be_v a_o act_n of_o his_o mere_a mercy_n he_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o it_o by_o any_o rule_n of_o distributive_a justice_n and_o if_o he_o hate_v esan_n that_o be_v if_o he_o do_v not_o love_v he_o with_o that_o peculiar_a love_n infallible_o to_o bring_v he_o to_o salvation_n he_o have_v no_o obligation_n upon_o he_o he_o may_v do_v with_o his_o own_o as_o he_o please_v his_o purpose_n be_v in_o the_o salvation_n of_o the_o elect_a to_o magnify_v the_o riches_n of_o his_o grace_n as_o in_o the_o condemnation_n of_o the_o non-elect_a to_o set_v forth_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o justice_n but_o let_v we_o more_o attentive_o consider_v the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n what_o if_o god_n willing_a to_o show_v his_o wrath_n and_o to_o make_v his_o power_n know_v endure_v with_o much_o long-suffering_a vessel_n of_o wrath_n fit_v for_o destruction_n rom._n 9.23_o camero_n upon_o the_o place_n have_v this_o good_a observation_n which_o difference_n say_v he_o the_o apostle_n have_v prudent_o note_v for_o when_o be_v do_v discourse_n concern_v they_o who_o god_n have_v call_v he_o do_v use_v these_o word_n who_o he_o have_v before_o prepare_v to_o glory_n to_o wit_n that_o he_o may_v here_o decipher_v the_o effectual_a work_n of_o god_n but_o when_o he_o do_v speak_v of_o they_o who_o he_o do_v not_o call_v he_o do_v not_o say_v that_o they_o be_v such_o vessel_n which_o god_n have_v before_o prepare_v but_o simple_o vessel_n prepare_v and_o fit_v according_a to_o that_o say_n thy_o destruction_n be_v of_o thyself_o o_o israel_n upon_o these_o ground_n we_o do_v conclude_v in_o matter_n of_o election_n and_o nonelection_n there_o can_v be_v no_o respect_n of_o person_n with_o god_n for_o the_o elect_n be_v save_v mere_o by_o grace_n and_o the_o non-elect_a be_v damn_v and_o cast_v away_o just_o for_o their_o sin_n nay_o for_o the_o slight_n neglect_v and_o most_o wilful_a abuse_n of_o the_o patience_n and_o long-suffering_a of_o god_n and_o the_o voluntary_a harden_v themselves_o in_o sin_n reas_n 6._o further_o you_o argue_v if_o god_n be_v simple_o the_o worker_n of_o obedient_a action_n in_o man_n or_o for_o man_n as_o be_v do_v with_o other_o creature_n than_o there_o be_v no_o use_n for_o repentance_n the_o ground_n of_o that_o work_n be_v whole_o prevent_v for_o shall_v they_o repent_v because_o god_n have_v not_o act_v it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o to_o repent_v because_o god_n have_v make_v no_o more_o world_n pag._n 60._o answ_n this_o argument_n of_o you_o if_o it_o be_v right_o apply_v will_v be_v of_o good_a moment_n against_o that_o kind_n of_o man_n who_o be_v for_o enthusiasm_n for_o if_o it_o be_v a_o good_a reason_n to_o affirm_v that_o there_o be_v no_o more_o world_n in_o be_v because_o god_n have_v make_v no_o more_o the_o reason_n must_v be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o according_a to_o their_o doctrine_n such_o and_o such_o a_o man_n do_v not_o repent_v because_o god_n do_v not_o work_v repentance_n in_o he_o as_o a_o inanimate_a instrument_n for_o our_o part_n we_o plain_o affirm_v that_o though_o god_n do_v work_v repentance_n in_o man_n he_o do_v it_o congruenter_v as_o in_o rational_a and_o intellectual_a creature_n for_o we_o be_v to_o suppose_v that_o man_n have_v principle_n to_o act_v they_o and_o therefore_o when_o the_o lord_n do_v enable_v they_o to_o repent_v they_o have_v power_n to_o turn_v from_o their_o evil_a way_n in_o this_o case_n as_o repentance_n be_v god_n gift_n so_o it_o be_v man_n act_n man_n do_v free_o repent_v by_o the_o power_n of_o grace_n receive_v many_o also_o voluntary_o do_v harden_v their_o own_o heart_n in_o neglect_v of_o that_o grace_n which_o shall_v bring_v they_o to_o repentance_n from_o all_o which_o we_o do_v conclude_v that_o obedient_a action_n do_v belong_v to_o man_n as_o the_o power_n ability_n and_o grace_n be_v whole_o from_o god_n we_o will_v go_v on_o &_o consider_v the_o scripture_n which_o you_o do_v pervert_v to_o a_o contrary_a sense_n to_o begin_v therefore_o with_o that_o place_n of_o the_o apostle_n work_v out_o your_o salvation_n with_o fear_n and_o tremble_a for_o it_o be_v god_n that_o work_v in_o you_o the_o will_n and_o the_o deed_n here_o say_v you_o if_o god_n do_v work_v the_o will_n and_o the_o deed_n what_o be_v here_o leave_v for_o man_n to_o do_v ☞_o ☞_o answ_n such_o a_o good_a proficient_a you_o be_v in_o your_o way_n of_o wrangle_v against_o the_o priest_n as_o you_o call_v they_o that_o now_o at_o last_o you_o be_v come_v to_o except_v against_o the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n do_v he_o not_o say_v in_o plain_a and_o significant_a term_n that_o the_o lord_n do_v work_v in_o we_o the_o will_n and_o the_o deed_n and_o do_v he_o not_o upon_o this_o ground_n exhort_v man_n to_o work_v out_o their_o salvation_n with_o fear_n and_o tremble_a but_o that_o we_o may_v clear_v the_o coherence_n and_o connexion_n of_o the_o text_n we_o will_v note_v three_o thing_n in_o special_a first_o we_o be_v to_o distinguish_v betwixt_o god_n deal_v in_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n and_o his_o deal_n in_o the_o work_n of_o man_n salvation_n for_o his_o deal_n in_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n he_o make_v man_n in_o a_o moment_n of_o time_n but_o for_o the_o work_n of_o salvation_n he_o do_v carry_v it_o on_o step_n by_o step_n again_o in_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n the_o lord_n do_v make_v man_n without_o any_o act_n of_o his_o own_o he_o do_v not_o know_v when_o he_o be_v in_o make_v but_o it_o be_v otherwise_o in_o the_o act_n of_o salvation_n this_o work_n be_v carry_v on_o by_o man_n own_o act_n and_o by_o the_o concurrence_n of_o their_o own_o endeavour_n and_o hereupon_o though_o the_o apostle_n do_v affirm_v that_o god_n do_v work_v the_o will_n and_o the_o deed_n yet_o it_o be_v man_n duty_n also_o to_o work_v out_o their_o own_o salvation_n second_o we_o be_v to_o note_v that_o the_o act_n of_o man_n in_o work_v out_o his_o own_o salvation_n must_v be_v by_o a_o supernatural_a power_n he_o may_v govern_v family_n he_o may_v build_v city_n he_o may_v learn_v art_n and_o science_n without_o the_o communication_n of_o any_o special_a grace_n from_o god_n but_o he_o can_v do_v so_o in_o the_o work_n out_o of_o his_o own_o salvation_n god_n must_v first_o work_v the_o will_n and_o the_o deed_n and_o then_o man_n will_v be_v able_a to_o work_v out_o his_o salvation_n and_o not_o till_o then_o three_o these_o word_n be_v add_v with_o fear_n and_o tremble_a to_o show_v that_o man_n must_v do_v it_o humble_o careful_o and_o with_o dependence_n upon_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n see_v he_o have_v not_o the_o power_n of_o inspiration_n in_o his_o own_o hand_n but_o more_o full_o to_o set_v forth_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o apostle_n we_o will_v cite_v another_o scripture_n which_o be_v parallel_n to_o this_o these_o be_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n in_o the_o wilderness_n behold_v i_o send_v my_o angel_n before_o thou_o to_o keep_v thou_o in_o the_o way_n to_o bring_v thou_o into_o the_o place_n which_o i_o have_v prepare_v beware_v of_o he_o provoke_v he_o not_o for_o he_o will_v not_o pardon_v your_o transgression_n for_o my_o name_n be_v in_o he_o but_o if_o thou_o shall_v indeed_o obey_v his_o voice_n and_o do_v all_o that_o i_o speak_v than_o i_o will_v be_v a_o enemy_n unto_o thy_o enemy_n and_o a_o adversary_n to_o thy_o adversary_n for_o my_o angel_n shall_v go_v before_o thou_o and_o bring_v thou_o unto_o the_o amorites_n the_o hittite_n and_o the_o perizites_n and_o i_o will_v cut_v they_o off_o exod._n 23.21_o 22_o 23._o here_o if_o you_o diligent_o observe_v the_o text_n do_v lie_v first_o a_o promise_n second_o a_o precept_n for_o the_o promise_n the_o lord_n do_v tell_v they_o that_o he_o will_v send_v his_o angel_n before_o they_o as_o a_o convoy_n to_o guide_v they_o in_o the_o way_n and_o to_o plant_v they_o in_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n and_o for_o the_o way_n because_o they_o be_v to_o be_v in_o the_o wilderness_n forty_o year_n without_o field_n without_o clothing_n without_o mean_n to_o sustain_v the_o life_n of_o man_n therefore_o they_o shall_v be_v more_o immediate_o under_o the_o custody_n and_o tuition_n of_o the_o angel_n this_o angel_n must_v needs_o be_v christ_n he_o be_v the_o pillar_n of_o cloud_n that_o go_v before_o they_o by_o day_n and_o he_o be_v the_o pillar_n of_o fire_n that_o be_v their_o leader_n by_o night_n he_o feed_v they_o with_o manna_n and_o supply_v their_o want_n with_o water_n out_o of_o the_o rock_n to_o this_o the_o apostle_n seem_v to_o allude_v they_o do_v all_o eat_v the_o same_o spiritual_a meat_n and_o do_v all_o drink_n the_o
