his_o grace_n to_o live_v for_o ever_o in_o himself_o he_o be_v only_o all_o goodness_n and_o from_o who_o only_o be_v only_o good_a we_o receive_v this_o first_o good_a of_o our_o election_n how_o

free_a election_n of_o man_n above_o all_o creature_n &_o under_o he_o to_o be_v lord_n over_o they_o fall_v unto_o we_o by_o the_o only_a gracious_a work_n of_o his_o holy_a will_n to_o his_o only_a

be_v make_v the_o best_a best_a of_o his_o creature_n but_o to_o serve_v he_o with_o such_o love_n that_o we_o maic_a live_v with_o he_o in_o glory_n he_o have_v not_o only_o choose_v we_o for_o his_o

create_v all_o thing_n can_v give_v he_o nothing_o to_o persuade_v or_o allure_v he_o to_o make_v we_o to_o his_o image_n be_v create_v we_o be_v so_o poor_a that_o we_o have_v nothing_o but_o what_o

for_o our_o redemtion_n what_o can_v we_o give_v he_o have_v nothing_o and_o if_o we_o have_v have_v all_o the_o world_n it_o be_v but_o his_o own_o and_o as_o nothing_o to_o recompense_v this_o admirable_a point_n of_o his_o goodness_n in_o our_o redemption_n consider_v then_o for_o our_o election_n we_o can_v give_v he_o nothing_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v only_o of_o his_o grace_n for_o our_o creation_n we_o have_v nothing_o to_o give_v he_o for_o we_o have_v nothing_o but_o what_o he_o give_v we_o for_o our_o redemtion_n the_o least_o drop_n of_o the_o precious_a blood_n of_o his_o

the_o grace_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n he_o do_v sanctify_v we_o and_o who_o can_v think_v or_o dare_v presume_v to_o buy_v that_o glorious_a blessing_n of_o he_o shall_v with_o simon_n magus_n perish_v in_o the_o horror_n of_o such_o a_o sin_n the_o least_o spark_n of_o his_o grace_n be_v more_o worth_a than_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o the_o world_n all_o his_o and_o man_n but_o a_o

of_o he_o the_o glorious_a ground_n of_o our_o belief_n whereby_o only_o we_o be_v justify_v our_o election_n then_o from_o grace_n our_o creation_n in_o grace_n our_o redemption_n by_o grace_n out_o
