then_o second_o shall_v show_v also_o in_o what_o line_n the_o decree_n of_o god_n run_v both_o as_o touch_v election_n &_o reprobation_n and_o three_o shall_v show_v that_o gad_n do_v decree_n to_o

multiply_v word_n to_o prove_v this_o because_o i_o think_v none_o will_v deny_v it_o and_o this_o be_v god_n decree_n that_o of_o old_a he_o do_v ordain_v godly_a man_n to_o salvation_n and_o

and_o if_o they_o turn_v from_o righteousness_n to_o live_v in_o sinful_a course_n than_o the_o decree_n of_o condemnation_n reach_v or_o comprehend_v they_o so_o that_o god_n change_v not_o but_o it_o be_v man_n that_o change_v for_o god_n decree_n be_v to_o save_v righteous_a man_n and_o destroy_v wicked_a man_n not_o look_v at_o this_o man_n or_o the_o other_o man_n person_n but_o as_o he_o

have_v decree_v to_o change_v his_o dispensation_n of_o mercy_n or_o misery_n according_a to_o the_o creature_n obedience_n or_o disobedience_n and_o first_o 10._o jer._n 18.7_o 8_o 9_o 10._o see_v

if_o that_o nation_n against_o who_o i_o promunce_v turn_v from_o their_o evil_n i_o will_v repent_v of_o the_o evil_a that_o i_o think_v to_o do_v unto_o they_o and_o it_o what_o instant_n i_o speak_v concern_v a_o nation_n and_o concern_v a_o kingdom_n to_o build_v and_o to_o plant_v it_o if_o it_o do_v evil_a in_o my_o sight_n that_o it_o obey_v not_o my_o voice_n then_o will_v i_o repent_v of_o the_o good_a that_o i_o say_v i_o will_v benefit_v they_o withal_o the_o very_a same_o you_o may_v see_v concern_v the_o house_n of_o eli_n in_o 2.30_o 1_o sam._n 2.30_o these_o word_n wherefore_o the_o lord_n god_n of_o israel_n say_v i_o say_v indeed_o that_o thy_o house_n and_o the_o house_n of_o thy_o father_n shall_v walk_v before_o i_o for_o ever_o but_o now_o the_o lord_n

3.10_o jonah_n 3.10_o that_o nineveh_n be_v not_o destroy_v although_o the_o lord_n command_v jona_n to_o cry_v forty_o day_n and_o nineveh_n shall_v be_v destroy_v disobedience_n god_n do_v decree_n to_o change_v the_o dispernation_n of_o mercy_n or_o justice_n according_a to_o the_o creature_n obedience_n or_o disobedience_n and_o god_n see_v their_o work_n that_o they_o turn_v from_o their_o

god_n change_v the_o dispensation_n of_o mercy_n and_o justice_n according_a to_o the_o creature_n act_v for_o he_o say_v eli'_v house_n shall_v abide_v or_o be_v establish_v before_o he_o but_o because_o eli_n prefer_v his_o son_n above_o god_n sacrifice_n suffer_v they_o to_o kick_v against_o it_o cause_v the_o lord_n to_o toot_v he_o up_o and_o again_o whereas_o god_n do_v say_v he_o will_v destroy_v nineveh_n they_o humble_v themselves_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o do_v unto_o they_o in_o punishment_n as_o he_o say_v he_o will_v and_o thus_o i_o have_v prove_v the_o three_o particular_n and_o full_o answer_v what_o you_o have_v say_v namely_o that_o to_o love_n and_o hate_n esau_n you_o dargue_v a_o change_n in_o god_n and_o so_o i_o p●ss_v to_o your_o second_o

to_o confound_v the_o wise_a and_o the_o despise_a thing_n to_o bring_v to_o naught_o that_o which_o seem_v to_o be_v mighty_a in_o wisdom_n that_o no_o flesh_n shall_v glory_v in_o his_o presence_n and_o again_o whereas_o you_o say_v that_o you_o be_v sure_a that_o the_o promise_n be_v by_o sprinkle_v and_o that_o it_o be_v a_o gopspel_n promise_n ezek._n 36.25_o compare_v with_o ephesian_n 5.26_o to_o which_o i_o answer_v brief_o and_o say_v that_o the_o promise_n in_o ezek._n 36._o be_v make_v to_o such_o a_o people_n as_o be_v not_o account_v by_o the_o holy_a spirit_n to_o be_v a_o

israel_n namely_o that_o the_o spirit_n shall_v be_v pour_v out_o upon_o they_o when_o the_o time_n be_v accomplish_v that_o be_v to_o say_v after_o their_o return_n out_o of_o captivity_n and_o the_o

and_o then_o if_o they_o search_v for_o sin_n in_o judah_n they_o find_v none_o but_o because_o i_o will_v hasten_v take_v notice_n of_o these_o scripture_n in_o the_o room_n of_o many_o see_v first_o
