we_o be_v dispose_v to_o do_v or_o even_o to_o will_n good_n but_o for_o the_o right_n and_o full_a apprehend_v this_o first_o article_n it_o be_v to_o be_v note_v that_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n be_v sometime_o mean_v the_o act_n and_o sometime_o the_o habit_n of_o grace_n the_o act_n of_o grace_n be_v any_o operation_n or_o motion_n of_o the_o divine_a spirit_n upon_o our_o spirit_n whereby_o it_o excit_v we_o to_o good_a or_o enable_v we_o therein_o the_o habit_n of_o grace_n be_v the_o gracious_a or_o good_a frame_n of_o mind_n that_o be_v beget_v in_o we_o by_o the_o many_o former_a good_a purpose_n and_o act_n that_o have_v be_v cause_v in_o we_o by_o the_o particular_a motion_n or_o act_n of_o the_o divine_a spirit_n if_o the_o pelagian_o or_o semipelagian_o have_v observe_v this_o they_o will_v not_o have_v allege_v the_o purpose_n of_o king_n david_n to_o build_v a_o temple_n to_o god_n nor_o st._n paul_n essay_v to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n in_o bythinia_n they_o will_v not_o have_v plead_v that_o god_n forbid_v david_n and_o forbid_v that_o apostle_n to_o execute_v their_o purpose_n and_o that_o therefore_o though_o they_o be_v indeed_o good_a purpose_n of_o necessity_n they_o proceed_v not_o from_o a_o motion_n of_o god_n spirit_n that_o god_n forbid_v they_o sheweth_z indeed_o those_o purpose_n come_v not_o from_o what_o we_o have_v call_v the_o act_n of_o grace_n namely_o a_o particular_a motion_n of_o the_o divine_a spirit_n but_o they_o may_v and_o do_v proceed_v from_o the_o habit_n of_o grace_n from_o the_o gracious_a or_o holy_a frame_n of_o their_o mind_n that_o have_v be_v wrought_v in_o they_o by_o former_a motion_n and_o operation_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o short_a i_o say_v every_o good_a purpose_n as_o well_o as_o good_a action_n be_v from_o grace_n either_o from_o that_o grace_n which_o be_v a_o particular_a motion_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n or_o from_o the_o habit_n of_o grace_n that_o arise_v from_o the_o many_o former_a motion_n of_o the_o divine_a spirit_n and_o dispose_v we_o to_o well-doing_n in_o the_o general_a it_o be_v very_o plain_a i_o think_v that_o this_o reflection_n full_o and_o clear_o answer_v to_o that_o exception_n raise_v from_o david_n and_o paul_n holy_a purpose_n which_o god_n forbid_v for_o we_o do_v not_o say_v that_o all_o good_a intention_n and_o action_n be_v from_o the_o act_n of_o grace_n which_o be_v a_o particular_a motion_n of_o god_n spirit_n no_o many_o good_a action_n as_o well_o as_o purpose_n be_v from_o the_o habit_n of_o grace_n even_o that_o good_a frame_n of_o mind_n that_o be_v generate_v by_o some_o former_a act_n of_o god_n spirit_n i_o need_v only_o to_o add_v here_o that_o though_o the_o instance_n of_o david_n and_o of_o paul_n do_v not_o prove_v that_o we_o can_v design_v good_a much_o less_o can_v do_v it_o without_o divine_a grace_n yet_o they_o prove_v with_o certainty_n the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n that_o good_a action_n or_o design_n may_v proceed_v from_o the_o mere_a habit_n of_o grace_n from_o a_o reform_a renew_v regenerate_a heart_n or_o mind_n without_o a_o particular_a motion_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n for_o have_v those_o good_a purpose_n of_o david_n and_o paul_n issue_v from_o a_o immediate_a and_o particular_a motion_n of_o the_o divine_a spirit_n call_v the_o act_n of_o grace_n it_o be_v not_o imaginable_a they_o will_v have_v be_v forbid_v as_o we_o see_v they_o be_v 2_o sam._n 7.5_o act_n 16.17_o i_o be_o persuade_v also_o this_o be_v our_o saviour_n meaning_n in_o those_o

of_o the_o difficulty_n that_o be_v object_v by_o contend_v party_n through_o this_o whole_a question_n for_o a_o general_a proof_n of_o it_o we_o may_v observe_v that_o as_o so_o many_o text_n do_v aver_v the_o necessity_n of_o god_n grace_n to_o enable_v we_o to_o do_v or_o to_o will_n that_o which_o be_v good_a many_o more_o express_a text_n require_v of_o all_o repentance_n and_o welldoing_a and_o other_o text_n declare_v it_o be_v much_o against_o the_o will_n of_o god_n that_o any_o shall_v perish_v therefore_o these_o latter_a text_n plain_o suppose_v a_o universal_a grace_n of_o god_n a_o general_a common_a grace_n give_v to_o all_o for_o it_o be_v a_o most_o wretched_a impertinence_n or_o a_o manifest_a mockery_n to_o command_v all_o man_n every_o where_o to_o repent_v which_o be_v the_o express_a word_n of_o holy_a scripture_n or_o to_o blame_v and_o upbraid_v they_o for_o want_n of_o faith_n or_o of_o righteousness_n and_o yet_o much_o more_o to_o damn_v they_o for_o the_o lack_n of_o these_o thing_n profess_v in_o the_o mean_a time_n that_o god_n will_v not_o that_o any_o shall_v perish_v but_o that_o all_o shall_v be_v save_v i_o say_v this_o be_v a_o open_a mockery_n or_o a_o impertinence_n if_o there_o be_v not_o a_o common_a and_o general_a grace_n of_o god_n in_o the_o use_n of_o which_o we_o can_v do_v as_o be_v require_v of_o we_o can_v believe_v repent_v and_o do_v righteousness_n i_o take_v this_o to_o be_v a_o very_a solid_a proof_n of_o universal_a grace_n namely_o that_o universal_a grace_n be_v suppose_v and_o be_v imply_v in_o the_o
