man_n may_v fear_v certain_a and_o present_a danger_n of_o desperation_n for_o we_o be_v all_o sinner_n and_o not_o able_a to_o fulfil_v the_o least_o tittle_n of_o the_o law_n much_o less_o can_v we_o make_v satisfaction_n for_o our_o sin_n and_o redeem_v ourselves_o from_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n and_o the_o power_n of_o satan_n moreover_o although_o we_o be_v perfect_a at_o this_o day_n yet_o we_o can_v by_o no_o mean_n satisfy_v for_o the_o sin_n that_o we_o have_v commit_v already_o for_o sin_n do_v most_o grievous_o offend_v god_n and_o deserve_v his_o wrath_n and_o his_o curse_n and_o eternal_a damnation_n which_o no_o creature_n as_o it_o be_v bare_o a_o creature_n can_v turn_v away_o or_o put_v off_o for_o the_o wrath_n and_o curse_n of_o god_n be_v infinite_a and_o not_o to_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o angel_n themselves_o without_o all_o doubt_n in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o predestination_n a_o man_n ought_v to_o be_v in_o despair_n and_o yet_o to_o hope_v well_o concern_v himself_o and_o his_o own_o merit_n whereby_o to_o attain_v salvation_n he_o ought_v to_o be_v in_o great_a despair_n because_o that_o by_o this_o mean_v he_o shall_v never_o come_v unto_o salvation_n but_o concern_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n which_o be_v by_o all_o mean_v free_a he_o ought_v to_o be_v in_o very_o good_a hope_n especial_o see_v that_o god_n do_v more_o willing_o afford_v and_o bestow_v salvation_n upon_o man_n then_o miserable_a man_n can_v require_v or_o wish_v that_o salvation_n may_v be_v impart_v or_o bestow_v upon_o he_o for_o god_n for_o his_o unspeakable_a goodness_n sake_n do_v make_v man_n earnest_a and_o desirous_a of_o his_o salvation_n which_o be_v a_o enemy_n of_o his_o salvation_n also_o god_n do_v prevent_v a_o man_n and_o seek_v he_o out_o man_n seek_v not_o for_o god_n but_o hate_v he_o extreme_o and_o do_v dread_a and_o shun_v he_o as_o a_o terrible_a judge_n therefore_o in_o this_o work_n of_o salvation_n the_o grace_n of_o god_n be_v so_o great_a as_o that_o it_o can_v be_v say_v to_o be_v great_a therefore_o there_o arise_v no_o desperation_n at_o all_o out_o of_o this_o doctrine_n of_o election_n if_o it_o be_v well_o and_o true_o understand_v and_o according_a to_o the_o meaning_n expound_v but_o contrariwise_o great_a consolation_n come_v there_o from_o which_o if_o it_o be_v well_o teach_v unto_o man_n and_o diligent_o insist_v upon_o a_o admirable_a trust_n and_o confidence_n in_o god_n and_o a_o most_o certain_a hope_n of_o salvation_n proceed_v and_o come_v out_o of_o it_o therefore_o have_v god_n appoint_v the_o holy_a ministry_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o man_n may_v diligent_o be_v inform_v of_o his_o so_o great_a mercy_n also_o he_o will_v that_o admonition_n and_o threaten_n shall_v be_v draw_v from_o thence_o and_o be_v propound_v unto_o man_n for_o they_o be_v certain_a mean_n by_o which_o god_n be_v powerful_a and_o expel_v all_o drowsiness_n from_o his_o child_n and_o strike_v in_o they_o a_o serious_a fear_n and_o reverence_n of_o himself_o so_o god_n by_o this_o mean_n do_v bring_v man_n unto_o salvation_n ordain_v for_o they_o from_o everlasting_a they_o therefore_o which_o suppose_v that_o the_o course_n of_o a_o good_a
