church_n baptise_v infant_n if_o we_o be_v not_o bear_v the_o child_n of_o wrath_n give_v therefore_o wicked_a pelagius_n glory_n to_o god_n and_o if_o thou_o can_v acknowledge_v at_o the_o last_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n not_o whereby_o we_o be_v create_v that_o we_o may_v be_v man_n for_o this_o we_o lostin_a adam_n if_o thou_o only_o excepte_v this_o because_o we_o sin_v willing_o but_o that_o whereby_o we_o be_v justify_v that_o we_o may_v be_v just_a man_n for_o god_n be_v he_o which_o altogether_o work_v in_o we_o the_o will_n and_o the_o deed_n and_o to_o what_o purpose_n shall_v it_o be_v to_o undo_v with_o more_o word_n the_o doubt_n which_o thou_o patche_v see_v augustine_n have_v write_v so_o plain_o and_o plenteous_o to_o valentine_n of_o this_o same_o matter_n de_fw-fr

thou_o will_v or_o no_o a_o confident_a avoucher_n of_o the_o christian_a verity_n against_o pighius_fw-la have_v show_v yet_o i_o will_v speak_v in_o few_o word_n that_o may_v satisfy_v thou_o if_o thou_o love_v the_o truth_n the_o use_n of_o admonition_n be_v manifold_a which_o thou_o seem_v not_o sufficient_o to_o have_v understand_v the_o godly_a be_v admonish_v that_o so_o oft_o as_o need_n

they_o may_v return_v into_o the_o way_n that_o when_o they_o know_v their_o weakness_n they_o may_v take_v better_a heed_n to_o themselves_o but_o thou_o say_v we_o strive_v not_o about_o these_o for_o to_o these_o it_o be_v give_v to_o will_n and_o do_v let_v we_o come_v therefore_o to_o the_o foreigner_n of_o these_o there_o be_v two_o kind_n for_o some_o albeit_o not_o yet_o call_v yet_o by_o god_n secret_a election_n they_o belong_v to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n other_o be_v avow_a to_o just_a destruction_n thou_o indeed_o deny_v this_o difference_n but_o we_o have_v prove_v it_o out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o his_o place_n &_o experience_n itself_o approve_v it_o to_o be_v true_a but_o albeit_o the_o sun_n beam_n be_v all_o one_o and_o the_o same_o yet_o if_o

to_o these_o there_o be_v the_o effectual_a work_n of_o the_o spirit_n join_v with_o the_o outward_a preach_v of_o the_o word_n therefore_o as_o the_o lord_n say_v i_o have_v give_v they_o precept_n

to_o eat_v a_o rock_n and_o he_o shall_v not_o do_v it_o he_o be_v no_o more_o excusable_a after_o the_o precept_n than_o before_o likewise_o if_o god_n say_v to_o i_o steal_v not_o and_o i_o steal_v
