to_o a_o prisoner_n the_o one_o conceive_v that_o he_o can_v come_v out_o of_o this_o prison_n because_o he_o be_v bind_v only_o as_o the_o papist_n the_o other_o because_o he_o be_v not_o only_o bind_v but_o dead_a also_o as_o the_o protestant_n both_o acknowledge_v that_o god_n be_v he_o without_o who_o they_o can_v be_v free_v from_o this_o estate_n of_o thraldom_n only_o the_o papist_n say_v that_o god_n need_v but_o only_o untie_v his_o bond_n and_o then_o he_o can_v come_v out_o of_o himself_o whereas_o the_o protestant_n seem_v to_o increase_v his_o mercy_n and_o say_v he_o must_v not_o only_o loose_v his_o bond_n but_o also_o restore_v he_o to_o life_n now_o for_o as_o much_o as_o both_o do_v attribute_v the_o power_n of_o come_v out_o of_o prison_n to_o god_n what_o great_a danger_n say_v they_o be_v in_o either_o opinion_n which_o shall_v so_o set_v we_o at_o odds_n about_o it_o but_o these_o observe_v not_o the_o whole_a difference_n say_v that_o we_o both_o acknowledge_v god_n to_o be_v he_o which_o give_v we_o power_n to_o come_v out_o of_o prison_n yet_o if_o he_o leave_v we_o there_o and_o persuade_v we_o not_o so_o effectual_o that_o we_o not_o only_o may_v but_o also_o will_v come_v out_o if_o be_v wound_v the_o chirurgeon_n give_v i_o a_o plaster_n and_o then_o leave_v i_o to_o apply_v it_o to_o my_o wound_n if_o i_o will_v or_o otherwise_o not_o why_o sure_o i_o must_v impute_v the_o immediate_a cause_n of_o my_o deliverance_n or_o cure_n to_o myself_o and_o not_o to_o the_o other_o which_o untie_v my_o bond_n or_o give_v i_o my_o plaster_n now_o what_o say_v the_o council_n of_o trent_n in_o the_o 4._o canon_n and_o 6._o session_n whosoever_o say_v that_o the_o free_a will_n of_o man_n be_v move_v and_o stir_v up_o by_o god_n do_v not_o cooperate_v by_o yield_v to_o god_n so_o stir_v and_o call_v he_o whereby_o he_o may_v dispose_v and_o prepare_v himself_o to_o obtain_v the_o grace_n of_o justification_n and_o that_o he_o can_v dissent_v if_o he_o listen_v let_v he_o be_v accurse_v so_o in_o the_o first_o act_n of_o regeneration_n it_o make_v man_n will_n a_o co-worker_n with_o god_n grace_n and_o give_v the_o will_n a_o power_n to_o use_v or_o refuse_v this_o grace_n offer_v as_o before_o i_o tell_v you_o of_o stay_v and_o go_v out_o of_o prison_n of_o cure_v or_o not_o cure_v of_o wound_n whereas_o our_o ten_o article_n tell_v we_o we_o that_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n prevent_v we_o how_o why_o it_o say_v not_o only_o that_o we_o may_v have_v a_o power_n but_o that_o we_o may_v have_v a_o good_a will_n nor_o do_v it_o there_o leave_v we_o but_o work_v with_o we_o when_o we_o have_v the_o will_n the_o papist_n tenant_n be_v much_o derogatory_n from_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n which_o claim_v both_o the_o will_n &_o the_o deed_n to_o himself_o and_o in_o this_o point_n of_o free_a will_n the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o we_o can_v be_v reconcile_v thus_o have_v you_o see_v how_o popery_n blind_v herself_o in_o view_v herestate_a of_o misery_n how_o she_o cover_v her_o wrinkle_n &_o deformity_n and_o stop_v her_o creviss_n with_o untempered_a mortar_n if_o she_o teach_v not_o that_o concupiscence_n which_o be_v the_o inmost_a garment_n of_o the_o soul_n the_o first_o it_o put_v on_o and_o the_o last_o it_o put_v off_o be_v no_o sin_n she_o can_v not_o affirm_v afterward_o that_o any_o man_n can_v perform_v the_o law_n or_o be_v justify_v by_o inherent_a righteousness_n and_o if_o she_o lay_v not_o with_o another_o hand_n the_o sandy_a foundation_n of_o freewill_n she_o can_v not_o have_v outface_v the_o world_n that_o the_o merit_n of_o any_o man_n be_v his_o own_o so_o then_o have_v play_v her_o part_n as_o she_o think_v with_o applause_n in_o the_o first_o scene_n of_o man_n life_n his_o forlorn_a estate_n of_o misery_n she_o venture_v from_o that_o to_o the_o second_o scene_n of_o his_o life_n his_o cure_n &_o recovery_n out_o of_o his_o former_a sickness_n by_o justification_n though_o as_o yet_o you_o see_v she_o be_v not_o so_o good_a a_o leech_n as_o to_o find_v out_o the_o extremity_n of_o the_o disease_n yet_o i_o wish_v she_o so_o good_a luck_n as_o to_o light_v upon_o some_o good_a medicine_n to_o remove_v it_o hence_o the_o question_n arise_v betwixt_o the_o protestant_n and_o she_o whether_o she_o must_v look_v for_o the_o physic_n within_o herself_o or_o whether_o she_o must_v look_v for_o it_o abroad_o in_o a_o word_n the_o chief_a quarrel_n be_v about_o the_o matter_n of_o this_o physic_n and_o the_o instrument_n which_o apply_v it_o first_o for_o the_o matter_n of_o it_o we_o agree_v on_o both_o side_n that_o it_o be_v righteousness_n and_o that_o this_o righteousness_n must_v come_v from_o christ_n now_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n be_v either_o inherent_a in_o himself_o and_o esteem_v as_o we_o by_o reason_n of_o our_o faith_n in_o he_o or_o else_o inherent_a in_o we_o but_o proceed_v from_o he_o be_v infuse_v in_o our_o heart_n by_o his_o grace_n which_o we_o call_v sanctification_n the_o difference_n lie_v in_o this_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n make_v the_o matter_n of_o this_o cure_n that_o be_v which_o work_v our_o redemption_n from_o death_n and_o purchase_v everlasting_a life_n to_o be_v christ_n righteousness_n inherent_a in_o we_o which_o consist_v partly_o of_o habitual_a

actual_a righteousness_n to_o wit_n good_a work_n flow_v from_o the_o former_a as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o same_o session_n and_o 26_o can_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o former_a of_o these_o say_v the_o schoolman_n we_o obtain_v the_o first_o justification_n have_v heaven_n make_v due_a unto_o we_o by_o title_n of_o inheritance_n by_o the_o latter_a we_o obtain_v a_o second_o justification_n that_o be_v we_o do_v corroborate_v and_o increase_v the_o former_a lay_v right_o to_o heaven_n by_o title_n of_o merit_n contrariwise_o our_o 11_o article_n tell_v we_o that_o we_o be_v account_v righteous_a before_o god_n only_o for_o the_o merit_n of_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n by_o faith_n and_o not_o for_o our_o own_o work_n and_o deserve_n i_o may_v then_o reason_v here_o with_o saint_n paul_n if_o we_o be_v account_v righteous_a then_o it_o be_v of_o grace_n not_o of_o debt_n if_o only_o for_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n than_o not_o for_o our_o inherent_a righteousness_n if_o not_o for_o our_o own_o work_n and_o deserve_n then_o certain_o not_o for_o any_o habitual_a or_o actual_a justice_n that_o be_v in_o we_o but_o here_o our_o peacemaker_n do_v interpose_v see_v that_o both_o side_n do_v agree_v that_o we_o be_v absolve_v from_o our_o sin_n and_o deliver_v from_o hell_n original_o by_o the_o blood_n or_o jesus_n christ_n what_o do_v it_o

prove_v that_o we_o be_v able_a to_o receive_v this_o money_n into_o our_o hand_n if_o he_o shall_v give_v it_o we_o suppose_v one_o shall_v see_v a_o city_n which_o he_o be_v desirous_a to_o be_v
