elect_v it_o be_v in_o christ_n the_o heavenly_a seed_n and_o for_o his_o sake_n and_o not_o otherwise_o he_o be_v god_n elect_n in_o who_o his_o soul_n delight_v he_o be_v god_n oath_n and_o

respect_n to_o good_a or_o evil_a how_o shall_v we_o reconcile_v these_o follow_a passage_n deduce_v from_o scripture_n 1._o that_o there_o be_v a_o state_n of_o election_n from_o which_o man_n may_v fall_v away_o it_o be_v clear_a from_o scripture_n all_o mankind_n be_v make_v good_a be_v god_n choose_a creature_n and_o his_o delight_n make_v to_o a_o end_n of_o his_o glory_n and_o to_o enjoy_v he_o for_o ever_o and_o yet_o through_o the_o fall_n all_o mankind_n suffer_v loss_n according_a to_o which_o the_o scripture_n say_v we_o have_v all_o sin_v and_o come_v short_a of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n that_o in_o adam_n all_o die_v that_o man_n that_o be_v in_o honour_n and_o abide_v not_o therein_o become_v as_o the_o beast_n of_o the_o field_n that_o perish_v adam_n be_v thus_o elect_a and_o fall_v the_o people_n of_o israel_n be_v god_n elect_a people_n and_o many_o of_o they_o fall_v 2._o that_o this_o state_n of_o election_n though_o man_n may_v fall_v from_o it_o yet_o may_v be_v restore_v again_o israel_n be_v a_o peculiar_a and_o choose_a people_n a_o election_n out_o of_o a_o election_n to_o who_o appertain_v the_o adoption_n and_o the_o glory_n etc._n etc._n and_o yet_o those_o the_o natural_a branch_n be_v some_o of_o they_o break_v off_o through_o unbelief_n 11._o rom._n 11._o notwithstanding_o of_o they_o it_o be_v say_v if_o they_o abide_v not_o in_o

the_o olive-tree_n which_o be_v wild_a by_o nature_n and_o be_v graff_v contrary_a to_o nature_n into_o a_o good_a olive_n tree_n how_o much_o more_o shall_v these_o who_o be_v the_o natural_a

that_o some_o who_o be_v elect_v may_v fall_v away_o and_o can_v be_v restore_v again_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o those_o who_o be_v once_o enlighten_v and_o have_v taste_v of_o the_o heavenly_a

they_o fall_v away_o to_o renew_v they_o again_o unto_o repentance_n see_v they_o crucify_v to_o themselves_o the_o son_n of_o god_n afresh_o and_o put_v he_o to_o a_o open_a shame_n 4._o that_o some_o elect_v may_v final_o and_o total_o fall_v away_o it_o be_v manifest_a from_o the_o abovementioned_a scripture_n and_o from_o heb._n 10._o v._o 26_o 17._o for_o if_o we_o sin_v wilful_o after_o that_o we_o have_v receive_v the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n there_o remain_v no_o more_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n but_o a_o certain_a fearful_a look_v for_o of_o judgement_n and_o fiery_a

11.7_o rom._n 11.7_o they_o give_v not_o diligence_n to_o add_v to_o their_o faith_n virtue_n etc._n etc._n and_o he_o that_o have_v not_o these_o thing_n be_v blind_a etc._n etc._n and_o those_o be_v
