eph._n 2.3_o but_o it_o be_v but_o child_n of_o god_n wrath_n as_o well_o as_o other_o this_o be_v our_o great_a title_n in_o god_n sight_n whatsoever_o title_n else_o we_o be_v bear_v to_o in_o the_o world_n at_o god_n beck_n we_o escape_v or_o perish_v his_o mercy_n may_v save_v we_o his_o justice_n may_v condemn_v we_o what_o happiness_n then_o can_v we_o look_v for_o but_o from_o his_o election_n the_o price_n of_o our_o redemption_n be_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n 1.29_o joh._n 1.29_o he_o be_v god_n lamb_n that_o must_v take_v away_o the_o world_n sin_n he_o god_n will_v not_o give_v for_o the_o angel_n that_o be_v fall_v he_o he_o do_v give_v for_o man_n that_o have_v offend_v he_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o man_n be_v more_o happy_a than_o angel_n why_o christ_n die_v for_o man_n not_o for_o angel_n god_n choice_n and_o be_v not_o that_o the_o reason_n why_o one_o man_n rather_o than_o another_o shall_v be_v save_v by_o his_o death_n questionless_a it_o be_v so_o when_o christ_n be_v dead_a for_o we_o how_o come_v the_o merit_n of_o his_o passion_n to_o be_v apply_v to_o we_o we_o be_v dead_a in_o sin_n and_o can_v stretch_v out_o our_o hand_n to_o take_v it_o nor_o open_v our_o mouth_n to_o feed_v on_o it_o as_o man_n in_o a_o trance_n must_v have_v their_o mouth_n open_v and_o hot_a water_n put_v in_o by_o other_o so_o must_v we_o have_v christ_n passion_n apply_v unto_o we_o by_o god_n spirit_n and_o how_o come_v god_n spirit_n to_o apply_v it_o to_o one_o soul_n and_o not_o to_o another_o but_o because_o god_n have_v choose_v the_o one_o and_o not_o the_o other_o this_o kind_n of_o proceed_v do_v much_o illustrate_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n have_v god_n choose_v all_o election_n have_v be_v a_o common_a favour_n and_o common_a favour_n be_v light_o set_v by_o when_o peculiar_a privilege_n be_v high_o rate_v as_o betoken_v more_o love_n in_o the_o giver_n and_o bring_v more_o profit_n to_o the_o receiver_n if_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n in_o those_o who_o god_n choose_v more_o than_o in_o other_o the_o choice_n will_v not_o tend_v so_o much_o to_o god_n glory_n as_o to_o mans._n the_o honour_n will_v not_o be_v the_o elector_n but_o they_o that_o be_v elect_v but_o that_o favour_n that_o proceed_v from_o pure_a election_n redound_v altogether_o to_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o electour_n thus_o be_v god_n glory_n most_o promote_v by_o the_o freeness_n of_o his_o own_o choice_n but_o why_o shall_v this_o free_a choice_n of_o god_n offend_v the_o son_n of_o man_n what_o mean_v the_o low_v of_o the_o ox_n and_o the_o bleat_a of_o the_o sheep_n many_o thing_n be_v object_v against_o god_n liberty_n show_v in_o his_o choice_n obj._n 1_o first_o it_o be_v mutter_v that_o this_o choice_n be_v injurious_a to_o such_o as_o be_v reject_v who_o by_o this_o mean_n be_v make_v uncapable_a of_o eternal_a happiness_n answ_n i_o answer_v that_o it_o can_v be_v injurious_a to_o any_o because_o god_n be_v most_o free_a if_o a_o king_n may_v receive_v what_o servant_n he_o will_v and_o refuse_v who_o he_o please_v raise_v who_o he_o listen_v and_o neglect_v who_o he_o please_v shall_v god_n be_v hold_v injurious_a because_o he_o neglect_v those_o who_o he_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o receive_v we_o gather_v one_o flower_n and_o neglect_v another_o we_o choose_v one_o friend_n and_o refuse_v another's_o

he_o receive_v but_o can_v be_v injurious_a ●o_o such_o as_o he_o refuse_v furthermore_o god_n consider_v both_o corrupt_a in_o adam_n fall_v from_o their_o integrity_n and_o liable_a to_o his_o

whatsoever_o favour_n be_v show_v uther_n it_o be_v free_a for_o god_n to_o show_v mercy_n 〈◊〉_d execute_v justice_n second_o obj._n 2_o it_o be_v object_v that_o this_o derogate_v infinite_o from_o god_n mercy_n which_o will_v be_v far_o more_o glorious_a if_o it_o be_v extend_v to_o all_o man_n and_o if_o all_o have_v be_v choose_v to_o eternal_a happiness_n answ_n to_o this_o objection_n many_o solid_a answer_n may_v be_v frame_v 1._o we_o say_v that_o god_n mercy_n be_v sufficient_o show_v in_o save_v those_o who_o he_o choose_v he_o may_v in_o justice_n have_v condemn_v all_o man_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v abundant_a mercy_n in_o he_o to_o choose_v any_o to_o eternal_a happiness_n 2._o we_o say_v further_o that_o if_o god_n shall_v have_v have_v pity_n upon_o all_o and_o take_v all_o it_o have_v be_v no_o election_n at_o all_o he_o that_o refuse_v none_o choose_v none_o it_o be_v one_o thing_n to_o pick_v and_o choose_v another_o thing_n to_o take_v all_o and_o put_v by_o none_o 3._o we_o say_v god_n be_v just_a as_o well_o a_o merciful_a now_o if_o god_n shall_v have_v elect_v all_o he_o have_v lose_v the_o occasion_n o●_n show_v his_o justice_n upon_o the_o son_n o●_n man_n which_o can_v never_o have_v be_v redeem_v again_o unless_o god_n shall_v a●●ter_v his_o resolution_n and_o change_v his_o decree_n which_o be_v impossible_a last_o why_o do_v not_o these_o objector_n consider_v that_o if_o this_o reason_n take_v from_o the_o extend_v of_o god_n mercy_n to_o the_o uttermost_a bound_n be_v good_a they_o must_v be_v force_v with_o origen_n to_o bring_v in_o the_o devil_n too_o into_o heaven_n to_o leave_v hell_n empty_a and_o to_o make_v our_o saviour_n false_a of_o his_o word_n who_o affirm_v express_o that_o there_o be_v some_o sin_n which_o shall_v not_o be_v forgive_v neither_o in_o this_o world_n 12.32_o mat._n 12.32_o nor_o in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v well_o may_v god_n mercy_n then_o be_v sufficient_o show_v though_o some_o be_v leave_v for_o pattern_n of_o his_o justice_n obj._n 3_o three_o we_o hear_v man_n object_v that_o the_o mean_n of_o salvation_n be_v make_v frustrate_a by_o this_o doctrine_n of_o god_n particular_a choice_n and_o that_o it_o be_v in_o vain_a to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n if_o our_o salvation_n depend_v upon_o god_n election_n for_o as_o much_o as_o it_o will_v be_v unprofitable_a to_o the_o most_o who_o be_v refuse_v answ_n to_o drive_v out_o one_o nail_n with_o another_o we_o ask_v why_o man_n do_v not_o reason_n so_o in_o temporal_a thing_n why_o do_v they_o not_o say_v i_o shall_v be_v rich_a if_o god_n have_v so_o determine_v what_o need_v i_o labour_v and_o if_o it_o be_v otherwise_o determine_v i_o labour_v in_o vain_a why_o do_v they_o not_o say_v i_o shall_v live_v long_o if_o god_n have_v so_o decree_v and_o not_o otherwise_o what_o need_v i_o eat_v why_o do_v they_o not_o conclude_v i_o shall_v recover_v of_o my_o sickness_n if_o god_n have_v so_o appoint_v and_o what_o need_v i_o take_v physic_n unless_o they_o think_v that_o he_o without_o who_o providence_n not_o a_o sparrow_n fall_v to_o the_o ground_n take_v no_o care_n what_o become_v of_o man_n life_n or_o estate_n yet_o because_o this_o stop_n of_o gap_n in_o divinity_n be_v but_o half_a satisfaction_n we_o answer_v further_o that_o our_o salvation_n depend_v primary_o upon_o god_n choice_n but_o not_o upon_o it_o alone_o god_n that_o have_v choose_v we_o have_v keep_v his_o counsel_n to_o himself_o but_o have_v appoint_v certain_a subordinate_a mean_n to_o bring_v we_o to_o the_o assurance_n of_o our_o salvation_n even_o as_o in_o our_o temporal_a state_n god_n do_v not_o acquaint_v we_o who_o shall_v be_v rich_a and_o who_o shall_v be_v poor_a but_o appoint_v we_o to_o labour_v and_o to_o commit_v the_o success_n to_o he_o so_o for_o our_o soul_n god_n keep_v his_o determination_n to_o himself_o but_o will_v we_o to_o use_v the_o mean_n and_o to_o commit_v the_o event_n to_o he_o not_o doubt_v of_o his_o favour_n if_o we_o be_v not_o fail_v to_o ourselves_o obj._n 4_o four_o this_o be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o doctrine_n that_o maintain_v security_n impiety_n lasciviousness_n and_o overthrow_v prayer_n and_o watchfulness_n for_o what_o need_n he_o to_o pray_v or_o watch_v or_o forbear_v evil_a that_o can_v but_o be_v save_v whatsoever_o he_o do_v because_o he_o be_v choose_v to_o eternal_a life_n answ_n we_o answer_v 1._o that_o we_o must_v pray_v and_o watch_v as_o much_o as_o if_o our_o choice_n be_v uncertain_a to_o we_o so_o st._n 31._o
