but_o still_o you_o take_v offence_n at_o the_o contrariety_n of_o the_o two_o will_n you_o say_v there_o be_v a_o impossibility_n for_o adam_n to_o serve_v two_o master_n especial_o when_o one_o command_v he_o to_o stand_v by_o a_o reveal_v will_n and_o the_o other_o have_v determine_v the_o fall_n by_o his_o secret_a will_n at_o the_o same_o time_n unless_o he_o can_v serve_v the_o one_o in_o the_o forenoon_n ☞_o ☞_o the_o other_o in_o the_o afternoon_n and_o yet_o further_o to_o amplify_v the_o difficulty_n you_o say_v the_o secret_a will_n be_v the_o controller_n for_o let_v the_o reveal_v will_v command_v any_o thing_n we_o be_v to_o centre_n in_o the_o determination_n of_o the_o secret_a and_o then_o you_o pathetical_o call_v upon_o man_n to_o bewail_v the_o time_n that_o ever_o be_v have_v a_o be_v in_o this_o world_n because_o he_o be_v sure_a to_o come_v to_o ruin_v which_o will_v soever_o he_o obey_v if_o adam_n do_v obey_v the_o secret_a will_n of_o god_n than_o the_o penalty_n inflict_v by_o the_o reveal_v will_n will_v fall_v upon_o he_o and_o then_o you_o conclude_v in_o these_o word_n may_v we_o not_o say_v farewell_n all_o hope_n of_o another_o life_n and_o so_o hang_v down_o our_o head_n cry_v out_o alas_o we_o be_v undo_v our_o leader_n be_v not_o agree_v for_o what_o the_o one_o say_v do_v the_o other_o determine_v that_o he_o shall_v not_o do_v and_o much_o more_o you_o have_v to_o the_o same_o effect_n page_n 80._o but_o all_o may_v be_v answer_v in_o a_o few_o word_n we_o plain_o affirm_v in_o matter_n of_o obedience_n man_n have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o the_o secret_a will_n of_o god_n according_a to_o that_o determination_n secret_a thing_n belong_v to_o god_n but_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v reveal_v belong_v to_o we_o and_o to_o our_o child_n for_o ever_o that_o we_o may_v do_v the_o word_n of_o this_o law_n deut._n 29.29_o this_o also_o be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n that_o man_n shall_v not_o meddle_v with_o predestination_n and_o election_n but_o those_o only_o who_o have_v the_o fruit_n of_o election_n who_o be_v call_v justify_v and_o sanctify_v for_o the_o ordinary_a sort_n of_o man_n they_o only_o be_v to_o look_v at_o the_o general_a threat_n that_o they_o may_v be_v humble_v and_o to_o the_o general_a promise_n that_o you_o may_v believe_v artic_a 17._o and_o so_o in_o the_o particular_a case_n of_o adam_n we_o say_v that_o he_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o the_o secret_a will_n of_o god_n concern_v the_o permission_n of_o the_o fall_n his_o duty_n only_o be_v to_o look_v to_o the_o command_n that_o be_v the_o cynosure_n or_o only_o rule_v which_o he_o be_v to_o be_v guide_v by_o and_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o we_o all_o to_o do_v that_o which_o the_o lord_n command_v and_o to_o rest_v upon_o he_o to_o make_v our_o leader_n to_o agree_v it_o do_v not_o appertain_v to_o you_o nor_o i_o nor_o any_o man_n live_v to_o make_v a_o reconciliation_n betwixt_o these_o two_o will_n in_o their_o seem_a difference_n let_v we_o keep_v the_o ordinary_a path_n but_o if_o you_o will_v say_v that_o the_o secret_a will_n be_v that_o which_o do_v prevail_v though_o this_o do_v prove_v true_a in_o the_o event_n yet_o nevertheless_o the_o reveal_v will_n of_o god_n be_v the_o only_a rule_n or_o cannon_n which_o we_o must_v walk_v by_o as_o for_o example_n the_o lord_n in_o his_o reveal_v will_n require_v abraham_n to_o offer_v up_o his_o son_n isaac_n in_o sacrifice_n when_o in_o his_o secret_n will_v he_o have_v decree_v that_o isaac_n shall_v not_o be_v sacrifice_v if_o we_o go_v to_o the_o event_n the_o secret_a will_n be_v the_o more_o preponderate_v and_o prevail_a will_n of_o the_o twain_o though_o it_o be_v yet_o the_o obedience_n of_o abraham_n have_v its_o special_a testimony_n in_o this_o that_o he_o have_v regard_n to_o the_o reveal_v will_n of_o god_n gen._n 22.2_o 12._o so_o in_o the_o case_n of_o hezekiah_n the_o prophet_n be_v send_v with_o a_o message_n to_o he_o set_v thy_o house_n in_o order_n for_o thou_o shall_v die_v and_o not_o live_v isa_n 38.2_o and_o yet_o we_o find_v that_o the_o lord_n in_o his_o secret_a will_n have_v decree_v that_o he_o shall_v not_o die_v at_o that_o time_n fifteen_o year_n more_o be_v add_v to_o the_o day_n of_o his_o life_n in_o the_o present_a case_n then_o though_o the_o secret_a will_n do_v carry_v the_o sway_n yet_o the_o commendation_n of_o the_o obedience_n of_o hezekiah_n do_v lie_v in_o give_v assent_n to_o the_o threaten_n of_o god_n denounce_v by_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o prophet_n though_o the_o denunciation_n be_v mere_o conditional_a speak_v only_o in_o relation_n to_o second_o cause_n thou_o shall_v die_v of_o the_o present_a disease_n unless_o thou_o humble_v thyself_o and_o by_o fervent_a prayer_n seek_v the_o face_n of_o god_n though_o this_o declaration_n of_o the_o will_n of_o god_n do_v imply_v a_o condition_n yet_o because_o it_o be_v the_o will_n declare_v and_o outward_o reveal_v to_o hezekiah_n he_o be_v to_o have_v respect_n to_o this_o only_a he_o be_v not_o whatsoever_o you_o suggest_v to_o the_o contrary_a at_o a_o dilemma_n or_o strait_n which_o of_o these_o two_o will_n ought_v to_o be_v obey_v he_o never_o lament_v the_o day_n of_o his_o birth_n because_o his_o leader_n be_v not_o agree_v he_o never_o fault_v the_o contrariety_n of_o the_o two_o will_n that_o the_o reveal_v will_n shall_v say_v thou_o shall_v die_v and_o the_o secret_a will_v imply_v thou_o shall_v live_v what_o god_n have_v reveal_v concern_v his_o present_a death_n he_o do_v believe_v the_o sentence_n outward_o make_v know_v to_o he_o as_o for_o god_n secret_a decree_n he_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o that_o which_o do_v mere_o lie_v hide_v in_o god_n we_o read_v indeed_o after_o his_o humiliation_n when_o the_o lord_n have_v make_v know_v so_o much_o of_o his_o secret_a purpose_n that_o he_o will_v add_v fifteen_o year_n more_o to_o the_o day_n of_o his_o life_n than_o he_o be_v bind_v to_o believe_v and_o to_o live_v in_o faith_n of_o that_o particular_a promise_n which_o be_v make_v i_o may_v go_v further_o with_o

his_o secret_a will_n or_o absolute_a decree_n the_o lord_n have_v not_o purpose_v that_o nineveh_n shall_v be_v destroy_v but_o that_o that_o people_n shall_v escape_v by_o true_a repentance_n at_o that_o time_n though_o the_o secret_a will_n do_v prevail_v or_o to_o use_v your_o language_n be_v the_o will_n that_o do_v control_v yet_o for_o the_o time_n be_v the_o ninevite_n have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o the_o will_n of_o decree_n no_o further_o than_o this_o who_o can_v tell_v whether_o the_o lord_n will_v return_v from_o his_o fierce_a anger_n verse_n 9_o the_o will_n which_o they_o be_v immediate_o to_o believe_v be_v the_o sentence_n denounce_v by_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o prophet_n they_o be_v bind_v to_o believe_v that_o their_o sin_n be_v so_o great_a that_o they_o do_v

the_o reveal_v will_n of_o god_n and_o their_o tremble_n at_o his_o word_n be_v one_o principal_a mean_a to_o bring_v about_o his_o secret_a will_n and_o what_o he_o have_v decree_v in_o his_o
