whereof_o which_o be_v this_o liberty_n be_v to_o choose_v what_o we_o will_v not_o to_o choose_v our_o will_n no_o iucul●ation_n be_v sufficient_a to_o make_v the_o bishop_n take_v notice_n of_o notwithstanding_o he_o be_v other_o where_o so_o witty_a and_o here_o so_o crafty_a as_o to_o send_v out_o argument_n for_o spy_n the_o cause_n why_o i_o deny_v the_o consequence_n be_v that_o i_o

must_v borrow_v a_o answer_n from_o st._n paul_n rom._n 9_o ver_fw-la 11._o from_o the_o 11._o verse_n of_o the_o chapter_n to_o the_o 18._o be_v lay_v down_o the_o very_a same_o objection_n in_o these_o word_n when_o they_o mean_v esau_n and_o jacob_n be_v yet_o unborn_a and_o have_v do_v neither_o good_a nor_o evil_a that_o the_o purpose_n of_o god_n according_a to_o election_n not_o by_o work_n but_o by_o he_o that_o call_v may_v remain_v firm_a it_o be_v say_v to_o she_o viz._n to_o rebeckah_n that_o the_o elder_a shall_v serve_v the_o young_a and_o what_o then_o shall_v we_o say_v be_v there_o injustice_n with_o god_n god_n forbid_v it_o be_v not-therefore_a in_o he_o that_o will_v nor_o in_o he_o that_o run_v but_o in_o god_n that_o show_v mercy_n for_o the_o scripture_n say_v to_o pharaoh_n i_o have_v stir_v thou_o up_o that_o i_o may_v show_v my_o power_n in_o thou_o and_o that_o my_o name_n may_v be_v set_v forth_o in_o all_o the_o earth_n therefore_o who_o god_n will_v he_o have_v mercy_n on_o and_o who_o he_o will_v he_o harden_v thus_o you_o see_v the_o case_n put_v by_o st._n paul_n be_v the_o same_o with_o that_o of_o j._n d._n and_o the_o same_o objection_n in_o these_o word_n follow_v thou_o will_v ask_v i_o thin_a why_o will_v god_n yet_o complain_v for_o who_o have_v resist_v his_o will_n to_o this_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n answer_v not_o by_o deny_v it_o be_v god_n will_v or_o that_o the_o decree_n of_o god_n concern_v esau_n be_v not_o before_o he_o have_v sin_v or_o that_o esau_n be_v not_o necessitate_v to_o do_v what_o he_o do_v but_o thus_o who_o be_v thou_o o_o man_n that_o interrogate_a god_n shall_v the_o work_n say_v to_o the_o workman_n why_o have_v thou_o make_v i_o thus_o have_v not_o the_o potter_n power_n over_o the_o clay_n of_o the_o same_o stuff_n to_o make_v one_o vessel_n to_o honour_n another_o to_o dishonour_v according_a therefore_o to_o this_o answer_n of_o st._n paul_n i_o answer_v j._n d_n objection_n and_o say_v the_o power_n of_o god_n alone_o without_o other_o help_n be_v sufficient_a justification_n of_o any_o action_n he_o do_v that_o which_o man_n make_v among_o themselves_o here_o by_o pact_n and_o covenant_n and_o call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o justice_n and_o according_a whereunto_o man_n be_v count_v and_o term_v right_o just_a and_o unjust_a be_v not_o that_o by_o which_o god_n almighty_n action_n be_v to_o be_v measure_v or_o call_v just_a no_o more_o than_o his_o counsel_n be_v to_o be_v measure_v by_o human_a wisdom_n that_o which_o he_o do_v be_v make_v just_a by_o his_o do_v just_o i_o say_v in_o he_o not_o always_o just_a in_o we_o by_o the_o example_n for_o a_o man_n that_o shall_v command_v a_o thing_n open_o and_o plot_n secret_o the_o hindrance_n of_o the_o same_o if_o he_o punish_v he_o he_o so_o command_v for_o not_o do_v it_o be_v unjust_a so_o also_o his_o counsel_n they_o be_v therefore_o not_o in_o vain_a because_o they_o be_v his_o whether_o we_o see_v the_o use_n of_o they_o or_o not_o when_o god_n afflict_a job_n he_o do_v object_v no_o sin_n to_o he_o but_o justify_v that_o afflict_v he_o by_o tell_v he_o of_o his_o power_n have_v thou_o say_v god_n a_o arm_n like_o i_o where_o be_v thou_o when_o i_o lay_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o like_a so_o our_o saviour_n concern_v the_o man_n that_o be_v bear_v blind_a say_v it_o be_v not_o for_o his_o sin_n nor_o his_o parent_n sin_n but_o that_o the_o power_n of_o god_n may_v be_v show_v in_o he_o beast_n be_v subject_a to_o death_n and_o torment_n yet_o they_o can_v sin_v it_o be_v god_n will_v it_o shall_v be_v so_o power_n irresistible_a justifi_v all_o action_n real_o and_o proper_o in_o whosoever_o it_o be_v find_v less_o power_n do_v not_o and_o because_o such_o power_n be_v in_o god_n only_o he_o must_v needs_o be_v just_a in_o all_o his_o action_n and_o we_o that_o not_o comprehend_v his_o counsel_n call_v he_o to_o the_o bar_n commit_v injustice_n in_o it_o i_o be_o not_o ignorant_a of_o the_o usual_a reply_n to_o this_o answer_n by_o distinguish_v between_o will_n and_o permission_n as_o that_o god_n almighty_n do_v indeed_o permit_v sin_n sometime_o and_o that_o he_o also_o foreknow_v that_o the_o sin_n he_o permit_v shall_v be_v commit_v but_o do_v not_o will_n it_o nor_o necessitate_v it_o i_o know_v also_o they_o distinguish_v the_o action_n from_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o action_n say_v god_n almighty_n do_v indeed_o cause_v the_o action_n whatsoever_o action_n it_o be_v but_o not_o the_o sinfulness_n or_o irregularity_n of_o it_o that_o be_v the_o discordance_n between_o the_o action_n and_o the_o law_n such_o distinction_n as_o these_o dazzle_v my_o understanding_n i_o find_v no_o difference_n between_o the_o will_v to_o have_v a_o thing_n do_v and_o the_o permission_n to_o do_v it_o when_o he_o that_o permit_v it_o can_v hinder_v it_o and_o know_v it_o will_v be_v do_v unless_o he_o hinder_v it_o nor_o find_v i_o any_o difference_n between_o a_o action_n that_o be_v against_o the_o law_n and_o the_o sin_n of_o that_o action_n as_o for_o example_n between_o the_o kill_n of_o
