be_v elect_v there_o need_v no_o election_n of_o particular_a person_n afterward_o 4._o it_o will_v not_o suit_v the_o government_n of_o god_n to_o have_v his_o will_v depend_v upon_o man_n frail_a

be_v against_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o decree_n the_o decree_n of_o election_n be_v a_o sever_n some_o from_o other_o as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o scripture_n many_o be_v call_v few_o choose_n mat._n

viz._n if_o you_o believe_v 6._o this_o will_v follow_v upon_o it_o then_o those_o that_o be_v elect_v may_v be_v damn_v and_o those_o that_o be_v for_o the_o present_a reprobate_n and_o do_v not_o

7._o if_o god_n choose_v condition_n and_o not_o person_n until_o such_o time_n as_o they_o fulfil_v those_o condition_n than_o christ_n be_v make_v a_o king_n without_o a_o kingdom_n a_o shepherd_n

1._o john_n 3.16_o god_n so_o love_v the_o world_n that_o he_o give_v his_o only_a beget_v son_n that_o whosoever_o believe_v shall_v not_o perish_v etc._n etc._n now_o they_o form_v the_o objection_n thus_o there_o be_v a_o love_n of_o god_n common_a to_o all_o the_o world_n that_o upon_o condition_n they_o do_v believe_v they_o may_v be_v save_v therefore_o no_o difference_n of_o person_n only_o as_o they_o believe_v or_o not_o believe_v this_o they_o say_v it_o prove_v that_o god_n give_v christ_n for_o this_o end_n that_o every_o one_o may_v be_v elect_v if_o he_o will_v believe_v 1._o the_o first_o answer_n may_v be_v as_o to_o the_o word_n world_n here_o it_o be_v the_o elect_a of_o god_n and_o this_o word_n be_v so_o use_v in_o other_o place_n god_n be_v in_o christ_n reconcile_n

it_o speak_v of_o perish_v but_o sure_o god_n do_v not_o then_o begin_v to_o elect_v when_o man_n be_v fall_v no_o the_o fall_n of_o man_n be_v decree_v as_o a_o mean_n unto_o the_o accomplishment_n of_o the_o election_n what_o be_v do_v against_o the_o second_o adam_n christ_n be_v do_v by_o the_o determine_a counsel_n of_o god_n act_v 4.28_o so_o as_o to_o the_o first_o adam_n all_o be_v decree_v god_n who_o be_v infinite_o wise_a and_o govern_v to_o accomplish_v his_o own_o end_n will_v not_o let_v sin_n be_v in_o the_o world_n but_o that_o he_o know_v how_o to_o make_v grace_n

therefore_o before_o god_n do_v consider_v or_o think_v of_o any_o thing_n or_o have_v any_o thing_n in_o his_o eye_n of_o what_o be_v do_v in_o the_o world_n by_o we_o 3._o this_o scripture_n tell_v you_o that_o what_o god_n do_v he_o do_v out_o of_o love_n god_n so_o love_v the_o world_n now_o this_o love_n of_o god_n must_v either_o be_v natural_a affection_n in_o he_o or_o else_o it_o must_v be_v a_o decree_n natural_a it_o be_v not_o for_o than_o it_o must_v extend_v to_o all_o to_o the_o devil_n and_o his_o angel_n as_o well_o as_o to_o man_n those_o that_o conceive_v that_o there_o be_v natural_o in_o god_n a_o affection_n unto_o those_o that_o be_v in_o misery_n must_v needs_o conceive_v that_o affection_n to_o be_v as_o well_o to_o the_o devil_n and_o his_o angel_n which_o be_v in_o great_a misery_n than_o man_n as_o well_o as_o unto_o man_n themselves_o no_o it_o can_v be_v that_o for_o those_o affection_n that_o be_v in_o man_n be_v to_o be_v rule_v by_o reason_n and_o their_o will_n so_o be_v god_n affection_n likewise_o so_o that_o the_o love_n speak_v of_o here_o be_v god_n elect_v love_n love_n in_o his_o decree_n love_n with_o choice_n 4._o so_o love_v it_o be_v the_o great_a high_a love_n god_n can_v show_v to_o we_o nothing_o able_a to_o parallel_v it_o nothing_o that_o can_v go_v beyond_o it_o so_o it_o be_v say_v rom._n 5.8_o god_n commend_v his_o love_n to_o we_o in_o that_o christ_n be_v send_v to_o die_v for_o we_o i._n e._n he_o can_v not_o have_v set_v out_o his_o love_n more_o to_o we_o in_o this_o be_v manifest_v the_o love_n of_o god_n to_o we_o because_o that_o god_n send_v his_o only_o beget_v son_n that_o we_o may_v live_v through_o he_o 1_o john_n 4.9_o this_o love_n be_v make_v equal_a to_o that_o love_n that_o he_o give_v eternal_a life_n by_o therefore_o it_o must_v be_v elect_v love_n the_o high_a love_n now_o to_o elect_v upon_o condition_n be_v not_o the_o high_a love_n it_o be_v great_a love_n to_o elect_v without_o a_o condition_n than_o to_o elect_v after_o the_o condition_n be_v fulfil_v object_n 2._o if_o particular_a person_n be_v elect_v than_o they_o shall_v certain_o be_v save_v their_o salvation_n be_v necessary_a and_o if_o it_o be_v necessary_a what_o need_v any_o endeavour_n what_o need_v man_n use_v the_o mean_n who_o shall_v be_v save_v and_o it_o can_v be_v otherwise_o but_o election_n make_v it_o necessary_a that_o those_o person_n be_v save_v and_o so_o take_v away_o endeavour_n we_o may_v live_v as_o we_o list_v answ_n there_o be_v a_o double_a necessity_n one_a of_o nature_n as_o a_o stone_n that_o go_v downward_o and_o a_o necessity_n of_o compulsion_n when_o thing_n be_v make_v to_o act_v against_o their_o own_o nature_n as_o stone_n to_o move_v upward_o to_o ascend_v this_o necessity_n take_v away_o all_o endeavour_n 2d_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n of_o infallibility_n or_o unchangeableness_n and_o this_o stand_v with_o freedom_n as_o for_o example_n the_o apostle_n paul_n say_v he_o must_v go_v to_o jerusalem_n and_o yet_o he_o go_v free_o christ_n ought_v to_o suffer_v it_o be_v say_v the_o thing_n he_o be_v appoint_v to_o and_o yet_o he_o do_v suffer_v very_o free_o he_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n very_o willing_o when_o thing_n be_v ordain_v to_o some_o end_n they_o be_v so_o ordain_v that_o that_o end_n shall_v certain_o be_v accomplish_v so_o when_o god_n say_v we_o shall_v obtain_v eternal_a life_n through_o holiness_n we_o shall_v be_v holy_a that_o we_o may_v attain_v thereunto_o look_v into_o scripture_n and_o you_o shall_v find_v that_o notwithstanding_o the_o salvation_n of_o the_o saint_n have_v be_v certain_a this_o have_v be_v so_o far_o from_o take_v they_o off_o endeavour_n that_o it_o have_v be_v as_o a_o great_a

take_v so_o much_o care_n of_o they_o in_o his_o election_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o come_v short_a of_o glory_n but_o certain_o obtain_v it_o paul_n say_v who_o shall_v lay_v any_o thing_n to_o the_o charge_n of_o god_n elect_n and_o who_o shall_v condemn_v and_o who_o shall_v separate_v rom._n 8.33_o 34._o and_o yet_o who_o more_o diligent_a than_o he_o abound_v in_o goodness_n and_o stir_v
