have_v be_v so_o mind_v i_o can_v therefore_o but_o take_v this_o as_o a_o trick_n of_o mr._n breerley_n when_o he_o see_v campian_n quotation_n of_o luther_n confute_v by_o dr._n whitaker_n to_o

the_o roman_a church_n have_v go_v further_o in_o their_o censure_n of_o chrysostome_n as_o citat_fw-la alvarez_n relate_v viz._n that_o he_o hold_v that_o election_n whereby_o we_o first_o accept_v

as_o also_o by_o the_o reason_n allege_v by_o alvarez_n and_o jansenius_n why_o chrysostome_n do_v exceed_v at_o least_o in_o his_o expression_n viz._n because_o he_o be_v so_o earnest_a against_o the_o manichee_n and_o other_o and_o know_v nothing_o of_o the_o contrary_a error_n of_o the_o pelagian_n which_o reason_n may_v transport_v the_o other_o father_n also_o it_o be_v true_a say_v

much_o for_o the_o confirm_v of_o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o will_n against_o the_o heresy_n of_o the_o manichee_n he_o add_v that_o austin_n also_o in_o his_o write_n against_o the_o pelagian_n do_v

as_o the_o pelagian_n do_v make_v use_n of_o his_o former_a write_n against_o the_o manichee_n thereby_o to_o maintain_v their_o opinion_n concern_v the_o power_n of_o freewill_n in_o opposition_n to_o the_o necessity_n and_o efficacy_n of_o god_n grace_n thus_o likewise_o jansenius_n say_v that_o after_o the_o pelagian_a heresy_n be_v rise_v 59_o than_o austin_n speak_v more_o exact_o and_o more_o express_o of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n the_o jesuit_n 44._o maldonate_fw-it do_v tell_v we_o that_o ammonius_n and_o cyrill_n theophylact_fw-mi and_o euthymius_n so_o expound_v that_o no_o

as_o if_o say_v he_o before_o a_o man_n be_v draw_v by_o grace_n unto_o grace_n he_o can_v deserve_v grace_n which_o be_v to_o be_v worthy_a to_o be_v draw_v but_o though_o irenaeus_n and_o cyrill_n be_v liable_a to_o these_o exception_n yet_o i_o see_v nothing_o in_o the_o 72._o place_n cite_v by_o the_o marquesse_n wherein_o they_o make_v against_o we_o irenaeus_n say_v thus_o if_o it_o be_v
