A14095 A discovery of D. Iacksons vanitie. Or A perspective glasse, wherby the admirers of D. Iacksons profound discourses, may see the vanitie and weaknesse of them, in sundry passages, and especially so farre as they tende to the undermining of the doctrine hitherto received. Written by William Twisse, Doctor of Divinitie, as they say, from whom the copie came to the presse Twisse, William, 1578?-1646. 1631 (1631) STC 24402; ESTC S118777 563,516 728

who_o he_o will_v and_o who_o he_o will_v he_o harden_v but_o more_o than_o this_o as_o god_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o create_v any_o so_o neither_o can_v any_o thing_n save_o his_o own_o will_n bind_v

the_o one_o because_o god_n have_v create_v our_o nature_n now_o the_o unsoundnesse_n of_o this_o reason_n appear_v by_o this_o that_o god_n have_v create_v other_o thing_n as_o well_o as_o man_n yet_o who_o will_v conclude_v herehence_a that_o god_n must_v needs_o preserve_v they_o and_o not_o exclude_v they_o from_o this_o fruit_n of_o his_o love_n your_o other_o reason_n be_v because_o

yet_o you_o have_v a_o three_o reason_n which_o be_v this_o love_n be_v the_o nature_n of_o god_n as_o creator_n you_o can_v not_o be_v ignorant_a that_o god_n do_v free_o create_v the_o world_n and_o therefore_o that_o it_o be_v not_o natural_a to_o god_n to_o create_v it_o therefore_o you_o say_v that_o love_n be_v the_o nature_n of_o god_n as_o creator_n the_o sense_n and_o meaning_n whereof_o i_o comprehend_v not_o and_o i_o have_v make_v it_o already_o appear_v that_o though_o god_n create_v a_o thing_n yet_o be_v he_o not_o thereby_o bind_v to_o preserve_v it_o any_o long_a than_o he_o
