notwithstanding_o their_o most_o rational_a improvement_n except_o the_o father_n draw_v he_o not_o except_o he_o draw_v or_o sure_o engage_v the_o father_n by_o improvement_n but_o there_o will_v

god_n you_o next_o allege_v another_o scripture_n luke_n 13.24_o strive_v to_o enter_v in_o but_o as_o touch_v this_o i_o find_v no_o absolute_a promise_n of_o grace_n annex_v from_o god_n be_v

which_o sanctuary_n of_o justification_n by_o work_n we_o most_o obvious_o find_v be_v the_o strong_a one_o which_o the_o profound_a wisdom_n of_o the_o jew_n can_v erect_v rom._n 10.8_o object_n

on_o the_o wrack_n as_o be_v before_o show_v by_o propound_v question_n rational_a discuss_v they_o pray_v for_o etc._n etc._n but_o all_o this_o do_v not_o make_v christ_n confess_v i_o see_v you_o

and_o therefore_o not_o engage_v thereby_o so_o to_o do_v and_o consequent_o their_o not_o improve_n natural_n be_v not_o the_o reason_n of_o god_n not_o give_v faith_n which_o

take_v away_o from_o he_o by_o far_o more_o than_o we_o give_v and_o then_o we_o give_v only_o in_o conceit_n and_o take_v away_o from_o he_o in_o reality_n for_o the_o like_a order_n here_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v by_o we_o in_o make_v distribution_n between_o nature_n god_n handmaid_n and_o creature_n and_o god_n himself_o we_o must_v give_v to_o nature_n the_o thing_n that_o be_v nature_n as_o to_o god_n the_o thing_n that_o be_v god_n and_o as_o in_o the_o other_o case_n so_o here_o it_o be_v most_o true_a that_o when_o man_n think_v to_o be_v most_o bountiful_a to_o god_n and_o take_v away_o all_o from_o nature_n and_o cast_v all_o on_o god_n man_n may_v here_o dash_v their_o foot_n and_z and_o take_v away_o from_o god_n while_o think_v to_o give_v he_o a_o man_n may_v so_o far_o

nature_n sufficient_a to_o bring_v the_o guilt_n on_o it_o of_o its_o own_o condemnation_n than_o it_o must_v necessary_o reflect_v upon_o god_n but_o if_o we_o will_v consider_v two_o argument_n in_o

maintain_v consider_v this_o reason_n if_o man_n must_v labour_v for_o the_o bread_n which_o endure_v to_o everlasting_a life_n which_o christ_n be_v say_v to_o give_v they_o and_o he_o not_o give_v it_o than_o god_n of_o necessity_n must_v destroy_v man_n for_o not_o do_v that_o which_o be_v altogether_o out_o of_o their_o power_n to_o do_v for_o as_o for_o actual_a believe_v it_o be_v a_o work_n so_o far_o out_o of_o the_o power_n of_o the_o creature_n as_o that_o it_o require_v god_n power_n omnipotent_a to_o effect_v now_o to_o say_v god_n shall_v destroy_v his_o creature_n for_o want_v of_o such_o a_o action_n as_o can_v be_v do_v by_o any_o power_n inferior_a to_o god_n own_o which_o be_v infinite_a this_o be_v so_o hard_a a_o say_n and_o so_o contrary_a and_o rise_v up_o with_o that_o fiery_a contestation_n against_o what_o the_o scripture_n deliver_v concern_v the_o graciousness_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o god_n and_o mercy_n by_o jesus_n christ_n yea_o it_o so_o

in_o adam_n while_o as_o yet_o in_o the_o state_n of_o innocency_n then_o to_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n this_o will_v not_o all_o ease_n the_o business_n as_o if_o god_n may_v in_o a_o way_n of_o justice_n equity_n and_o righteousness_n condemn_v man_n for_o not_o do_v that_o which_o sometime_o they_o have_v power_n to_o do_v namely_o in_o their_o first_o parent_n though_o now_o they_o

first_o that_o man_n never_o have_v power_n in_o adam_n to_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n especial_o to_o justification_n may_v evident_o appear_v by_o these_o reason_n that_o which_o adam_n and_o himself_o never_o have_v in_o the_o state_n of_o innocency_n that_o certain_o his_o posterity_n can_v never_o have_v but_o certain_a it_o be_v that_o adam_n himself_o have_v never_o such_o power_n of_o believe_v in_o christ_n in_o innocency_n neither_o therefore_o can_v his_o posterity_n be_v suppose_v to_o have_v such_o a_o power_n now_o that_o he_o have_v no_o such_o power_n be_v evident_a hence_o because_o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n use_n or_o occasion_n of_o such_o a_o power_n as_o this_o to_o have_v be_v give_v to_o adam_n in_o that_o state_n we_o all_o know_v and_o look_v on_o

this_o of_o believe_v be_v when_o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n nor_o use_n thereof_o that_o there_o be_v no_o occasion_n thereof_o be_v evident_a because_o during_o the_o time_n of_o innocency_n he_o be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o righteousness_n and_o justification_n on_o other_o term_n and_o in_o another_o way_n so_o that_o he_o have_v no_o necessity_n of_o a_o power_n to_o believe_v to_o justification_n because_o as_o paul_n say_v gal._n 2._o if_o righteousness_n be_v by_o the_o law_n than_o christ_n die_v in_o vain_a so_o it_o have_v be_v in_o vain_a adam_n be_v under_o a_o righteousness_n by_o the_o law_n then_o for_o he_o to_o believe_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v dead_a or_o alive_a for_o his_o justification_n what_o be_v the_o reason_n man_n have_v no_o wing_n put_v

power_n of_o believe_v because_o well_o enough_o without_o even_o in_o a_o state_n of_o righteousness_n second_o if_o adam_n during_o his_o innocency_n have_v a_o power_n to_o believe_v either_o for_o his_o own_o or_o for_o any_o of_o his_o posterity_n their_o justification_n and_o salvation_n than_o he_o have_v a_o power_n also_o to_o foresee_v his_o fall_n because_o justification_n presuppose_v sin_n because_o it_o be_v from_o sin_n and_o consequent_o a_o power_n to_o believe_v presuppose_v a_o sight_n and_o a_o sense_n of_o sin_n but_o that_o he_o have_v no_o such_o principle_n in_o he_o whereby_o to_o foresee_v his_o fall_n in_o time_n of_o innocency_n be_v evident_a hence_o because_o have_v he_o have_v a_o power_n for_o to_o foresee_v his_o fall_n before_o he_o fall_v then_o he_o have_v a_o power_n or_o principle_n out_o of_o which_o he_o may_v have_v be_v make_v miserable_a before_o he_o sin_v because_o it_o can_v be_v imagine_v but_o that_o the_o foresight_n of_o his_o sin_n and_o fall_v and_o posterity_n with_o he_o and_o the_o whole_a world_n that_o shall_v come_v out_o of_o his_o loin_n will_v have_v be_v a_o very_a torment_a consideration_n to_o he_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v altogether_o against_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n that_o man_n shall_v be_v miserable_a before_o he_o sin_v hence_o it_o be_v clear_a he_o have_v no_o power_n then_o to_o believe_v in_o christ_n because_o not_o able_a to_o foresee_v his_o fall_n three_o if_o adam_n in_o innocency_n have_v power_n to_o believe_v in_o christ_n then_o have_v he_o a_o power_n to_o foresee_v the_o
