i_o never_o think_v that_o election_n or_o the_o purpose_n of_o god_n be_v no_o cause_n at_o all_o of_o our_o be_v in_o christ_n but_o i_o have_v often_o affirm_v that_o our_o election_n and_o the_o purpose_n of_o god_n be_v the_o efficient_a and_o antecedent_n cause_n of_o our_o be_v in_o christ_n for_o we_o be_v elect_v from_o eternity_n but_o our_o engraft_v into_o christ_n be_v in_o time_n or_o else_o how_o can_v we_o be_v say_v to_o be_v out_o of_o christ_n before_o call_v also_o how_o can_v junia_n and_o andronicus_n be_v in_o christ_n before_o paul_n rom._n 16._o 7._o and_o the_o

as_o soon_o as_o june_n and_o andronicus_n 2._o if_o we_o be_v in_o christ_n as_o soon_o as_o we_o be_v elect_v than_o we_o can_v not_o be_v guilty_a of_o original_a sin_n when_o we_o come_v into_o the_o world_n for_o there_o be_v no_o condemnation_n to_o they_o that_o be_v in_o christ_n rom._n 8._o 1._o but_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o by_o adam_n sin_n judgement_n come_v upon_o all_o man_n to_o condemnation_n rome_n 5._o 18._o and_o all_o the_o world_n as_o they_o stand_v in_o the_o first_o adam_n all_o be_v guilty_a before_o god_n rome_n 3._o 19_o so_o that_o it_o be_v for_o want_v of_o distinguish_v between_o election_n as_o the_o forerunner_n of_o our_o be_v in_o christ_n and_o our_o actual_a be_v in_o he_o that_o cause_v your_o mistake_v as_o for_o the_o purpose_n of_o god_n it_o will_v be_v more_o clear_v up_o by_o what_o i_o shall_v say_v upon_o this_o point_n god_n purpose_n in_o its_o own_o nature_n can_v be_v the_o immediate_a actual_a do_v of_o the_o thing_n purpose_a but_o the_o purpose_n of_o necessity_n must_v be_v antecedent_n to_o the_o thing_n purpose_a or_o else_o the_o purpose_n be_v destroy_v and_o so_o god_n purpose_a to_o make_v the_o world_n from_o eternity_n but_o the_o world_n be_v not_o make_v from_o eternity_n but_o in_o time_n so_o god_n purpose_a to_o call_v a_o certain_a number_n into_o the_o fellowship_n of_o his_o son_n 1_o cor._n 1._o 9_o and_o hence_o believer_n be_v say_v to_o be_v call_v according_a to_o his_o purpose_n rom._n 8._o 28._o rom._n 9_o 11._o so_o that_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o god_n purpose_n be_v antecedent_n to_o our_o call_v or_o else_o it_o can_v not_o be_v say_v we_o be_v call_v according_a to_o his_o purpose_n so_o that_o from_o hence_o i_o conclude_v that_o a_o man_n may_v be_v in_o the_o election_n and_o purpose_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o at_o present_a be_v no_o new_a creature_n and_o so_o not_o in_o christ_n for_o if_o any_o man_n be_v in_o christ_n he_o be_v a_o new_a creature_n and_o to_o say_v that_o any_o man_n be_v in_o christ_n before_o he_o be_v a_o new_a creature_n be_v to_o give_v the_o text_n the_o lie_n and_o to_o destroy_v the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n about_o regeneration_n and_o to_o suppose_v a_o person_n may_v be_v in_o christ_n and_o not_o regenerate_v this_o must_v of_o necessity_n run_v you_o into_o a_o desperate_a absurdity_n on_o the_o
