all_o do_v not_o apprehend_v faith_n again_o we_o hear_v also_o by_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o same_o paul_n that_o it_o be_v neither_o of_o he_o that_o run_v nor_o of_o he_o that_o will_v but_o

their_o heart_n be_v blind_v that_o they_o shall_v not_o understand_v and_o therefore_o the_o lord_n himself_o do_v open_o pronounce_v 20._o that_o many_o be_v call_v but_o few_o be_v choose_v moreover_o in_o a_o other_o place_n the_o same_o lord_n call_v his_o flock_n a_o little_a flock_n and_o why_o do_v he_o call_v it_o a_o little_a flock_n good_a sir_n i_o beseech_v you_o if_o god_n mercy_n so_o large_o pour_v abroad_o and_o so_o freé_o offer_v as_o you_o seem_v to_o blaze_v it_o out_o do_v extend_v itself_o to_o all_o person_n indifferent_o without_o exception_n why_o do_v not_o

so_o to_o do_v and_o yet_o i_o will_v not_o deny_v that_o which_o they_o teach_v of_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n i_o do_v know_v and_o confess_v that_o it_o be_v far_o and_o wide_o disperse_v abroad_o every_o where_n and_o that_o the_o same_o mercy_n of_o god_n deny_v itself_o to_o no_o person_n as_o augustine_n say_v but_o to_o such_o as_o will_v not_o receive_v it_o but_o in_o this_o same_o very_a mercy_n nevertheless_o two_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v consider_v mercy_n that_o god_n do_v not_o only_o offer_v those_o promise_n of_o benefit_n and_o blessing_n of_o his_o meére_n mercy_n &_o

first_o manner_n of_o speak_v i_o do_v confess_v that_o there_o be_v a_o certain_a general_a grace_n of_o god_n general_a and_o a_o certain_a freé_fw-fr choice_n of_o election_n lay_v open_a to_o all_o without_o exception_n that_o he_o may_v receive_v it_o that_o have_v a_o will_n to_o receive_v it_o so_o that_o under_o this_o word_n lay_v open_a god_n outward_a call_n be_v understand_v

this_o sense_n may_v we_o right_o say_v the_o pharaoh_n himself_o want_v not_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n nor_o saul_n no_o nor_o any_o of_o the_o rest_n who_o he_o do_v oftentimes_o allure_v with_o

that_o the_o same_o calling_n accord_v to_o god_n purpose_n fail_v every_o man_n have_v not_o in_o his_o own_o hand_n to_o choose_v or_o refuse_v that_o earnest_a desire_n and_o general_a grace_n

do_v accept_v they_o which_o will_v embrace_v his_o grace_n and_o reject_v they_o which_o will_v not_o receive_v it_o be_v altogether_o untrue_a nay_o it_o rather_o have_v be_v more_o convenient_a to_o fetch_v our_o founteine_v from_o the_o wellspring_n of_o grace_n then_o from_o the_o puddle_n of_o our_o own_o will_n so_o that_o we_o may_v speak_v more_o true_o on_o this_o wise_a will_n that_o
