upon_o that_o which_o follow_v in_o the_o same_o place_n so_o as_o i_o hold_v not_o this_o argument_n worthy_a of_o a_o answer_n the_o apostle_n intend_v not_o there_o to_o show_v the_o difference_n between_o the_o elect_a and_o reprobate_a in_o their_o infancy_n nor_o to_o declare_v that_o than_o they_o differ_v when_o they_o come_v to_o age_n by_o the_o actual_a conversion_n of_o the_o one_o and_o the_o final_a impenitency_n of_o the_o other_o but_o as_o mr_n perkins_n upon_o the_o place_n well_o say_v the_o apostle_n use_v a_o similitude_n borrow_v from_o the_o civil_a law_n and_o it_o

to_o the_o next_o 10_o objection_n object_n 10_o object_n that_o position_n that_o tie_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n to_o mean_n can_v neither_o be_v safe_a nor_o true_a for_o as_o much_o as_o god_n

where_o god_n have_v not_o first_o tie_v and_o engage_v himself_o can_v neither_o be_v safe_a nor_o true_a god_n be_v a_o free_a agent_n &_o can_v be_v tie_v by_o any_o creature_n and_o so_o i_o admit_v of_o that_o place_n in_o joh._n 3._o although_o to_o speak_v proper_o and_o precise_o it_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v rather_o of_o the_o freedom_n that_o god_n spirit_n take_v to_o work_v where_o &_o in_o what_o person_n he_o please_v then_o of_o the_o time_n when_o he_o work_v in_o those_o person_n for_o however_o this_o last_o in_o some_o sense_n be_v true_a too_o yet_o it_o may_v

that_o there_o be_v no_o danger_n to_o say_v that_o god_n be_v tie_v so_o far_o forth_o as_o he_o have_v vouchsafe_v to_o promise_v to_o be_v present_a in_o his_o own_o ordinance_n ordinary_o nor_o

say_v he_o be_v tie_v to_o perform_v for_o he_o be_v tie_v by_o that_o which_o can_v but_o hold_v he_o viz_o his_o own_o fidelity_n therefore_o the_o psalmist_n challenge_v god_n as_o engage_v to_o
