god_n let_v therefore_o appear_v in_o our_o head_n the_o very_a fountain_n of_o grace_n from_o who_o according_a to_o the_o measure_n of_o every_o one_o it_o flow_v abroad_o into_o all_o his_o

ult._n again_o in_o a_o other_o place_n there_o be_v no_o plain_a example_n of_o predestination_n than_o the_o mediator_n himself_o for_o he_o that_o make_v of_o the_o seed_n of_o david_n a_o man_n

the_o membre_n of_o that_o head_n and_o so_o forth_o as_o there_o follow_v therefore_o when_o we_o speak_v of_o christ_n deserve_n we_o do_v not_o say_v that_o in_o he_o be_v the_o begin_n of_o

and_o but_o because_o he_o be_v appoint_v to_o this_o purpose_n with_o his_o sacrifice_n to_o appease_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n and_o with_o his_o obedience_n to_o put_v away_o our_o offence_n final_o in_o a_o sum_n because_o the_o deserve_v of_o christ_n hang_v upon_o the_o only_a grace_n of_o god_n which_o appoint_v we_o this_o mean_a of_o salvation_n therefore_o as_o well_o the_o same_o
