that_o god_n have_v predestinate_v that_o those_o that_o will_v believe_v in_o christ_n shall_v be_v save_v and_o those_o that_o will_v not_o shall_v be_v damn_v to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o this_o be_v to_o short_a a_o description_n of_o predestination_n because_o predestination_n be_v not_o a_o conditional_a but_o a_o absolute_a decree_n as_o the_o scripture_n hold_v it_o forth_o rom._n 8.30_o in_o which_o place_n two_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v note_v and_o the_o first_o be_v the_o definition_n of_o the_o subject_n of_o predestination_n and_o they_o be_v only_o those_o which_o be_v in_o time_n call_v justify_v and_o glorify_v and_o the_o second_o be_v the_o order_n of_o the_o cause_n where_o we_o be_v to_o note_v that_o glorification_n be_v not_o the_o cause_n of_o our_o justification_n but_o justification_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o glorification_n so_o likewise_o justification_n be_v not_o the_o cause_n of_o vocation_n but_o vocation_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o justification_n so_o likewise_o vocation_n be_v not_o the_o cause_n of_o predestination_n but_o predestination_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o vacation_n and_o there_o be_v no_o cause_n of_o predestination_n but_o the_o mere_a will_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o predestination_n be_v absolute_a not_o conditional_a promise_n and_o threaten_n may_v be_v find_v conditional_a but_o a_o conditional_a decree_n the_o scripture_n maintain_v not_o and_o where_o it_o be_v further_o say_v that_o many_o do_v affirm_v that_o god_n have_v decree_v some_o to_o do_v wicked_o and_o so_o to_o fall_v under_o condemnation_n i_o answer_v that_o god_n have_v decree_v to_o permit_v some_o to_o do_v wicked_o and_o to_o refuse_v grace_n and_o according_o to_o punish_v they_o and_o to_o prevent_v other_o and_o to_o create_v they_o in_o christ_n jesus_n 2.10_o ephes_n 2.10_o unto_o good_a work_n and_o according_o to_o save_v they_o and_o to_o this_o accord_n rom._n 9.22.23_o what_o and_o if_o god_n will_v to_o declare_v his_o wrath_n and_o make_v his_o power_n know_v suffer_v with_o long_a patience_n the_o vessel_n of_o wrath_n prepare_v or_o fit_v to_o destruction_n that_o he_o may_v declare_v the_o riches_n of_o his_o mercy_n upon_o the_o vessel_n of_o mercy_n which_o he_o have_v prepare_v unto_o glory_n and_o they_o have_v not_o prepare_v themselves_o thereunto_o now_o to_o disprove_v this_o kind_n of_o predestination_n something_o be_v say_v concern_v adam_n how_o that_o he_o be_v create_v after_o the_o image_n of_o god_n in_o the_o faculty_n of_o his_o soul_n and_o disposition_n of_o his_o body_n and_o set_v by_o god_n in_o the_o garden_n of_o eden_n who_o give_v he_o a_o law_n concern_v the_o tree_n of_o knowledge_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a decree_a that_o if_o he_o do_v obey_v he_o shall_v live_v but_o if_o he_o do_v eat_v he_o shall_v die_v and_o that_o although_o god_n foresee_v that_o adam_n will_v break_v his_o law_n yet_o it_o will_v not_o follow_v that_o god_n decree_v he_o shall_v break_v it_o to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o it_o do_v follow_v that_o god_n decree_v he_o shall_v break_v it_o else_o he_o will_v not_o have_v suffer_v he_o to_o break_v it_o have_v power_n to_o hinder_v he_o if_o it_o be_v his_o will_n he_o can_v easy_o do_v it_o but_o he_o will_v not_o therefore_o it_o be_v his_o will_n to_o permit_v adam_n to_o break_v his_o law_n and_o where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o if_o it_o be_v so_o then_o adam_n have_v no_o mean_n to_o resist_v sin_n i_o answer_v i_o deny_v the_o consequence_n for_o it_o do_v no_o more_o follow_v that_o god_n decree_n that_o adam_n will_v or_o shall_v certain_o fall_v by_o his_o permission_n do_v take_v from_o adam_n power_n of_o resistance_n of_o sin_n than_o god_n infallible_a foresight_n th●●_n adam_n will_v fall_v do_v the_o late_a you_o grant_v and_o prove_v act_v 15.18_o

therefore_o the_o former_a stand_v upon_o the_o same_o ground_n and_o whereas_o it_o be_v say_v that_o if_o adam_n have_v resist_v the_o tempter_n and_o stand_v he_o have_v cross_v the_o decree_n of_o god_n which_o be_v impossible_a because_o god_n decree_n be_v unalterable_a i_o answer_v and_o affirm_v the_o like_a of_o his_o prescience_n or_o foreknowledge_n which_o be_v as_o infallible_a as_o his_o decree_n for_o if_o adam_n have_v resist_v the_o tempter_n and_o have_v stand_v god_n have_v be_v deceive_v in_o his_o foresight_n concern_v his_o fall_n and_o this_o argument_n be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o the_o sky_n fall_v we_o shall_v have_v lark_n but_o it_o do_v not_o fall_v and_o therefore_o they_o be_v not_o easy_o have_v and_o where_o it_o be_v further_o say_v that_o if_o it_o shall_v be_v grant_v that_o god_n decree_v that_o adam_n shall_v eat_v and_o die_v and_o yet_o command_v he_o that_o he_o shall_v not_o eat_v to_o the_o end_n that_o he_o may_v live_v this_o be_v to_o make_v the_o lord_n contrary_a to_o himself_o i_o answer_v deny_v the_o consequence_n for_o these_o thing_n be_v not_o contrary_a namely_o for_o god_n to_o command_n adam_n not_o to_o eat_v as_o have_v authority_n so_o to_o do_v to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v try_v his_o willing_a obedience_n and_o in_o case_n he_o fall_v to_o discover_v the_o heinousness_n of_o his_o sin_n and_o disobedience_n and_o god_n foresee_v he_o will_v fall_v to_o permit_v he_o so_o to_o do_v be_v no_o contradiction_n at_o all_o but_o a_o pure_a truth_n for_o if_o man_n be_v elect_v in_o christ_n before_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n than_o be_v the_o fall_n presuppose_v and_o that_o they_o be_v so_o paul_n affirm_v it_o ephes_n 1.3.4_o and_o therefore_o in_o this_o point_n there_o be_v no_o danger_n at_o all_o and_o where_o it_o be_v further_o say_v if_o there_o be_v no_o such_o decree_n concern_v adam_n than_o not_o concern_v his_o posterity_n neither_o to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o decree_n concern_v adam_n to_o permit_v he_o to_o do_v the_o evil_n which_o be_v forbid_v ergo_fw-la there_o be_v such_o a_o decree_n concern_v his_o posterity_n also_o to_o permit_v they_o to_o do_v those_o thing_n which_o they_o do_v that_o be_v forbid_v and_o whereas_o it_o be_v further_o say_v that_o if_o any_o still_o will_v hold_v that_o god_n decree_v any_o man_n condemnation_n than_o it_o be_v for_o transgression_n of_o the_o law_n which_o no_o man_n can_v do_v before_o he_o be_v create_v i_o answer_v that_o although_o no_o man_n can_v transgress_v the_o law_n before_o he_o be_v create_v yet_o god_n can_v foresee_v that_o man_n will_v transgress_v a_o law_n before_o man_n be_v create_v and_o decree_v to_o suffer_v he_o so_o to_o do_v and_o decree_v to_o punish_v he_o according_o and_o wherereas_fw-la it_o be_v further_o demand_v whether_o god_n decree_v the_o condemnation_n of_o adam_n person_n and_o suppose_v the_o answer_n will_v be_v no_o because_o god_n decree_v to_o send_v his_o son_n to_o redeem_v he_o from_o death_n and_o if_o him_z why_o not_o all_o his_o posterity_n see_v it_o be_v write_v joh._n 3.16_o that_o god_n so_o love_v the_o world_n that_o he_o give_v his_o only_a beget_v son_n that_o whosoever_o believe_v in_o he_o shall_v not_o perish_v but_o have_v everlasting_a life_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v from_o hence_o that_o god_n have_v decree_v to_o do_v for_o all_o alike_o in_o cause_v of_o they_o to_o believe_v 11.21_o ezek._n 3.6.7_o mat._n 11.21_o for_o though_o it_o may_v be_v
