dispositive_o willing_a they_o may_v actual_o believe_v and_o will_n and_o thus_o the_o ungodly_a have_v power_n to_o believe_v sometime_o the_o word_n power_n be_v take_v for_o authority_n or_o

threaten_v adjoin_v which_o will_v condemn_v you_o if_o you_o do_v not_o sometime_o the_o word_n power_n be_v take_v ethical_o and_o less_o proper_o for_o a_o disposition_n inclination_n habit_n or_o freedom_n from_o the_o contrary_a habit_n or_o disposition_n and_o in_o this_o sense_n it_o be_v true_a that_o none_o but_o the_o effectual_o call_v have_v a_o power_n to_o believe_v but_o then_o observe_v 1._o that_o this_o be_v but_o a_o moral_a less_o proper_a and_o not_o a_o physical_a proper_a impotency_n and_o therefore_o austin_n choose_v rather_o to_o say_v that_o all_o man_n have_v power_n to_o believe_v but_o all_o have_v not_o a_o will_n or_o faith_n itself_o because_o we_o use_v to_o difference_n power_n from_o willingness_n and_o willingness_n actuate_v the_o power_n which_o we_o have_v before_o and_o therefore_o our_o divine_n choose_v rather_o to_o call_v grace_n a_o habit_n when_o they_o speak_v exact_o than_o a_o power_n and_o dr._n twiss_n deride_v the_o arminian_n for_o talk_v of_o a_o power_n subject_v in_o a_o power_n 2._o note_v that_o this_o impotency_n be_v but_o the_o same_o thing_n with_o your_o unwillingness_n and_o wilful_a blindness_n in_o another_o

you_o ●o_o mean_v towards_o the_o cure_n of_o this_o disability_n which_o you_o have_v neglect_v 4._o note_v that_o this_o impotency_n be_v not_o a_o just_a excuse_n but_o a_o aggravation_n of_o your_o sin_n if_o you_o be_v willing_a to_o be_v the_o servant_n of_o christ_n and_o yet_o be_v not_o able_a either_o because_o he_o will_v not_o accept_v you_o or_o because_o of_o a_o want_n of_o

in_o refuse_v grace_n be_v worse_a than_o to_o be_v mere_o actual_o unwilling_a if_o a_o man_n have_v so_o accustom_v himself_o to_o murder_n drunkenness_n steal_v or_o the_o like_a wickedness_n so_o far_o that_o he_o can_v leave_v it_o will_v you_o therefore_o forgive_v he_o or_o will_v any_o judge_n or_o jury_n hold_v he_o excuse_v or_o rather_o think_v he_o the_o more_o unfit_a for_o mercy_n 5._o note_v also_o that_o the_o want_n of_o a_o supernatural_a habit_n no_o nor_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o contrary_a habit_n do_v not_o efficient_o determine_v the_o will_n to_o particular_a act_n
