any_o because_o the_o thing_n be_v not_o nor_o can_v be_v by_o which_o salvation_n shall_v be_v to_o wit_n innocency_n recall_v and_o all_o fall_v equal_o from_o it_o as_o all_o be_v equal_o in_o

that_o it_o be_v usual_a with_o the_o saint_n in_o former_a time_n to_o draw_v conclusion_n and_o argument_n from_o the_o attribute_n of_o god_n so_o abraham_n shall_v not_o the_o judge_n of_o all_o

as_o be_v elsewhere_o manifest_v so_o it_o can_v be_v the_o meaning_n of_o this_o place_n for_o when_o the_o question_n be_v make_v to_o paul_n why_o do_v he_o yet_o complain_v for_o who_o have_v resist_v his_o will_n if_o he_o mean_v such_o a_o will_n as_o this_o that_o god_n do_v make_v or_o raise_v up_o some_o man_n who_o mere_o of_o his_o will_n he_o harden_v and_o other_o who_o mere_o

harden_v and_o soften_v who_o he_o please_v paul_n answer_v that_o god_n may_v do_v with_o man_n what_o he_o will_v as_o the_o potter_n with_o the_o clay_n but_o though_o he_o may_v &_o do_v do_v what_o he_o will_v yet_o the_o objection_n remain_v still_o why_o do_v he_o then_o complain_v of_o what_o be_v do_v for_o as_o the_o pot_n do_v not_o say_v to_o the_o potter_n why_o have_v thou_o make_v i_o thus_o so_o the_o potter_n do_v not_o complain_v of_o the_o pot_n which_o he_o have_v make_v according_a to_o his_o will_n say_v why_o be_v thou_o thus_o make_v for_o then_o the_o pottter_fw-ge must_v be_v angry_a with_o and_o complain_v of_o himself_o that_o make_v it_o so_o but_o the_o reason_n why_o god_n be_v angry_a with_o they_o be_v because_o they_o seek_v righteousness_n as_o it_o be_v by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n and_o not_o by_o faith_n and_o that_o be_v give_v also_o as_o the_o reason_n why_o they_o do_v not_o attain_v to_o the_o law_n of_o righteousness_n as_o be_v evident_a in_o the_o 31_o and_o 32._o verse_n of_o this_o chapter_n but_o israel_n which_o follow_v after_o the_o law_n of_o righteousness_n have_v not_o obtain_v to_o the_o law_n of_o righteousness_n wherefore_o not_o because_o they_o be_v not_o elect_v but_o because_o they_o seek_v it_o not_o by_o faith_n but_o as_o it_o be_v by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n for_o they_o stumble_v at_o that_o stumble_a stone_n etc._n etc._n now_o let_v we_o take_v the_o advice_n of_o the_o apostle_n peter_n in_o his_o 2._o epistle_n 3._o chapter_n and_o 15_o verse_n and_o account_v the_o long-suffering_a of_o god_n salvation_n even_o as_o our_o belove_a brother_n paul_n also_o in_o all_o his_o epistle_n say_v he_o have_v write_v unto_o you_o according_a to_o the_o

shall_v come_v to_o repentance_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o 9_o verse_n of_o the_o forementioned_a chapter_n joh._n 12.39.40_o therefore_o can_v they_o not_o believe_v because_o esaias_n say_v again_o

heal_v they_o hence_o it_o be_v infer_v that_o as_o god_n afford_v some_o man_n mean_v sufficient_a to_o beget_v faith_n in_o they_o so_o he_o blind_v the_o eye_n and_o harden_v the_o heart_n of_o

shall_v not_o believe_v neither_o of_o these_o expression_n imply_v any_o natural_a inability_n or_o want_n of_o power_n in_o they_o to_o believe_v only_o it_o declare_v that_o what_o god_n fore_o

exhort_v to_o believe_v in_o the_o 36_o verse_n and_o in_o the_o 37_o verse_n christ_n complain_v that_o though_o he_o have_v do_v so_o many_o miracle_n before_o they_o yet_o they_o believe_v not_o
