back_o and_o therefore_o i_o write_v out_o of_o my_o soul_n paper_n that_o letter_n over_o and_o send_v it_o to_o you_o to_o read_v and_o i_o now_o send_v you_o these_o three_o or_o four_o sheet_n

for_o protestant_n conformi_v and_o nonconformist_n with_o care_n against_o the_o two_o rock_n of_o socinianism_n and_o antinomianism_n as_o for_o arminianism_n or_o the_o five_o point_n mr._n baxter_n have_v make_v it_o his_o business_n to_o bring_v the_o difference_n to_o so_o little_a compass_n that_o however_o the_o synod_n of_o dort_n in_o their_o day_n when_o protestant_n who_o have_v but_o new_o get_v loose_a from_o popery_n and_o a_o part_n of_o they_o from_o lutheranism_n be_v so_o much_o engage_v about_o it_o i_o can_v wish_v that_o those_o name_n of_o calvinism_n and_o

we_o can_v and_o not_o exceed_v it_o when_o our_o doctrine_n have_v be_v calvinistical_a our_o use_n must_v be_v arminian_n or_o we_o must_v leave_v preach_v to_o the_o people_n there_o be_v indeed_o a_o difference_n in_o the_o five_o point_n about_o perseverance_n wherein_o the_o synodi●_n and_o arminian_n do_v real_o differ_v and_o both_o from_o st._n augustine_n who_o will_v allow_v that_o

controversy_n as_o to_o the_o other_o five_o point_n will_v come_v all_o to_o this_o dispute_v only_o whether_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n be_v resistible_a as_o they_o have_v express_v it_o and_o when_o the_o will_n can_v be_v compel_v or_o force_v so_o that_o it_o have_v and_o must_v have_v a_o power_n to_o resist_v it_o appear_v hard_a to_o say_v it_o be_v irresistible_a my_o opinion_n be_v this_o that_o though_o it_o be_v true_a that_o man_n have_v a_o natural_a power_n still_o to_o resist_v yet_o when_o elect_v or_o effectual_a grace_n once_o come_v it_o take_v away_o the_o moral_a power_n of_o resist_v and_o upon_o that_o account_n it_o may_v be_v call_v irresistible_a as_o the_o reprobate_n have_v a_o natural_a power_n or_o his_o faculty_n to_o believe_v repent_v and_o so_o may_v be_v save_v if_o he_o will_v yet_o have_v such_o a_o indisposition_n which_o be_v his_o moral_a impotency_n thereunto_o as_o he_o have_v he_o never_o will_v and_o because_o he_o will_v not_o he_o be_v damn_v so_o the_o elect_n have_v his_o natural_a power_n to_o resist_v if_o he_o will_v but_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n do_v so_o dispose_v he_o as_o that_o moral_o he_o can_v and_o therefore_o he_o will_v not_o and_o so_o by_o grace_n he_o be_v save_v as_o for_o the_o arminian_n they_o plead_v for_o grace_n to_o prevent_v we_o to_o assist_v we_o to_o cooperate_v with_o we_o as_o much_o as_o we_o and_o that_o we_o can_v do_v nothing_o without_o it_o in_o order_n to_o be_v save_v neither_o may_v their_o contend_v that_o all_o may_v be_v save_v if_o they_o will_v offend_v any_o
