of_o the_o lord_n be_v glorious_a and_o bring_v wonderful_a thing_n to_o pass_v the_o subject_n of_o this_o effectual_a vocation_n or_o the_o person_n that_o be_v effectual_o call_v be_v not_o all_o of_o all_o sort_n and_o fex_n without_o exception_n of_o any_o 8.30_o but_o the_o elect_a of_o god_n and_o therefore_o paul_n say_v that_o god_n have_v call_v those_o who_o he_o do_v foreknow_v and_o predestine_v 54.13_o and_o isaiah_n say_v all_o thy_o child_n shall_v be_v teach_v of_o the_o lord_n he_o say_v not_o all_o without_o exception_n but_o all_o the_o child_n of_o the_o church_n 13.48_o as_o many_o say_v luke_n as_o be_v ordain_v unto_o eternal_a life_n believe_v that_o be_v be_v call_v unto_o the_o faith_n 1_o knowledge_n be_v not_o common_a to_o all_o it_o be_v not_o give_v to_o all_o to_o understand_v the_o mystery_n of_o the_o kingdom_n 13.1_o these_o thing_n be_v hide_v from_o most_o of_o the_o wise_a of_o this_o world_n â—_o &_o reveal_v unto_o babe_n now_o if_o knowledge_n be_v give_v to_o some_o &_o not_o to_o other_o then_o consequent_o faith_n for_o they_o which_o have_v not_o know_v can_v believe_v and_o if_o all_o man_n do_v not_o believe_v than_o all_o man_n be_v not_o call_v â—â—_o for_o save_v faith_n be_v a_o indissoluble_a companion_n of_o effectual_a vocation_n and_o by_o faith_n we_o answer_v god_n heavenly_a call_v 6_o all_o that_o be_v effectual_o call_v be_v also_o justify_v but_o we_o be_v justify_v only_o by_o faith_n therefore_o justify_v faith_n may_v not_o be_v sever_v from_o those_o that_o be_v so_o call_v 8.30_o now_o all_o man_n have_v not_o faith_n therefore_o all_o man_n be_v not_o call_v furthermore_o all_o that_o be_v call_v shall_v be_v save_v and_o shall_v persevere_v unto_o the_o end_n in_o grace_n therefore_o augustine_n say_v that_o to_o those_o that_o be_v predestinate_v to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n as_o all_o that_o be_v effectual_o call_v 163_o be_v be_v give_v the_o gift_n of_o perseverance_n and_o that_o the_o church_n on_o earth_n lose_v none_o but_o those_o that_o be_v wicked_a and_o admit_v none_o into_o heaven_n but_o such_o as_o be_v good_a now_o all_o man_n do_v not_o persevere_v therefore_o all_o be_v not_o effectual_o call_v all_o be_v not_o glorify_v therefore_o all_o be_v not_o partaker_n of_o this_o kind_n of_o call_v final_o god_n vouchsafe_v not_o a_o outward_a call_n unto_o all_o all_o man_n have_v not_o hear_v of_o the_o gospel_n and_o therefore_o it_o may_v seem_v absurd_a that_o god_n shall_v vouchsafe_v a_o inward_a call_n unto_o all_o see_v he_o do_v not_o vouchsafe_v a_o outward_a by_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n yea_o this_o be_v to_o make_v grace_n as_o large_a as_o nature_n or_o as_o peter_n mâ—rytâ—_n speak_v to_o turn_v grace_n into_o nature_n if_o we_o shall_v say_v 1_o that_o god_n do_v effectual_o call_v all_o we_o conclude_v therefore_o that_o the_o elect_n be_v the_o only_a subiectâ—_n of_o this_o vocation_n for_o as_o
