three_o you_o must_v take_v notice_n that_o though_o the_o gospel_n be_v to_o be_v preach_v unto_o every_o creature_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o with_o a_o intent_n to_o convert_v &_o save_v all_o those_o

conditional_a clause_n and_o limitation_n its_o most_o apparent_a that_o god_n do_v never_o intend_v that_o his_o gospel_n shall_v convert_v and_o save_v all_o such_o as_o hear_v it_o preach_v as_o

in_o their_o heart_n now_o these_o be_v only_o the_o elect_a and_o no_o other_o for_o 30._o they_o only_o do_v believe_v therefore_o the_o gospel_n be_v intend_v unto_o they_o alone_o if_o this_o than_o be_v grant_v and_o yield_v unto_o i_o that_o the_o promise_n and_o glad_a tiding_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v proper_a and_o peculiar_a to_o the_o elect_a alone_o that_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v send_v out_o only_o to_o call_v and_o gather_v together_o the_o elect_a and_o that_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n unto_o every_o creature_n be_v not_o with_o a_o intent_n to_o convert_v and_o save_v all_o such_o as_o hear_v it_o but_o only_o such_o as_o do_v believe_v it_o who_o be_v always_o the_o lesser_a number_n and_o only_o such_o as_o be_v elect_v than_o it_o follow_v inevitable_o that_o there_o be_v no_o repugnancy_n nor_o contradiction_n between_o the_o secret_a and_o the_o reveal_v will_n of_o god_n and_o that_o god_n delude_v and_o cozen_v none_o to_o who_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v though_o they_o be_v not_o convert_v because_o he_o do_v never_o intend_v to_o convert_v all_o those_o that_o shall_v be_v the_o heater_n but_o only_o such_o as_o

that_o god_n do_v serious_o object_n exhort_v and_o entreat_v even_a reprobate_n and_o wicked_a man_n to_o repent_v and_o believe_v though_o he_o have_v determine_v to_o give_v no_o faith_n nor_o yet_o repentance_n to_o they_o therefore_o if_o they_o can_v repert_a and_o believe_v of_o themselves_o as_o we_o affirm_v god_n can_v but_o mock_v and_o dissemble_v with_o they_o because_o he_o exhort_v they_o unto_o that_o which_o they_o of_o themselves_o without_o god_n aid_n can_v never_o do_v and_o which_o himself_o have_v decree_v irrevocable_o that_o they_o shall_v never_o do_v to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v true_a that_o if_o god_n himself_o answ._n who_o know_v the_o heart_n and_o estate_n of_o all_o man_n shall_v tell_v any_o man_n from_o heaven_n that_o he_o be_v a_o reprobate_n and_o that_o he_o have_v irrevocable_o decree_v it_o that_o he_o will_v never_o work_v any_o faith_n or_o repentance_n in_o he_o and_o shall_v come_v to_o such_o a_o man_n in_o particular_a and_o serious_o exhort_v he_o to_o believe_v and_o repent_v that_o so_o he_o may_v be_v save_v that_o then_o there_o be_v some_o show_n of_o mockery_n falsehood_n and_o double_a deal_n in_o god_n and_o this_o objection_n may_v stand_v good_a but_o here_o the_o case_n stand_v otherwise_o for_o though_o god_n do_v oft_o time_n serious_o exhort_v and_o entreat_v even_o such_o to_o believe_v and_o repent_v as_o he_o have_v reprobate_v and_o for_o ever_o reject_v in_o his_o secret_a purpose_n and_o decree_n yet_o here_o be_v no_o delusion_n nor_o deceit_n at_o all_o first_o because_o the_o minister_n

who_o be_v god_n agent_n and_o ambassador_n unto_o this_o reprobate_n can_v never_o determine_v whether_o he_o be_v a_o reprobate_a yea_o orno_fw-la so_o that_o he_o tender_v grace_n and_o mercy_n to_o he_o not_o as_o to_o a_o reprebate_n or_o cast_v away_o but_o as_o to_o a_o choose_a saint_n of_o god_n for_o aught_o he_o know_v second_o because_o this_o reprobate_n to_o who_o this_o exhortation_n and_o tender_a of_o grace_n be_v make_v can_v never_o full_o satisfy_v not_o yet_o resolve_v himself_o that_o he_o be_v a_o reprobate_n because_o he_o be_v never_o privy_a to_o god_n counsel_n and_o because_o his_o whole_a life_n be_v a_o time_n of_o grace_n to_o he_o for_o aught_o he_o know_v since_o than_o it_o be_v neither_o reveal_v to_o the_o minister_n that_o offer_v grace_n not_o yet_o to_o he_o to_o who_o this_o grace_n be_v tender_v that_o he_o be_v a_o reprobate_n and_o that_o god_n have_v determine_v to_o bestow_v no_o grace_n upon_o he_o neither_o the_o minister_n nor_o yet_o himself_o can_v true_o say_v that_o god_n do_v mock_v he_o or_o delude_v he_o because_o that_o unto_o they_o and_o to_o all_o other_o man_n there_o be_v a_o possibility_n yea_o and_o a_o probability_n that_o this_o very_a reprobate_n may_v be_v save_v because_o he_o be_v no_o reprobate_a as_o unto_o they_o nor_o yet_o as_o to_o himself_o yea_o but_o you_o will_v object_v that_o god_n himself_o do_v certain_o object_n know_v that_o this_o very_a reprobate_a neither_o will_n no●_n can_v repent_v because_o he_o have_v decree_v to_o work_v no_o faith_n nor_o repentance_n in_o he_o therefore_o god_n must_v needs_o delude_v and_o mock_v he_o though_o man_n can_v discern_v it_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o if_o man_n can_v discern_v that_o 1._o god_n delude_v man_n in_o this_o his_o deal_n then_o how_o do_v it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o you_o who_o prosecute_v this_o objection_n can_v charge_v god_n with_o delusion_n and_o cozenage_n in_o his_o deal_n when_o as_o man_n can_v discern_v it_o what_o be_v you_o now_o translate_v into_o god_n or_o angel_n that_o you_o can_v fathom_n and_o find_v out_o this_o mystery_n which_o all_o the_o saint_n and_o reprobate_n in_o the_o world_n can_v espy_v doubtless_o if_o there_o be_v never_o a_o reprobate_n in_o the_o world_n that_o can_v say_v god_n deal_v false_o with_o he_o in_o desire_v his_o conversion_n when_o as_o he_o never_o do_v intend_v it_o because_o he_o can_v not_o satisfy_v himself_o whether_o he_o be_v a_o reprobate_a yea_o or_o no_o than_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o you_o who_o make_v this_o mystical_a and_o strange_a objection_n must_v cease_v to_o charge_n god_n with_o collusion_n and_o double_a deal_n till_o you_o be_v able_a for_o to_o tax_v he_o of_o or_o trace_v he_o in_o it_o second_o though_o god_n do_v certain_o know_v that_o reprobate_n neither_o can_v nor_o will_v repent_v yet_o he_o do_v not_o mock_v nor_o delude_v they_o by_o invite_v exhort_v and_o persuade_v they_o to_o repent_v because_o that_o as_o god_n do_v not_o invite_v they_o to_o faith_n and_o repentance_n as_o they_o be_v reprobate_n so_o his_o decree_n of_o reprobation_n be_v not_o the_o immediate_a cause_n of_o their_o infidelity_n and_o impenitency_n but_o their_o own_o corrupt_a and_o sinful_a nature_n which_o god_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o heal_v and_o cure_v indeed_o if_o god_n himself_o shall_v purposely_o bind_v they_o hand_n and_o foot_n in_o the_o chain_n and_o fetter_n of_o sin_n and_o then_o shall_v bid_v they_o go_v or_o walk_v and_o run_v on_o towards_o he_o in_o a_o serious_a and_o earnest_a manner_n he_o may_v then_o be_v think_v for_o to_o delude_v they_o but_o this_o god_n do_v not_o do_v he_o cast_v no_o rub_v nor_o block_n into_o our_o way_n but_o what_o we_o cast_v ourselves_o if_o we_o come_v not_o in_o when_o as_o he_o invite_v we_o it_o be_v not_o because_o god_n himself_o do_v not_o enable_v we_o but_o because_o we_o have_v ensnare_v ourselves_o in_o sin_n and_o trespass_n and_o disable_v ourselves_o to_o come_v unto_o he_o as_o we_o ought_v so_o that_o here_o we_o must_v accuse_v our_o self_n not_o god_n three_o when_o god_n do_v offer_v grace_n unto_o we_o we_o must_v know_v that_o he_o do_v not_o immediate_o infuse_v this_o grace_n into_o we_o but_o he_o work_v it_o in_o we_o by_o the_o use_n of_o mean_n now_o god_n when_o as_o he_o offer_v grace_n to_o reprobate_n they_o always_o slight_a neglect_n and_o vilify_v the_o meave_n by_o which_o god_n offer_v and_o convey_v his_o grace_n so_o that_o if_o they_o miss_v of_o grace_n as_o they_o always_o do_v they_o can_v lay_v the_o blame_n on_o god_n or_o lay_v that_o he_o do_v not_o intend_v for_o to_o convert_v they_o but_o they_o must_v take_v the_o blame_n upon_o themselves_o because_o if_o they_o have_v use_v the_o mean_n with_o care_n and_o conscience_n as_o they_o ought_v and_o do_v that_o which_o be_v requisite_a on_o their_o part_n god_n will_v have_v wrought_v effectual_o by_o his_o spirit_n in_o their_o heart_n for_o aught_o that_o they_o can_v tell_v or_o think_v to_o the_o contrary_n four_o when_o god_n do_v serious_o and_o earnest_o invite_v we_o to_o repentance_n and_o true_a save_v faith_n he_o do_v not_o always_o promise_v and_o resolve_v to_o work_v this_o faith_n and_o repentance_n in_o our_o heart_n for_o then_o they_o shall_v be_v always_o wrought_v
