in_o the_o three_o signification_n and_o so_o much_o for_o the_o word_n now_o that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o election_n it_o be_v evident_a by_o these_o reason_n first_o by_o express_a testimony_n of_o holy_a scripture_n 1â—_n many_o be_v call_v but_o few_o be_v choose_v i_o know_v say_v christ_n who_o i_o have_v choose_v so_o many_o as_o be_v ordain_v to_o eternal_a life_n believe_v

prove_v the_o necessity_n of_o learning_n &_o understand_v this_o doctrine_n which_o i_o will_v do_v with_o these_o two_o reason_n the_o first_o be_v this_o 1._o that_o doctrine_n ought_v to_o be_v learn_v which_o serve_v to_o declare_v god_n glory_n but_o the_o doctrine_n of_o election_n do_v manifest_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n for_o first_o it_o show_v that_o we_o be_v elect_v to_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n and_o to_o the_o praise_n of_o his_o glorious_a grace_n second_o it_o argue_v and_o illustrate_v his_o essential_a property_n as_o his_o omnipotency_n omniscience_n eternity_n mercy_n three_o this_o doctrine_n do_v both_o demonstrate_v and_o defend_v the_o free_a grace_n of_o god_n against_o all_o contrariant_n heresy_n and_o error_n and_o will_v arm_v we_o against_o many_o impetuous_a enemy_n of_o the_o truth_n therefore_o it_o be_v a_o doctrine_n worthy_a to_o be_v learn_v second_o that_o doctrine_n be_v necessary_o to_o be_v learn_v which_o be_v profitable_a to_o we_o in_o the_o course_n of_o christianity_n but_o the_o doctrine_n of_o election_n will_v avail_v we_o much_o in_o the_o run_n of_o this_o race_n for_o first_o it_o relieve_v our_o faith_n against_o diffidence_n show_v that_o our_o salvation_n hang_v not_o like_o a_o meteour_n in_o the_o air_n but_o be_v firm_o fix_v upon_o the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n second_o it_o further_v our_o spiritual_a joy_n in_o that_o it_o teach_v that_o the_o love_n of_o god_n be_v constant_a 2.19_o and_o his_o decree_n concern_v our_o welfare_n be_v eternal_a three_o it_o eclipse_v the_o pride_n of_o the_o heart_n show_v that_o god_n dignation_n and_o not_o man_n dignity_n his_o favour_n &_o not_o man_n faith_n his_o mercy_n and_o not_o man_n merit_n be_v the_o fountain_n and_o foundation_n of_o man_n felicity_n four_o it_o provoke_v we_o to_o true_a gratitude_n and_o the_o practice_n of_o all_o good_a work_n 3.5_o because_o it_o teach_v to_o ascribe_v our_o salvation_n whole_o to_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n 1.4_o and_o not_o to_o our_o own_o goodness_n as_o also_o that_o we_o be_v elect_v to_o be_v holy_a and_o not_o to_o follow_v the_o swinge_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o to_o go_v a_o whore_v after_o our_o own_o lust_n five_o this_o doctrine_n minister_v comfort_n to_o we_o and_o help_v our_o patience_n in_o adversity_n â—â—_o for_o it_o teach_v that_o we_o be_v predestinate_v to_o wear_v the_o crown_n of_o thorn_n with_o christ_n as_o well_o as_o the_o crown_n of_o glory_n and_o that_o as_o we_o be_v cover_v with_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n as_o with_o a_o canopy_n while_o we_o live_v in_o this_o world_n so_o we_o shall_v be_v honour_v with_o immortal_a glory_n in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v therefore_o this_o doctrine_n ought_v to_o be_v learned_a and_o remember_v four_o it_o be_v fit_a for_o minister_n to_o acquaint_v their_o people_n with_o this_o doctrine_n the_o reason_n be_v these_o praed_fw-we first_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n and_o some_o of_o the_o old_a prophet_n have_v commend_v this_o doctrine_n unto_o the_o church_n and_o do_v teach_v it_o the_o people_n but_o it_o be_v grievous_a sacrilege_n to_o deprive_v the_o poor_a people_n of_o that_o which_o god_n do_v vouchsafe_v they_o and_o transcendent_a impiety_n to_o deny_v the_o preach_n of_o that_o in_o the_o church_n which_o god_n do_v teach_v in_o his_o word_n for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o church_n for_o whatsoever_o be_v write_v in_o the_o word_n 4_o it_o be_v write_v for_o our_o learning_n that_o through_o the_o consolation_n of_o the_o scripture_n we_o may_v have_v hope_n 16._o second_o the_o gospel_n ought_v to_o be_v preach_v unto_o all_o both_o learned_a and_o unlearned_a but_o the_o doctrine_n of_o election_n be_v a_o principal_a part_n of_o the_o gospel_n yea_o the_o

therefore_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v promulge_v and_o make_v 〈…〉_z unto_o all_o three_o this_o doctrine_n be_v very_o useful_a and_o solatious_a and_o may_v be_v apply_v to_o many_o notable_a purpose_n for_o it_o show_v we_o the_o true_a cause_n of_o all_o our_o happiness_n second_o it_o confute_v the_o pelagian_n who_o ascribe_v salvation_n to_o man_n own_o strength_n and_o merit_n and_o utter_o

elect_v we_o unto_o life_n ibid._n we_o conclude_v that_o he_o be_v very_a god_n five_o as_o it_o testify_v the_o love_n of_o god_n unto_o we_o so_o likewise_o it_o serve_v to_o inflame_v we_o with_o

of_o this_o doctrine_n it_o show_v the_o great_a power_n and_o authority_n that_o god_n have_v over_o
neither_o be_v all_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n elect_v 1.12_o as_o be_v abraham_n it_o be_v god_n who_o make_v we_o meet_v to_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o inheritance_n of_o the_o saint_n and_o

even_o so_o we_o may_v be_v call_v our_o own_o elector_n if_o we_o do_v move_v god_n to_o elect_v we_o by_o our_o dignity_n or_o prerogative_n final_o god_n respect_v not_o these_o thing_n in_o save_v we_o 1.12_o therefore_o neither_o in_o elect_a us._n for_o if_o they_o do_v move_v god_n to_o elect_v we_o they_o shall_v also_o persuade_v he_o to_o redeem_v and_o save_v we_o which_o be_v against_o the_o scripture_n in_o many_o place_n 45._o final_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o the_o efficient_a or_o impulsive_a cause_n of_o election_n though_o it_o be_v of_o salvation_n for_o the_o efficient_a cause_n of_o election_n which_o be_v without_o beginning_n must_v also_o be_v without_o beginning_n but_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o from_o eternity_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o the_o efficient_a cause_n of_o eternal_a election_n second_o if_o christ_n himself_o as_o mediator_n be_v elect_v from_o all_o eternity_n than_o his_o merit_n be_v not_o the_o cause_n of_o
